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
