Thank you! Have these headphones and am a premium subscriber to Deezer for years but they only have select songs you can play with 360 audio, didn't realize you could with Deezer as that service provider isn't listed when you buy these. My favorite custom equalizer setting is the regular vocal boost but 6k at 0db with bass at +10, makes everything clearer, pop a bit more with treble and has deeper bass as well as more room to play for higher volume control. I worked on my equalizer settings for hours as songwriting is my profession. Thank you again!
Great video! Absolutely love my XM4s, and here are my EQ settings in case anyone finds it helpful. Personally for me they are perfect for maximum clarity, and imo they perform very well for a wide variety of genres: I took the “Bright” preset, and then tweaked it a little bit. I changed the 16 kHz bar to 10 (max), and increased my clear bass to 2. This brings way more clarity and is imo a great setting that works for many different genres (EDM, pop, rap, rock, metal, classical etc.). This is great for me personally, because I listen to tons of different genres (as listed above), and I don’t want to change my settings every time I switch from genre lol
Armin00 Thanks for this advice. I did the same on my XM3 and settled in 16kHz bar set at 10 (max) and clear bass to 0. Not sure about the XM4 but I find the XM3 has plenty of bass at the 0 setting and I get a nice clean sound with plenty of bass at this EQ setting. Thanks again for this custom setting!!
I am nearly the same as you except I switched the 1k from 5 to 0. It sounded a bit weird having this raised. Now they sound awesome, really clear treble with punchy bass but no overblown mids. A good tip is to use Custom 1 as your go to and use Custom 2 for experimenting, do one change at a time, then easily switch between them to compare. So I'm 0 - 0 - 7 - 7 - 9 with bass at +1
I can't believe I make this to the end. Job well done! Long time ago before you actually started this channel. I'd watched your video about how much passion you had and how difficult it is making videos with almost no support or resources. I feel really proud to be one of your first viewers!
@@aaronloudnwireless The way of telling your story has so much improved. You're now be able to tell a 20 minute product description /story to people even not owning the product and watch it to the end! And I'm not the only one impressed by this. Not easy.
I have just got these today, i am hoping with adjusting the settings, that these will be perfect. I juat hope they are comfortable after a whole of wearing them
If Speak-To-Chat is active and you want to force resuming to the music simply double tap on the touch sensor. I also noticed that pairing to other devices (wether you use multi point pairing or not) is only possible when it is activated. I wish they could realize that we can freely choose which functions are activated by single, double, triple or long pressing the custom button. That would be the best! Maybe they could add Speak-To-Chat to the WF-1000XM3?
I’ve found myself purchasing XM4 and feel the XM3 ’s deserve ( Legend status ) ie a day each year to celebrate said headphones. Gone but should never be forgotten
Thanks buddy! I just wanted to let you know your English is excellent! Again, thank you for the tutorial. These headphones are the best in their price range along with the “higher tier” apple sound canceling over ear headphones. Jam on!
Great video, I have my headphones for a year now and never invested time in optimizing the settings. I have learnt a lot, thank you for the informative video!
I came for the function on where to change the voice but I guess that's not possible - I thought maybe I can change it to a male voice... not the biggest fan of the womans voice
I’ve watched a couple of your videos on the M4’s. Really nice coverage. I purchased them and looking forward to experiencing them. We have several acres that I mow a couple times a week so these should be a Godsend for my music and podcast listening. I was a little apprehensive about getting caught in rain but I will just need to be careful and keep my eyes to the sky. I’m actually surprised no one has made covers or sleeves to provide a little protection coverage for the various ports. Thanks again. I’ve liked and subscribed.
Activate LDAC on XM4 without enabling developer options: (Android only) 1. Connect headphones 2. Go to Settings app -> Bluetooth 3. Tap the gear next to the XM4 4. Enable high quality audio
I was going to upgrade from my xm3's but one of my favorite features has been removed (Surround (VPT)) if they add this back I will surely upgrade but removing that feature was a deal breaker for me even though they added all of the upgrades I wanted but that great surround sound overrides those well needed upgrades for me.
Excellent video. I just purchased my first headphones (M4)today so I had no history of knowing the settings which I should have. This has saved me hours of fumbling.
Aaron, thank you so much for creating this instructional video. I just purchased my XM4's and was pretty lost until your vid!!!! All the Best! Keep creating!!
Hi Aron, Without your tutorial I would have never been able to fully utilize Sony’s xm4s, Thank you. Please also demonstrate using the headphones with the iPhone. Mahalo
Finally, a clear explanation of the menu choices including recommendations. The user manual Sony forgot for this great headphone and control app. Thanks!!
I like the undocumented nice feature - put three fingers together on right ear cup for about 2-3 seconds and that (de)activate Free-to-chat feature. Even if headphones are connected to computer (w/o the Sony Headphone app)
@@aaronloudnwireless damnn sorry but not 😦 today I've try to connect XM4 to laptop win10. There is a 2 ways, and you can connect then but not as audio hardware, so you cant use it. 1h later i figurę out... But its sux too 😋
1. metod 1 - when BT is on and XM4 is visible by phone, you can parring it too to computer - but... it wont be rocognised as audio device! 2. metod 2 - turn off XM4, then long press power and 5-6 sec and then try to pair to laptop - then all is working properly, it will be visible as audio device and also as headphone with mic.
Most of the time, I keep the Adaptive Noise Canceling off. However, when I turn Adaptive Noise Canceling on, I usually leave the "Automatic Switching Based on Action" off and instead use the "Automatic Switching Based on Location"
Hi Aaron and thank you for all the wonderful work. Did you notice that valum control (up/down) is slower in 4 than 3? I have both and I like better the 3 as the valum bar goes up and down faster. Thank you
I thanks fur video didn't realise was fill noise cancelling already. When I first put on made my TV and fan sound more quite I thought grate not even powerd on yet. Then when did power on the mouse cancelling was same. But only now when not powered on not blocking like before. When you first buy if the blu light flashing was they alresdy on maybe
I just got the headset today and was a little overwhelmed by the settings. I thought I knew how to set them, but this REALLY helped a LOT. Now, I need to watch it again when I actually have them turned on. Love, your fast-paced, just the facts approach. EXCELLENT video and I have subscribed :)

What happened to the “arena” “outdoor stage” “club” sound profiles in EQ on the Sony Headphones app? That option was so fun
Thanks bro.. I unlocked a new world on these headphones after this video 🤟🏽
Fantastic video for new XM4 owners. Thankfully, I found this video shortly after receiving my headphones! Keep up the great work!
have u used it for conference call? recommended?
Watching this with my AirPods on, I’ll have to rewatch with the XM4’s on 🤣
I got these headphones a few days now and keep coming back to this video! THANK YOU!!
Nice. I have watched endless reviews of these headphones and had no idea about the location stuff.
Whoo in depth, I’m gonna have to watch this again when I actually have the headphones 😅

I need that feature if I’m going to upgrade, the WH-1000XM3s are the best headphones I’ve owned. That Surround VPT was a dealbreaker…
A 'must watch' for any new owner. Excellent!

Is it normal that, when no music is playing, I can still ear voices pretty clearly when the noise canceling is on ?
Yeah the nc didnt relly great with speaking voice and its normal

I held off getting the Sony's for years to due to the lack of multipoint pairing.
When they finally have it, the function disables LDAC. Dammit!
Back in time when they were designing LDAC they didn't thought of multipairing. Now they have a problem 😂
Wait so what does disabling Ldac do? Does it lower sound quality when multipaired?
@@CoasterCoat LDAC is technically the superior Bluetooth codec and multi-pairing disables it. But I don't know if you can hear the difference.
Aaron mentioned that this issue is only for Android. So i guess Iphone should be fine.
@@PiyushBajaj Apple has their own AAC codec. They don't use aptX HD or LDAC at all.
The best thing about this headphones is ambient touch sensor and Alexa ! So much fun
