I bought Sony Bluetooth earbuds recently, out of the box they wouldn't connect. You have to download an app, and agree to their EULA which is essentially "Were gonna steal data about everything you listen to" before you can connect to them via Bluetooth. Returned them the same day. Fuck Sony.
The WF-1000XM5s? I bought those a couple months ago and I feel like I was gaslit by all the tech reviewers saying they were the best.
Admittedly, they sound amazing, but they have so many technical issues that they're barely worth using. Connection issues constantly, noise cancelling popping in and out, they turn on and connect when they're in the case in my pocket, it takes 40 minutes to update them, if it even works at all, and the app is SO BAD!
I feel like I was bamboozled into paying a premium for bad earbuds.
They were the WF-500's. I have a high end pair of Bose earbuds for music, but for audiobooks at work I just wanted something decent. What really got me to return them is I couldn't use them single ear and have controls. Bought some Monster brand Chinese earbuds for dirt cheap, it's my third pair from this brand and for the most part I get a good 18 months out of them before they have connection issues or the battery doesn't last.
