Not as bad as ratings suggest

With a 1000XM2, I’ve had no big problems with the app. The interface is nice looking and easy to navigate, and I’ve encountered no crashing or bugs with the interface when it connects to my headphones.
However, I do have problems with the app failing to connect with my headphones all the time; sometimes it freezes on the connect screen, but restarting the app solves it 99% of the time. Although one time it didn’t connect even after a restart, turning the headphones off/on did solve this.
A problem I have with the app is that it has to connect every time you go go back to it, which is a 5 second process that is frustrating to sit through when you’re constantly going back to the app to adjust an EQ. This is slightly more frustrating when it not-uncommonly freezes on the connect screen and I have to restart the app. It would be great if the app stayed connected in the background for just a minute after you switch away from it.
The EQ function of the app is wonderful, but you are limited to six frequency sliders to adjust. If an update were to add more frequency sliders (maybe up to ten instead of six), it would make this app perfect.

Amazing Headphones

The Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones are a top-tier experience in every sense. Listening to The Tembo Sounds - The Culture radio show’s sound quality is nothing short of fantastic, with brilliantly tuned acoustics that allow every element of the music to shine. Whether it’s the crisp highs, rich mids, or deep bass, these headphones bring out the nuances of every instrument in the arrangement, making listening a truly immersive experience.

Beyond the audio quality, the headphones are incredibly comfortable, ideal for long travel days or simply unwinding at home while watching a movie. The plush ear cups provide a snug, yet gentle fit, and the lightweight design ensures they can be worn for hours without discomfort. The noise-cancellation feature further enhances the listening experience, blocking out external distractions and allowing for complete focus on your audio or film.

All in all, the Sony WH-1000XM4 is a premium product that delivers both in sound and comfort, making it a perfect choice for anyone looking for high-quality headphones for both everyday use and long-term wear.

Which bluetooth device?

I have had my Sony headphones for awhile. They were as easy to connect via bluetooth as any other device. But lately, it has gotten harder and much worse. What has changed? The number of devices around our house that use bluetooth. The app is completely useless because while settings shows the headphones are connected, the app does not say to WHICH bluetooth device. Is it the speakers? Is it the treadmill? Is it my iPad? Even from a room farthest away, doors closed to rooms with bluetooth devices, the headphones connect to something, just not my iPhone two inches away. While I credit the strength of connecting to an unknown bluetooth farther away than the one in front of it, or even to the last bluetooth connected a day or so ago; it is annoying and frustrating not to know which device(s) I should turn off just so I can use the headphones. Turning off every single bluetooth except for my iPhone is not practical. While the headphones work great, Sony did not include in the accompanying app, a means for me to know with WHAT bluetooth device the headphones are connected. I don’t have time to run around the house turning off bluetooth devices. I need to look for headphones or an app that stops this digital whackamole and still gives me quality sound or noise cancellation from my headphones.
