Posted .Hi TinaB, We're glad that you like the noise canceling function of your new headphones. We're also sorry to hear that you're having issues when using the headphones with Microsoft teams. To use your headphones for video calls on your computer, you need to make sure that the Speaker and Microphone settings are set correctly. Otherwise, the voice of the other party may not be heard or the other party may not hear you.
Before we walk you through the settings, it's important that you know the different types of Bluetooth® profiles and what they are used for. Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) is intended to playback music. The Hands-free Profile (HFP) and Headset Profile (HSP) are intended for voice calls.
Depending on the video calling app, the voice call may not be available when connected using the A2DP profile, so make sure to select the HFP/HSP profile when you want to use the headphones for video calls.
For more details, please check our support website and look for "How to use Bluetooth headphones for video calls on a computer" article.
I hope this helps but if you still need assistance, do not hesitate to drop us an email at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

Underwhelming at any price.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros: app works well, look nice, light weight. Cons: audio quality is nowhere near what I was expecting. These sound only ok. No air to sound. Sounds flat, just not impressive at all. Audio quality over BT from Android playing very high quality source is muddy. Play same song over aux, night and day difference. That said, if you don't mind a cord, then there are way better headphones out there. What really broke the deal for me was the heat. You can't ware them more then a few minutes before you feel like you have your head in a plastic Safeway bag. I mean you just gotten take them off to let the heat out and get some air. Idk just really not my thing.
