Posted .Hi Bf35,
Thank you for the 5-star rating! We're glad you were able to figure it out. Also, we're glad you like the sound quality of the headphones. The WH-1000XM5 headphones have 2 processors that control 8 microphones for unprecedented noise cancellation and exceptional call quality. With a newly developed 30mm driver, DSEE – Extreme and Hi-Res audio support they provide awe-inspiring audio quality. Our Voice Pickup Technology uses 4 microphones that are calibrated to only pick up your voice, resulting in crystal clear calls. The automatic Speak to Chat feature will stop your music once you start talking and let in the ambient sound. With up to 30 hours of battery life and a quick charge feature. The new lightweight WH-1000XM5 headphones provide all day comfort in an elegant design. Thank you for choosing Sony!
Regards.
David

More Than Ok
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The audio quality isn’t as good as the XM4 even though they are more comfortable, and connection issues ensue when connecting more than one or two devices even when using the intended app with the headphones. The battery life is abysmal compared to any of the headphones I’ve had before whether it be Sony/Bose/Beats/Apple.

Posted .Hello Bagel,
Thank you for considering Sony products.
We apologize for the difficulties you have experienced with the WH1000XM5 headphones, including the audio quality, connection issues with multiple devices, and battery performance.
We suggest trying the equalizer in the Sony Sound Connect app to adjust the sound settings such as bass to better suit your preferences. You can follow the instructions here: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00286844.
