Hi headphones, we're glad you like our newest industry-leading noise canceling headphones. Intelligent and intuitive, the WH-1000XM4 headphones offer further improvements to our industry-leading noise cancelation, exceptional sound quality, and smart listening that adjusts to your behavior and your location.

Hello WJGambino,
While we are happy that you appreciate the sound quality of our WH1000XM4, we regret to hear that the noise canceling capability is not sufficient. This is usually not the case with our XM4 nor the experience we want you to have. Please allow us to troubleshoot this issue and turn your experience into a better one. Usually, for noise canceling not to work properly, it is because the headset is not worn properly or the settings are not set correctly. Here are some steps on how to make it work correctly.

- Make sure that the noise canceling function is turned on.
- Adjust the headset into a comfortable position.
- The noise canceling function is effective in low frequency ranges such as airplanes, trains, offices, near air-conditioning, and is not as effective for higher frequencies, such as human voices.
- Check that the Adaptive Sound Control is turned off.
- Check the setting of the Adaptive Sound Control on the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app. When the Adaptive Sound Control is turned on, the noise canceling function may become insufficient.
- With the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app, check the setting of [Ambient Sound Control]. If it is set to [Wind Noise Reduction] or [Ambient Sound], the effect of noise canceling is reduced. Set it to the noise canceling mode.
- Disable Speak-to-Chat, and check whether the situation has improved.
- Check with the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app whether the function of the CUSTOM button is set to [Ambient Sound Control].
