Hi MarkT,

We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing frequent pairing issues and audio dropouts while using your WH-1000XM5 headphones with your iMac. We understand how disruptive this is to your listening experience, and we would like to help you stabilize the connection.

To improve the Bluetooth performance between your headphones and your Mac, we recommend the following adjustments:

1- Update Firmware: Open the Sony | Sound Connect app on your mobile device and ensure your headphones are updated to the latest software version. These updates often include stability patches for desktop connectivity.

2- Prioritize Stable Connection: Within the Sound Connect app, go to the "Sound" tab and change the Bluetooth Connection Quality setting to "Priority on Stable Connection." This adjusts the bitrate to favor a consistent signal over high-resolution audio, which typically resolves the problem.

3- Manage iMac Resources: High CPU usage or multiple open applications on a Mac can sometimes interfere with Bluetooth processing. We recommend closing any unnecessary apps or browser tabs that you aren't currently using to free up system resources.

If these steps do not resolve the constant pairing requests and dropouts, we want to ensure your unit is performing correctly. Please reach out to our technical support team for further diagnostics:
