Sony Headphone App Mac

Connects my Mac Mini headphone out to external speakers.

By far the xm3 is the best headphone I had. It reproduces truly beautiful sounds. It's a must have from Sony!

I use this as a backup for my Mac using the Mac app Time Machine. It backup by itself (once plugged in) - I don't have to tell it to do so!

initially used this headphone in a Sony Store, was blown away by the quality and have not found anything better so bought myself one.

To begin, the initial setup is simple and straightforward using the app. I was listening to my music and podcasts in less that a minute from unboxing. The intuitive menu on the app makes it easy to customize the EQ, source, and other functions. I enjoy the bass kick it gives. I feel like the immersive option can be improved as there is not much of a difference between the stereo and the immersive function. The headphone also kept disconnecting from my laptop Bluetooth connection. Overall, this headphone is a much more improved product compared to my previous Bose NC700 headphones.

My mom uses computer speakers connected to the headphone jack on her Mac Mini. The jack failed (evidently this isn't uncommon). As an inexpensive workaround, I picked up this USB audio adapter, and it worked like a charm. Even plugged into a USB hub, it stays recognized and selected in the Sound System Preferences pane even after rebooting and waking from sleep.

The headphone jack on the Mac Pro 2019 is actually a combo jack. This adapter lets you connect both a microphone and headphones into that one jack. Works great.

I was looking to send audio from the 3.5mm headphone jack on my Mac to the 3.5mm mic jack on my cell phone, because I had a professionally recorded voicemail message I wanted to use but my service provider only allowed live recorded messages. (I wasnt just going to hold my phone up to the speaker on my Mac, because it would ruin the quality.) I had a male-to-male 3.5mm cable I tried to use, with no luck. I was confused as to why it didnt work. I couldnt figure out how to do it and went to a few nearby stores looking for advice, but every sales person just looked at me with a confused look and had no idea how to help. Luckily I noticed B&H was around the corner from a job interview I had. Ive always wanted to go there, just never got around to it until that day, and boy am I glad I did. I spoke to a gentleman in the Pro Audio Dept and after about 10-15 minutes of carefully listening to my needs, and taking the time to understand what I wanted/needed he informed me I needed an attenuating cable because the voltage coming out of the headphone jack would have destroyed the mic jack on my phone. I was finally on my way, but then just as I was about the thank him for his help he exclaimed WAIT!! and informed me that the two jacks were configured differently, (the headphone jack was TRS, and the mic was TRRS) and I would have no luck with just the attenuating cable so he pulled up this item on his screen explained it would convert the connector to what I needed and sent the whole order to pick up. I purchased and picked up the two cables and excitedly went home to test out the items. They worked!!! tl;dr This item was exactly what I needed, and it did its job perfectly.

In a pinch I bought this for some voiceover work, I use a Mac and Soundtrack Pro. The onboard headphone jack provides realtime sound - no compliants, a solid well built microphone for the money.

I guess this will come to no shock to anyone but Sony has done it again. I can't tell you how blowed away I am over all that they have changed to make this headphone better than anything on the market. Making these headphone lighter and adding that new chipset that made the N/C and sound better was the end to all debates about who was truly the best in the world for N/c headphones. The previous one caused me a lot of Migraines and dizziness because of it's clamping and overall weight but these are unlike anything I could have hope for. Thank you so much Sony for making the most complete and best N/C headphone in the world. The bass is the thumping without interfering with the highs and mids. The soundstage is the best I've heard for closed back headphones. I have been listening all sorts of headphones and earphones and these headphones have created the most detailed of all of them. I also love the call quality this time around vs the previous model. Finally I can talk on the phone without the other person complaining about the clarity. They even made Google assistant almost instant.
