Posted .Hi HugoH, We are thrilled to hear that you love everything about your WH-1000XM5. Having read your review regarding the low sound level, check the volume on the connected device as well as on the headphones. You may also play different song with different quality to further isolate the issue. High-quality songs will give you louder audio. From there, you can use the Sony sound connect app to adjust the sound to your liking. Make sure to update the firmware of the headphones by performing a software update. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Jess

Worth Every Penny Of Price Difference vs. XM4.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the Sony WH1000XM5 headphones to replace a pair of XM4's that were stolen. The newly designed XM5's are MUCH more sturdy than the XM4's that I constantly worried would break. The touch pad on the XM5 seems to be more responsive and consistent in the way it processes touches. The XM5 also auto connects more consistently, and they seem to hold the connection better. I also considered the Bose QC Ultras, and I ultimately chose the XM5's due to their longer battery life and much better microphone.
