I question the word 'few'. Yes some people have fit issues from what I read.
Sony WF-1000XM5

i know 5 people who own them. All of them have problems in comparison to xm4 and others.
if someone tells me: best sound ever, i use it more often than my m9... There must be a super fit where 100% of the sound potential of the xm5 is used and directed into your ears.
this is absolutely not the case for or my friends. And not the case for many others users here in this forum.
however, i like them and hope to find tips that fit and stick soon.

So far I have tried the Spinfit CP100+, CP360, Azla SednaEarfit Max and they are certainly better than the originals, but the seal is still not optimal. I'm confident in the Sony EP-EX11 which should arrive next week!
I have perfect seal with Final E eartips.

Did you say you had tried Spinfit?
With them having the highly flexible neck area they just align into ear cannal. I found the XM4 just too ear filling in the body area for comfort (no tip issue, used same Spinfit).
To clarify, the ease of instant use of TWS is making me use them a lot, now they have excellent sound quality. I'm not saying they are better than my M9's or other wired IEM's, but not the massive drop in audio quality of some other TWS.
PS Maybe German ears are different
(assuming you & all friends are German)

German here, perfect fit with the Softears tips, also FiiO H18 and Spinfit W1 weren't bad.i will do this... For you
of course, this is what i understood anyway.

I looked everywhere for Softears but couldn't find them. I would really appreciate it if you could tell me where to buy them!

I paired my XM5 with my Dell Vostro 5620 with windows 10 pro.
The sound was terrible... where i can change to LDAC on windows?

re eartips: I have never liked foams, this hasn't changed with the new tips, this was also the case for me with XM3 ,& XM4 tips.
I don't have issues getting a seal, previously I was using Sedna crystal tips (I love the Xelastic but can't deal with them deforming every few weeks). This week I've tried the TRN-T series tips, they are a similar latex feel to the Sedna & the Softears, but are way more cost effective (I paid $8 AUD for 3 pairs on AliExpress). They now are my go to tip on the XM5 as well as XM4.
