Setting up your XM5 is a pretty straightforward process after downloading the app. Available on both iOS and Android, head over to your app store and download the "Headphones Connect" application by Sony. The app will guide you through the rest of the steps:
1) Download the "Headphones Connect" app by Sony.
2) On the Welcome screen, check the box before clicking the "Start" button.
3) Next, make sure the headphones are powered on and click "Next."
4) Wait for the spinning wheel to find your headphone - if for some reason the headphone does not show up or get detected, you can always turn off the device and repeat steps 2-3. Otherwise feel free to register the headphone through your device's Bluetooth settings or from the list.
5) Once the app detects your XM5, you'll see it pop up at the top of the screen. Simply tap the image to proceed.
6) The next screen will display a prompt. Click next to continue.
7) The name of your headphone should pop up: "WH-1000XM5." Tap on this to select the headphone.
8) The following screen will show that your headphones have registered. Click "OK" to continue.
9) Setup is now complete and you can click "Go to the dashboard" to finish.
10) Welcome to the dashboard!
*Note: There will be a lot of pop up screens in between these steps to set up, so continue the setup according to your personal preferences. Steps 1-10 are the necessary steps to configure the XM5 headphones to your device.
