In the ANC wind handling section of this article, the comment that the headphones lack a wind noise reduction mode is false, the feature is just hidden by poor UI choices. You can find it in the ambient sound control section of the phone app, when you move the slider by just a tiny bit to the right (1 pip) it will switch to wind noise reduction mode, which works rather well overall. Don’t understand why Sony didn’t put a checkbox or something instead of this but eh. This probably also applies to the XM5, though I don’t own a pair to confirm.
