Open Sound Connect – Control Sony Headphones from Your Mac
opensoundconnect.app3 points0 comments
Open Sound Connect is a Mac utility for controlling Sony’s 1000X headphones without using a phone or Sony account. It supports the MDR-1000X, WH-1000XM2 through XM6, and WH-1000XX, showing controls tailored to each model. Users can adjust noise cancellation and ambient sound, equalizers and saved curves, and features such as DSEE, Speak-to-Chat, voice guidance, and wearing controls where available. A menu-bar panel, keyboard shortcuts, connection status, battery level, and an activity log make common controls accessible from the desktop. The app offers 20 ambient-sound levels and 18 languages.
Settings can be saved as scenes and applied manually or automatically when headphones connect, at scheduled times, or when a chosen app opens. The app reconnects to headphones, can launch at login, and requires macOS 15 or later on either Apple silicon or Intel Macs. Scenes, curves, headphone data, and listening history remain on the Mac; the App Store edition is described as making no network requests. Direct downloads contact a licensing provider for activation and check GitHub for updates. A $9.99 license covers up to two active installations, while an App Store version is forthcoming. The software is open source under the MIT License and is independent of Sony.
