Posted .Hi Zoewgs,
Thank you for your time writing this review! While we are glad you like your WH1000XM5 noise canceling headphones, we're sorry to hear that you are having issues when connected to your iPhone. Let's work together and resolved the issue.
Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
Ensure that the headphones software is updated as it includes key features, applications, bug fixes, and feature improvements.
Set the headset to “Priority on stable connection”.
Remove any obstacles between the iPhone and headphones.
If you are enjoying music with your smartphone, the situation may be improved by closing unnecessary apps or restarting your smartphone. If you are enjoying music with your computer, close unnecessary applications or windows and restart the computer.
Connect the headset and the Bluetooth device once again.
Turning off [Service Link] on the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app may reduce the amount of audio dropout.
