As with the buds, you’ll need a phone running Android 13 or later, and dynamic head tracking only works with compatible video apps.

All I want is to be able to MANUALLY switch betweeny conncected multipoint inputs. It's infuriating that this isn't possible.

Isn't that possible in the app? I've changed it manually multiple times with the wf-1000xm4s

Let's say I have two connectione, one to my TV and one to my phone. There is afaik no way to manually tell the app/the headphones which input to use without disconnecting from one of the sources.

I have the xm4 ear buds, I can goto my Bluetooth device list and select it from any device. It'll switch to the device without any hassle.

It also supports two device but that's not a good experience.

My xm3 headphones have a single connection issue, but I mostly avoid it using my phone NFC. It prioritizes the NFC contact over any other Bluetooth device. And disconnecting is also just a tap away, easier than going into menus.
