Hello MoisesA,
Thank you for sharing your honest opinion regarding adaptive feature of our Sony - WH1000XM4 Wireless Noise-Cancelling Over-the-Ear Headphones. While we are happy that you like the headphone, we're sorry to hear that the adaptive feature is not enough for its price. Your opinion matters to us and it will help us improve our future products. Please allow us to help and make this experience to a better on.

Make sure to update the software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance. 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.

These steps may also help improve your experience with the noise canceling function:


-Make sure that the noise canceling function is turned on.

-Adjust the headset into a comfortable position.

-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].

Hi Kirby717,

Thank you for the review. It is unfortunate that the unit had to be returned. We recommend adjusting the length of the headband. Put the headset on your head with the (left) mark on your left ear and the (right) mark on your right ear. There is a tactile dot on the (left) mark side.

Regards,
David

Hi Paikasoa,



We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you are not having a complete experience because of connectivity issues. For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headphones is updated (via the Sony Headphones Connect app). Please refer to the troubleshooting steps on this link to help resolve the issue:



https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wh-1000xm4/articles/00097458



Here are the steps to reset and initialize the headphones:



Resetting the headset

-Press both the (power) button and the CUSTOM button simultaneously while charging. The headset will be reset. The device registration (pairing) information is not deleted. If the headset does not operate correctly even after resetting, initialize the headset to restore factory settings.



Initializing the headset to restore factory settings:

-Turn off the headset while the USB Type-C cable is disconnected and then press and hold the (power) button and the CUSTOM button simultaneously for 7 seconds or more. The indicator (blue) flashes 4 times, and the headset is initialized. This operation resets volume settings, etc. to the factory settings, and deletes all pairing information. In this case, delete the pairing information for the headset from the device and then pair them again.



If still not resolved or you need further assistance, please email the below information to socialsupport@am.sony.com.
