They are options you can adjust to fit your needs. I work in a super loud steel mil. I have these on 24/7 and it performs better then my hearing protection at work. I have mine programed when I talk it turns ambient noise on while still providing protection. After 15 seconds or so it switches to noise canceling. I pray this helps just go to settings on the phone app until you fine tone it to your lifestyle.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have a treadmill that displays interactive videos. I turn on the 'focus on voice' mode while I listen to music at lower volume and it does a great job of blocking other noise (fans and treadmill) and piping through the voice of the trainer when I turn 'focus on voice' on. You can adjust the level of ambient sound to your liking too.

This function seems to be similar to the Ambient Sound mode feature of our WF-1000XM4. If you are referring to this feature, then yes, these headphones will provide you an exceptional Ambient Sound listening experience. The WF-1000XM4 features Ambient Sound mode that captures more of the sound around you than ever before, which means you get a more natural listening experience and stay connected to your environment. Simply tap the touch sensor on the left unit to change the settings of the noise canceling function of our WF1000XM4. Each time you tap, the function switches as follows. • Ambient Sound Mode: ON - You will hear the voice guidance say, “Ambient sound”. • Noise canceling function: ON - You will hear the voice guidance say, “Noise canceling”. Note: You can also turn on/off the noise canceling function and change/adjust the settings of the noise canceling function and Ambient Sound Mode in the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app. Additional information: Another useful function that these headphones feature is the Speak-to-Chat, if Speak-to-Chat is enabled in advance, the Speak-to-Chat mode starts automatically when you talk to someone. The headset pauses or mutes the music being played and captures the voice of the person you are conversing with on the microphones to make it easier to hear. When the headset does not detect the wearer’s voice for a certain period of time, the Speak-to-Chat mode ends automatically.
