Question 1

Is the headband crack issue resolved?

Accepted Answer

How could you trust Sony to fix this issue?

Sony's MDRX950BTs had the cracked headband issue too (2 months after purchase), and also refused to cover it under warranty for those headphones.

Sony has trashed their brand by not controlling their support and warranty experience.

Why would a consumer buy a $300 item to have it break within months and then be told it's not covered under warranty? There is absolutely no trust left for Sony in the headphone market. They have a terrible reputation, because they have provided parasitic level, negative value to their customers.

What Sony has done with their headphone business in the past few years is unforgivable. They don't have a clue when it comes to CX, support, or brand control in their distribution channels.

I can't wait for a headphone start up to blow these guys out of the sea of Japan.

Question 2

Can this do multiple device pairing?

Accepted Answer

Hi! I was able to connect The XM3 Headphones to my PC (windows 10) for music and my iphone 11 for calls simultaneously. When a call came in, music stopped and the headphones switched to the call. Unfortunately, it only worked for 5 minutes. When i downloaded the sony app it stopped working. I have tried everithing, disconecting one or the other, then connecting again, reseting the headphones to factory sertings, limiting device input connection to music only in my windows 10 PC. But no luck. The multi device conection is very important to me i may have to return them....
Anyone has been able to connect simultaneausly to pc windows 10 and iphone? Even is the connection is music onle and calls only respectively?
