Download

You can download compiled versions of the client from the releases page.

Note: If you're getting an error like VCRUNTIME140_1.dll was not found, you need to install the Microsoft VC++ Redistributable.

Motivation

I recently bought the WH-1000-XM3s, and I was annoyed by the fact that I couldn't change their settings while using my PC. So I reverse-engineered the application (for intercompatibility purposes, of course), defined the protocol, and created with an alternative application with Mr-M33533K5.

Features

• Ambient Sound Control
• Disabling noise cancelling
• Display battery life and fetch existing settings from device
• Equalizer
