too real man
@skypjuh So empty that you can't even write your own comment and had to copy it from a video (ruclips.net/video/9qdstiAH-XY/видео.html&ab_channel=DHRME) to look cool in front of strangers. Hats off.
@@akshayrana9351 projecting much lol
I would point the fact that my comment is older than the one you're referring to.
Big Brain out.
@@N3ukenInD3K3uken how about the video? The comment comes from the video.
If you swipe down or up, and hold down, it will keep stepping up or down on the volume
Thanks for the tip any more less known features

Tnx yo!
Thanks
Excellent easy to understand advice, thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Is it considered "multi point" if only one device is connect via bluetooth at a time? (TV or phone) I'm just wondering because of the drop in audio quality
Hi. wanted to know a little more about how speak to chat works in a audio/video call. does it also unmute the microphone allowing you to speak and then mute it once you are done talking?
Hi! Speak to Chat is a really helpful feature for music listening. Being designed specifically for music listening, it may not work as well for you during video calls since it will pause/mute the audio when you begin speaking. For this application, it would probably work better for you either temporarily disable speak to chat or change it to manual in the Sony app settings. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching.
Great presentation and audio quality. The host is great, straight to the point and warm. Good stuff guys. Thought I'd checkout a video while waiting for them in the mail.
I first tried out the XM2's at Best Buy years back and they were the first headphones to really impress me after owning and being happy with the ATH M50's for years and years. Really excited to see what they've changed 2 generations later.
Thank you, we appreciate you sharing.
On man, you just taught me so much. These things are awesome!
Hey there. Great video. A quick question. How do I switch between 2 devices - say laptop and my phone - manually? Eg, is there a button or gesture that enables me to switch whenever I want to or am I restricted to auto switching when there's an incoming phonecall??
(The OnePlus buds Z have a button wherein I can double tap and switch between devices as per my choice)
Hi Ashutosh. The steps for toggling between two bluetooth devices using multipoint connectivity is documented in our full-written version of this tips & tricks guide: www.audioadvice.com/videos-reviews/sony-wh1000xm4-tips-and-tricks/ Thanks for watching!
is there is any 3.5 m mic only without cable that can work with Sony XM4 to be good in phone calls as I am facing a big table with it during phone calls
Hey I cant get the palm over cup to work for ambient noise. It keeps on deactivating speak to chat instead! Any tips?
Don’t press your hand like he does put your palm like lower than your finger and make a circle on it.
Can you please tell me what is the difference between silver and black colour in terms of material? I heard that black is matte black while silver is plastic. Can you confirm whether it's true or not? Thank you in advance
Could you by any chance select when you want the ANC to come on? I would like to use it just for phone calls
Absolutely. This is done manually using a button to toggle it on/off as needed. But you can also set this to be automatic based on Location or even Behavior-based. If you go to our full-written version of the tips & tricks guide, we provide the steps there: www.audioadvice.com/videos-reviews/sony-wh1000xm4-tips-and-tricks/
How do I make it so my headphones don't just focus on the call, and focus on the game volume too?
So if I'm playing a game and I call someone, I can hear the game volume as well as the call.
Hey i bought the headphones and i have two questions:
1. When i am using auxilary cable with my Xbox One, the Microphone isnt working. How can i active it?
2. Also on my Computer (yes i know it has bluetooth connection device) i have the problem with the Microphone and the auxilary.
Hope someone can help me:)
is ok to use pd charger or fast charger cable and adaptor frome anker to charge the headphone?
Seeing this just after getting hands on it. Into is really amazed me by congratulating me.
Best headphones. Have helped so much with sensory overload. Amazing sound quality and bass, amazing range, battery life and features. Best headphones worth the price 200%
Thanks for sharing, we are happy to hear you like them!

I was trying to connect it with Sony 8200E Android tv, It is not getting connected. Could you pls create a video on that
Is there a way to disable the beeps when adjusting the volume?
I dont think so but I think it's a good feature. So you know when to stop adjusting the volume on the headphones.
I hate that too
Hello i just bought the sony xm4. but i have a issue...when im lisening to music the music pause for some rason...what should i do ?

