Everything works!

I like it the app itself, just needs better graphics.

Lots of features

I just got some new Sony headphones and I’m never looking back because the amount of features and settings that this app allows your headphones to have is incredible.

Terrible company

I regret buying their headphones, the mic was rubbish and we are talking about their flagship headphones at the time. Send them to support under warranty, they came back, no explanation still broken.

Now the PlayStation discs situation…Sony truly one of the worst companies.

Good but some things are annoying

I like how you can adjust the sound to taste, but I dislike that my headphones randomly go on transparency mode when I want to be on ANC. And yes, I have tapped the setting off to make sure it doesn’t happen, yet it still does. I’d rather manually turn it on. Additionally, sometimes, on the left ear cup the mechanics literally just stop working. There’s no response at all, it’s almost like the headphone is dead so I have to turn it off and on. Also, the headphones are still kind of bad at switching from device to device. Even if I switch one on pause on something im listening to listen to smth else on another, it literally just doesn’t switch. Mind you, I’ve only had these for a little over a year (Sony xm6) and and xm5s developed the same problem before they broke (like everyone else’s did). I still love the sound quality and ANC but for the price, I would think these small issues would be fixed and not become a problem only after a year of use. In fact, I had these issues for a few months ago as well so it’s even less than a year.

Great Speakers, Pathetic App

Sony is one of the best and most innovative audio manufacturers—or at least it used to be. Unfortunately, the Sony Sound Connect app is terrible.

I first used it last year with my iPhone 15 Pro Max and the ULT Field 7. After just one day, I returned the speaker. Now I've bought the ULT Field 3. The speaker itself is great, but sadly the app is still just as bad.

The app downloaded the latest firmware, but it won't transfer the update to the speaker because it claims the battery level is too low. The speaker is fully charged (100%) and is connected to the charger, yet the app still refuses to update it.

Sony makes excellent speakers, but the software seriously lets them down.
