Posted .Hi NicolasC,
Thanks for the 5-star review! We're so happy to hear you're enjoying the magnificent sound quality of the Sony - WH1000XM5. We also appreciate your feedback on the volume; for a more personalized sound, you may want to explore the equalizer settings in the Sony | Headphones Connect app. It allows you to customize the sound profile to your liking, which might help you get a little more out of them.
Thank you for choosing Sony!

Bluetooth connections
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I prefer the XM4s Because you only need an auxiliary cord and can have them turned off to plug into a PC. The XM5s To be used by Bluetooth, which uses battery and has a bit of delay versus using the auxiliary
