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.
To address connection problems when using multiple devices, please try these steps:
Reset the headset to clear temporary bugs without deleting pairing information. Instructions are available at: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm5/v1/en/contents/TP1000541012.html.
If resetting does not resolve the issue, perform a factory reset to restore the headset settings fully. Please note this will erase all pairing data. You can find detailed instructions here: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm5/v1/en/contents/TP1000541013.html.
For battery life concerns, please refer to this article for guidance on optimizing and troubleshooting battery performance: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm5/v1/en/contents/TP1000541091.html?search=battery.
If the issues continue after these steps, we recommend contacting our dedicated support team for further assistance. All contact options and resources are available via the provided link: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones
