I find the software becomes unresponsive at least once a day, or worse executes the wrong commands based on input provided. Double-tap to stop? Fast forward or restart from beginning. Slide forward to skip forward? We know you really meant turn down the volume. Shutting down the software and relaunching usually fixes this, but for the money you pay for products, you'd think Sony would actually put some talented people on the development teams. Disappointing and frustrating.

Ever since the most recent update my earbuds keep switching to default settings for button functionality. I usually use one earbud at a time so I usually have playback set to both and having to set tbe left to playback control every time I reconnect it is extremely annoying. Also anytime you switch from noise canceling to passthrough or vice versa audio from your main device is almost cut while never pausing just so it can play its own sound.

I have been a long time Sony headphone user. This is my first pair of Sony Bluetooth headphones. These are horrible. I cannot find a way to keep them from constantly turning themselves off. They do not seem to stay paired with my phone or my PC. The app is clunky and lacks necessary features. I was also annoyed that there is not an app for PC. I shouldn't have to control the headphones that are paired to my PC with my phone. I'm constantly having to reconnect them during Zoom calls. Please fix.