Does sony xm4 power off during charging? And can't be power on until it's plug into charger !?
how to operate the noise cancelation? thanks shely
Anybody knows how to disable forewer that stupid touch control on the right earcup? Im constantly touching my shoulder or something else while slipping and it constantly switching on this stupid speak-to-chat mode where all ambient noise (neighbour loud music) is comming through
Useful content thank you ! It feels weird when I take calls and I can’t hear myself? What do I do to hear my natural voice 😃
how do you change the sensitivity to the mic? i always have people telling me all they hear is my background and not just my voice
If you purchased your Sony headphones from Audio Advice, we would be happy to help you set them up. Here is a link to the manual if you did not helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm4/v1/en/index.html
can i keep the volume to max on the app and change the volume as reqd. on the phone using up/down key ? right now when i use the volume up/down key it also changes the sound on the app... ur tips on this will be helpful.. thanku
What would be the use case for this?
Hello, I have a question, is it normal that the power button feels more difficult to press than the custom button? I bought it recently and I don't know if that is a factory error or not.
It takes a few seconds of holding for the power button to turn them on/off so you accidently do not do it. Thanks for watching
Great vid. I just picked up mine love them however mine wont pause when take them off although the option is checked? I've uninstalled and re installed the app and still wojt pause? Anyone help at all? Thank you

I got the WF-1000XM4 awhile ago to use with my Android phone/travelling. I decided to get the WH-1000XM4 for hm laptop(pc) few days ago. I couldn't find anywhere to get the features which the Sony Connect App has for for my Android phone. Is there a way which I can use those features(fr Sonny Connect App) for my WH-1000XM4 on my laptop? Thank you!
electronics.sony.com/headphones-connect-app Yes
can one connect whit the usb c to lisen to the music of one of those new smartphone whit no 3.5mm port and not using the why-fi/Bluetooth for battery life saving on the phone side.
Greeting Paul! Since the USB-C port is still exclusively for charging, the USB-C port cannot be used for audio. However, you still can plug in with the included headphone cable if you want. Hope that helps and please feel free to head over to AudioAdvice.com and chat with one of our headphone experts if there are any other questions we can help answer for you.
Serious question. I just got my Sony xm4
When sitting next to a fan and using noise cancellation and calling i get wind noise which doesn't happen when noise cancellation is disabled and it's like I'm hearing my surroundings through my mic.
When calling i get a lot of noise from outside like if i can hear the wind noise from the mic which doesn't happen when I'm not calling. I can hear my voice like a double voice when i activate inbuilt Alexa.
Is this happening with you too? Should I replace my headphones as i have 6 days left to do it.
Being near a fan will cause a noise in the headphones. We have not tried Alexa on them, but that sounds odd
Hey I found a really cool feature, by using 2 or 3 fingers and doing a tap and hold anywhere on the touch surface, you can turn speak to chat on and off.
Thanks for sharing!
do i charge the headphones when they are new ? (just opened) and how do i know when they are fully charged?
The charging light usually goes out.
I have this headphones. and i have a problem with bluetooth when i use it with my fiio m11. the sound is very bad. could someone help me?
Sir i have one doubt that ,
Can we use the wired mode (3.5mm) if we ran out of power to listen to music?
Yes you can
Ok so my left ear sound like it’s playing louder than my right how did I fix that I have the app and everything but idk what to do
Hi! We're sorry to hear you experienced some issues with your model. We really appreciate your request for technical support.

