The update announced by Sony for the WF-1000XM4 in-ear headphones has arrived. This means that the Bluetooth connection can finally be maintained to several devices at the same time.
The major Bluetooth update is now also available for the Sony WF-1000XM4. In October last year the manufacturer announced the update for several headphones. Until then, the practical Bluetooth Multipoint was missing from the WF-1000XM4, while many competitor headphones have long had the function.
Multipoint allows you to maintain the Bluetooth connection to multiple devices at the same time. So if you get a Teams call on your laptop, you can continue listening to music on your mobile right after the call. You no longer have to switch the connection manually, as both devices are connected at the same time and recognise when it's their turn to play.
The WF-1000XM4 has been on the market since 2021 and is currently one of the most popular in-ear models.
To use Multipoint, you need to download the 2.0.0 update in the Sony Headphones Connect app here for Android or there for iOS. According to Sony, it is compatible with Android, iOS, Windows and Mac devices.

Testing devices and gadgets is my thing. Some experiments lead to interesting insights, others to demolished phones. I’m hooked on series and can’t imagine life without Netflix. In summer, you’ll find me soaking up the sun by the lake or at a music festival.
