Posted .Hello Junior,
Thank you for your comment! We’re delighted to hear that you’re enjoying the noise-canceling features and sound quality of your WH-1000XM4 headphones. We sincerely apologize for any difficulties you may have encountered with the microphone. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we will utilize it to enhance our products.
To ensure optimal performance, please check if the headphone software is updated, if you haven't done so already. You can find the latest updates here:
https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wh-1000xm4/downloads
Additionally, here are some steps that might assist with the microphone functionality:
- Reconnect the headset to your source device.
- Ensure that HFP or HSP is selected for the audio profile.
- If your app has microphone sensitivity settings, please check and adjust those as needed.
If the issue continues, we recommend testing the headphones with different audio devices to help identify the problem.
Please note that the Sidetone function allows you to hear your voice through the headset’s microphone. This means you may also hear ambient sounds or the headset's operational sounds, which is normal and not a malfunction.

Great for noise canceling but a little heavy.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these for my husband as a gift and he really liked them, he loves the noise canceling function and the speaker to use when answering calls. The only thing he would change would be the weight, he says they feel a little heavy when he uses them.

Personal Experience after <30 days of usage.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.THIS IS BASED ON MY POINT OF VIEW AND THE LITTLE RESEARCH I DID ON THIS HEAD SET. For the price I was expecting a better microphone quality, but it seems to not do a very good job. At least that was my experience: Sound: - For meetings it was perfect, I was able to hear everyone with no problems - Music just sounds like you are expecting it to sound, clear and on point Microphone: - If you are vacuuming or doing some activity that brings noise, you still can a conversation with someone else as the noise doesn't make it thru. - IF YOU ARE ON THE STREET WALKING WHILE CARS ARE MOVING 50+ MPH then ambiance sounds comes thru the microphone and interrupts the conversation. Im constantly on the phone and this doesnt help to isolate your voice with the ambiance. For sound works great, for communication when there is background noise going on... not so much.
