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.

Good noise canceling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise canceling is better than my Bose headphones. They only thing I don't like about them is they kept beeping on me during my flight. The ambiance sound kept turning off and on and would beep every time. Very frustrating! If I could return them I would but it is past the return period.

Posted .Hi Tsmith,
We're glad that you like the noise canceling function of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you are not having the best experience with the ambient sound function. Make sure to turn off the adaptive ambient sound control function on the Sony Headphones Connect app. You may find this link helpful:
