Customer Ratings & Reviews

Hi Jane, Thank you for choosing Sony. 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. If you feel like the noise canceling is not sufficient, please try these steps to troubleshoot.

-Make sure 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.
-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].
-Because the noise canceling performance is automatically optimized by the Auto NC Optimizer function according to changes in the wearing condition and usage environment, you may notice fluctuations in the noise canceling effect.

Hi Sonyxm4,
We're sorry to hear the issues that you are experiencing with the XM4 headphones. This is definitely not the experience we want you to have. May we know if you still have the unit? If so, we'd like to help troubleshoot and resolved the problem. Please try some solutions on these links below to resolved issues with the headphones:

Multipoint connection works with only two devices at a time. A third device can be connected through Bluetooth, however, the Bluetooth connection with the last device that played music will stay connected and the second device will be disconnected in order for the third device to establish the Bluetooth connection with the headphones.

How to use multipoint connection through phone and a computer: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wh-1000xm4/articles/00249936

To prevent the unit from falling, adjusting the headband and the earpads properly can help for a firmer hold and better noise canceling experience. These headphones also are not designed for sports.

Hi SonyMX4,

We regret to hear that you're not having the best experience because of connectivity issues. The range of the Bluetooth connection is approximately 30 feet (10 meters). However, the maximum communication range will vary depending on obstacles (person, metal, wall, etc.) or electromagnetic environment. Make sure to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance.
