I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don’t hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don’t even use.

    Sony WF-1000XM5s. I feel like I’m going crazy because all the reviews online said they were the best of the best. That they were near perfect.

    And yet, the usability sucks. They connect to my phone while they’re in the case and closed, the noise cancelling cuts on and off, and sometimes they just refuse to connect until I put them back in the case.

    The Sony headphones app also really sucks.

    The sound quality is admittedly fantastic, but usability is just so frustrating.

      Similar experience for my xm4s. Great sound, they’re comfy, but the app is dogshit and the buttons/ touch controls physically hurt me to use.

      I like all the options the Sony Headphones app provides, but the WF-1000XM5s have some serious connectivity issues. Constantly connects while in my pocket or I have cut outs while listening to music. The XM4s were much better.
