Sony has updated its WF-1000XM5 earbuds and WH-1000XM5 headphones with new firmware. This update adds support for Google’s Find My Device network, making it easier to locate the devices if lost. The update also introduces compatibility with Sony's new LinkBuds Speaker, which features an Auto Switch function. This allows the speaker to take over playback from the headphones when they are not in use. To use these new features, users need to install Sony’s Sound Connect app. The Find My Device feature will only work during specific audio connections, limiting its availability under certain conditions.
