Hi YharaP,

We are elated to hear that you are enjoying the overall quality of your WH-1000XM5 headphones, though we appreciate your honest feedback regarding the volume, bass, and color. While we aim for our Rose Pink to be a subtle, elegant shade, we understand that it can appear closer to a soft lavender depending on the lighting.

To get that powerful bass and volume level you’re looking for, we highly recommend downloading the Sony Sound Connect app. Within the app, you can access a fully customizable Equalizer. By adjusting the "Clear Bass" slider or selecting the "Excited" preset, you can significantly punch up the low-end frequencies and tailor the entire sound profile to your exact personal taste.

Thank you for trusting Sony.

Regards,
Dominick
