Sony WH-1000XM3 too much bass.

    So I got a Sony WH-1000XM3 from Amazon for bluetooth TV use at night, and for my taste it has too much bass. Movie dialogue gets lost behind the music, vocal or guitar in concerts take a back seat in favour of bass and drums. Yep, I know you can set up a Sony EQ on phone or tablet, but not so much coming from my TV. The cans are well like for EDM, Hiphop and such, I'd prefer a flatter response out of the box. Noise cancelling is nice, of course, bluetooth essential. I still have a window to return the purchase.

    Thoughts?

    Oh, I should have added over ear rather than on ear, preferable nice big pads, unlike some, I imagine not all, of the Sennheisers.

    If you want them solely for use with a TV, I would highly recommend dedicated RF headphones rather than bluetooth, for example these ones from Sennheiser, RS175 - https://en-ie.sennheiser.com/rs-175. They have some other options too like the more expensive RS195 or in ears - see https://en-ie.sennheiser.com/wireless-tv-headphones

    The base station hard wires to your source, then the headphones connect wirelessly to the base via a dedicated RF signal, vastly superior latency compared to bluetooth. Plus no messing around with pairing etc. Obviously these are not portable at all, but different level for TV compared to bluetooth imo.

    Yes, I know about the RF system, possibly pioneered by Bose? However, I'm looking to link to my iPhone and Android tablet and a hard wire input too. Bluetooth codecs are a bit of a minefield, the goalposts keep changing, and metaphors keep mixing themselves.

    It could be the settings on your TV need adjusting?

    I've been through the LG TV settings, and did not find any EQ to adjust. Some cans can remember the EQ you set with the app, no the Sonys, it appears.
