Sony | Headphones Connec‪t‬ 4+

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!

Firstly, these headphones are a bit larger than the Sennheiser ones.
However, the sound quality is excellent. Whilst I love bass orientated music, you can alter the sound to suit your tastes.
Where these headphones truly blast away the competition is with the app.
Excellently thought out with features that are actually useful.
Because of this, these are my daily headphones. I have the Sennheiser earbuds which whilst smaller and with excellent sound are severely hampered by the abysmally poor supporting app which renders the earbuds frustratingly fiddly to use, so I use the Sony’s instead.

Had my Bose QC35 stolen so went for a change and replaced with these. I think noise cancelling on aircraft is slightly better, sound quality similar and very good and controls good once you get used to them. Issue is with this app; connectivity can be a pain. Sometimes I want to change from iPad (movies)to music on my iPhone. When I go to the app to change to the different device it asks me to agree to terms others complain about. Great but it needs an internet connection to do that, difficult 10,000 meters over the Atlantic. It’s asked me several times to agree, maybe it will realise I’ve done that eventually. This is a real pain and needs to be sorted, either stop taking the data that requires you to put a release in front of us every time we connect or work out another get around. Overall connectivity to a device is also much harder than for Bose.
