Sony | Headphones Connect 4+

Headphones have a Bluetooth LE connection, why can’t this be used in conjunction with the app for configuring the headphones when another source is connected via Bluetooth or cable?

Also, privacy policy should make clearer what is collected and what it is used for. The app is for expensive headphones whose features cannot all be accessed without an app which cannot be used until consent is given to an overly vague policy.

Also, the application would be considerably more useful if it provided 3D Touch quick actions from the icon on the home screen. For example the ability to switch between ambient noise, wind noise reduction and noise cancelling modes from the home screen without actually opening the app.

I bought myself a set of WI-SP600N earphones and using this app to set everything up was intuitive. All the settings are easy to locate and work mostly well.

The main issue I have right now is that I am actually contemplating sending my earphones back not because of the quality or anything. They’re almost everything I want except for how the light on my earphones keep flashing blue once every 5 seconds to indicate that they are connected to my phone. This very annoying and especially when I’m in bed at night in the dark. The flashing illuminates my whole room and it bothers me both when I close my eyes or when I’m trying to watch a TV show/movie. I wish there were a way for me to switch this unnecessary ongoing flashing in the app or something. For now I am going to consider replacing these with something else which I don’t really want to do as I have only ever owned Sony audio products, but it might be the only way for me to avoid this irritating flashing.

This app allows you to configure wireless and noise cancelling headphones in the Sony product portfolio. It is versatile and provides excellent headphone personalisation. I am not aware of anything similar from the headphone competition.
Equaliser: This is the feature I like most. My WH-1000XM2 headphones arrived with a ”default” sound signature. For my ears, they had too much bass and the mid-range vocals were lacking. Using the app equaliser, I managed to optimize these ”deficiencies” and now have the best sounding cans I’ve ever owned. Incredibly clean & detailed mids & treble, plus just enough low end thump (10Hz) to warm up the overall sound without veiling the aforementioned detail.
Why not 5 Stars? There is an annoying uncontrollable ”increasing volume” bug when listening without noise cancelling. I’ve submitted 3 reports to Sony via Apple with lots of information and nothing has improved. Come on Sony!
