How to Pair Your Headphones With Multiple Devices

Follow these steps to optimise your WH-1000XM5 setup.

Step 1: Initial Setup

Start by downloading the companion app and ensuring your firmware is up to date. Firmware updates often include significant ANC improvements.

Step 2: Finding the Right Fit

Adjust the headband so the cups sit centrally over your ears with even pressure. A good fit can improve bass response by up to 6dB.

Step 3: Optimising Sound

For a more balanced sound, reduce bass by 2-3dB and boost the upper mids slightly. aptX Adaptive dynamically adjusts quality based on your connection stability.

Step 4: ANC Customisation

Don't just leave ANC on the default setting. Adaptive mode works well in most situations, but manual control lets you fine-tune.

Pro Tips

• Multipoint connection lets you switch between phone and laptop seamlessly
• Store in the case when not in use to protect the ear pads
