    headphones noise cancelling

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The noise cancelling fluctuates on and off about every 30 to 60 seconds while mowing the lawn. Not what I was hoping for in the noise canceling department. When it is on it is really effective but then I get a blast of noise when it turns off, which is very annoying.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
    • Brand response from SonyListens
      Posted .

      Hi WilliamR,

      That's frustrating to deal with, and we apologize for the interruption!

      The fluctuating noise canceling is almost certainly caused by the Adaptive Sound Control feature. When the headphones detect the consistent motion and loud sound of mowing, the feature is trying to automatically adjust the ANC or switch to Ambient Sound, which creates that annoying cycling effect.

      To fix this:

      Open the Sony | Headphones Connect App.

      On the Sound tab, turn "Adaptive Sound Control" OFF.

      This should lock the noise canceling on and give you the consistent performance you need.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Best regards,
      Eliab sony-global

    Broke slightly after a year. Now emit a high pitched squeaking noise. My older Bose QC35 that I bought in 2017 are still working... might have just been bad luck but I doubt I'll ever try another pair. I did enjoy them before they quit working and the hand gestures on the side as well as the bass made it stand out.
