Sony - what have you done? the WH-1000XM3s that I bought (running firmware v4.1.0) are no longer class leading noise cancelling headphones.
V4.1.1 and now v5.0.0 have destroyed the noise cancelling performance - this is so disappointing.
For anyone else with this problem, I have found a v4.1.0 apk download..... I have just installed and will check later when I am travelling on the train again (known reference for noise cancelling performance):
On Android:
- Uninstall Sony v4.1.1 (or later) app
- Download 4.1.0 apk file from -
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/sony-video-sound-products-inc/sony-headphones-connect/sony-headphones-... - Install apk file (you will likely be prompted and need to allow the android security option to install a third party apk)
- Disable automatic applications updates in Android playstore (to ensure the Sony app does not automatically update again to the latest version).
I really hope this fix works and that Sony fix V5.x.x very swiftly, or I will likely be heading back to where I bought them to exchange XM3s for QC35ii - it was a close call on which was best before 4.1.1 , but its not any more.
