Hi stanley,

We're sorry if the noise canceling feature of our WH-1000xM4 didn't live up to your expectations. This is definitely not the news that we would like to hear. Please allow us to help you and turn this into a better experience. If you haven't tried yet, please follow the troubleshooting steps below to isolate the problem:

• Make sure that the noise cancelling 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.
• When the Adaptive Sound Control on the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app is turned on, the wearer's actions, like walking or running, are detected. The noise canceling function is automatically adjusted and the Ambient Sound Mode may be activated according to these actions. To make the most of the noise canceling function, turn off the Adaptive Sound Control, and try to turn on the noise canceling function manually when you need it.
• With the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app, check the setting of [Ambient Sound Control]. If it is set to [Ambient Sound], the effect of noise canceling is reduced. Set it to the noise canceling mode.
• Check with the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app whether the function of the NC/AMB button is set to [Ambient Sound Control].

If the issue persists, please refer to the following article:

Hi JosephB,

Thank you for bringing your connection issue to our attention and sharing your honest feedback. We understand how disappointing it is when you can’t easily connect your WH-1000XM4 headphones using the Sony | Headphones Connect app, and we sincerely apologize for the frustration.

We want to help you restore the smooth connection you expect. Please follow these two steps, which are highly effective for resetting the connection:

1. Completely uninstall the Sony | Headphones Connect app from your device, then restart your phone/tablet. Re-download and reinstall the app from the official app store. This clears old cached data and ensures a fresh setup.,

2. Reset the headset: While the headset is connected to a charging cable, press and hold both the (power) button and the CUSTOM button (or NC/Ambient button) simultaneously for about 7-10 seconds.

After performing these steps, try connecting your headphones with the app again.

If the connection is still not performing correctly, we strongly encourage you to contact our dedicated technical support team. We can walk you through further diagnostics, and provide personalized assistance to get you connected.
