I have to correct my judgment about xm5, probably too hasty. The poor audio quality, especially as regards the bass, was dictated by the poor adherence of the tips. The adherence test with the original Sony ones is always negative, with tips of any size. I tried some spinfit cp100+ XL which luckily I had and the music is completely different and very high quality. Only that the cp100+ make the earphones protrude too much from the ears. I bought some azla sednaearfit max L on Amazon and they don't protrude too much like the spinfits but the fit isn't perfect. I probably have a large ear canal and am better off with the XLs. What could you recommend as an alternative to the Spinfit CP100+?

I'm using the Sony hybrid tips EP-EX11 which are working perfectly and seal well. For me it is the LL size. Passes the fit test 100%.

in the sony app - system (above) - changing touch sensor setting

But this settings only change ANC or Ambient, not OFF..

But this settings only change ANC or Ambient, not OFF..

Expand out the next section "[Ambient Sound Control] Setting" and tap on Off to add the checkmark. Then it will cycle through ANC->Ambient Sound->Off

I'm blind, thank you!

I am not sure they will work for you, but I use the Render tips (can be found on Amazon and HifiGo). They are foam tips with a silicone covering (similar to Symbio tips, but more compliant/squishy). Great fit, very comfortable, and nail passive isolation.

I find the SpinFit CP360 to sound and seal just like CP100 (non-plus) but they don't protrude as much.

After extensiv testing of 15 different ear tip types i concluded for myself that the Softears Ultra Clear Liquid Silicone ear tips are my favorite in combination with the XM5.
They are pretty comfortable over a extensive periode of time, have awesome isolation and sound wise they are S-Tier for me.

I feel that the stock tips are like foamies. Like comply tips

Everywhere like Amazon

As with most of my IEM's I stick with Spinfit CP100-M and with these, I still can't get my head around how the XM5 can sound so totally awesome (NC off, LDAC best) for the price considering all the electronics.

Way better than any other TWS I've tried and joggling with my wired high-ends for pure listening pleasure.

I'm currently using more than my M9's and FD7's! Admittedly for their super convenience too.

If I'm into analysis/critical mood it's still my M9's.

Yes in fact.. I'm trying them all but I still haven't found the right tips