I'm not an owner of Sony WH-1000XM4.
I'm just a curious person about ANC in earbuds and headphones.
It amazed me how we as a human can develop such intricate things yet user friendly.
It shows me that if we don't waste a lot of time, we can come out something that can be useful to humanity.
And for that, I thrive to improve myself in my own little bubble world
Sounds like a great plan!
The USB cable provided Is really short and uncomfortable to charge it
It's safe to charge the headphones with a iPhone charger and iPhone cable 5v or what charger should be properly to charge it?
I tried to charge it with a fast charger 18v from apple, and the headphones get a little warm, i unplugged right away.
I suggest getting an Anker fast charger 20w. It has “active shield” so your phone or headphones don’t get to hot bc of the higher wattage. I use this for my iPhone 12 and XM4’s. Seems to do the trick👍
Hey, I just bought the XM4 last month. I really like the sound, build and everything. But recently, after 2-3 noise cancelling optimization, i feel like the ANC effect is really low, like i can hear my keyboard while typing, clock ticking and neighbor's dog barking while the ANC is on and no music is playing. Is this how it is? Or, is something wrong with my device? Would appreciate if you could reply.
That is very hard to say, we would suggest a reset and see what happens. Thanks for watching
since i took mine out the box i feel like the audio quality hasnt been what i expected. it sounds like one side is louder as well
Bro these are so helpful thank you!!
Happy to help!
Does anyone know if you can listen to music with the 3.5 mm cable when they are *off* so that they don’t consume any battery?
Some context: I hate wearing my Sennheiser PXC550 all day at home only to go for a walk at night and find out battery ran out during the day. This happens because they automatically turn on when you flip them open. It is impossible to use them while they are off, and battery drains when they are on, *even* if both Bluetooth and noise canceling are off and I’m using them with the 3.5 cable. I would like to use my headphones at home with the cable while they are off so that at night they are full charge (or whatever charge they had left at the beginning of the day).
Yes it can
they stop my video every time i speak which means i cant sing along to a song! trying to figure out how to disable??
im getting this next week in white! been having really cheap crappy headphones for years and im hyped to get an upgrade 🙏✌🤩🥳
You will like them! Thanks for watching
If you want to use the audio cable (for say, an old MP3 player that doesn't have bluetooth connectivity, is the audio quality just as good or is it poor?)
Whenever the stereo miniplug is used, it means the digital signal is getting converted to an analog signal and this usually results a less "pure" audio signal since it is being changed. Most people wouldn't notice the difference, but if you want the best audio quality, we recommend keeping the signal chain completely digital whenever you can, so there is no conversion in the signal path. Thanks for watching.
@@AudioAdvice i only have one question with these headphones that I can't find the answer to anywhere, can I turn off the headphones when listening to music through the aux cable? I mean, does it just pass through the analog signal to the speakers? Can I turn the headphones off while listening through the 3.5mm cable (not through Bluetooth)? Does listening through the audio cable consume battery?
I want to know if I connect this headphones to my tv or xbox and my phone and listen both sources at the same time +use the mic
Great question! The headphones do support Multipoint Connectivity which means you can connect two devices over Bluetooth at once. With this, you can automatically pause the music playing on your laptop and switch to an incoming call on your phone without removing your headphones or fumbling with Bluetooth settings. When you end the call, the music on your laptop will resume. This works with other devices too, so you can Bluetooth with your TV, switch to your phone, and then back to your TV again, automatically. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching.
why on mine so hard to pairing... what step to simple pairing?
Thank you for the informative video!! I just starting using sony 1000xm4 headphones in s21 ULTRA. However, the LDAC codec is disabled in the phone. So could you please help in enabling that function?
Hi Hameed! Thanks for reaching out! If you purchased your Sony 1000xm4's from our website, come have a chat with one of our customer support chat advisors at www.audioadvice.com/ so we can help you troubleshoot the issue. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your help. Easily understood. Good video.
Glad it helped!
when i am watching youtube and then switch to let´s say SoundCloud, it plays the sound from the phone speakers and not the headphones although i can still control anything else through the right cup, and then i have to disconnect and reconnect the bluetooth on my mobile to get the SoundCloud working again. how can i fix this problem. Thx
Interesting. We have not heard of that issue. We'd recommend reaching out to Sony or the dealer you purchased them through to see if you may have a faulty pair.
Great! Found this very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Does the swiping work when wearing gloves? I would like to wear the headphones without having to take my gloves off when it's cold outside.
We don't think so but have never tried it.
How do I get to play, double tap just pauses and if I double tap after it doesnt play?
Very helpful episode
I have the Sony 710N wireless headphones, and my volume is so low on my iPad Air 4, and my galaxy s10+... any help or I can take these back and get something else. I have 10 more days. Thanks
Traded for the xm4’s...night and day difference
I upgraded from 700n to XM4. Its night and day difference for me as well
is it possible to use usb-c to connect to PC for a zoom meeting and as such? or USB-C only allows charging?
The Sony XM4's USB-C port only supports charging. However, the XM4s do have an input that will accept a 3.5mm stereo miniplug cable, and they also come with this headphone cable in the box. So, this will work great for zoom meetings. But, if you are shopping for a noise canceling headphone with a USB-C port capable of both charging the headphones and passing hi-res audio through the wired connection for zoom meetings and music, then the Bowers & Wilkins PX7 and the new Mark Levinson № 5909 are excellent options. It’s important to note, Mark Levinson and B&W are the few who make the USB-C port capable of both charging and passing hi-res audio through their wired USB-C connections. Since many people will be using these on the go with their phone or a laptop that no longer includes a 3.5mm jack, we see the USB-C audio cable as an added convenience for those wanting the best audio quality from their laptops. You can watch our other videos on these headphones here: B&W PX7 - audioadvice.io/px7carbon and the Mark Levinson № 5909 - audioadvice.io/MLNo5909 We hope these resources help and thanks for watching.
@@AudioAdvice you guys definitely mean business!! thank you so much for sucha long explnation and pin pointing those 2 headphones. I think my search has ended with your recommendation. Thank you very much, means a lot. Subscribed!
I have this device and it is paired to my android phone .
While I get the incoming music from the phone and apply noise cancellation on headphone, the cancellation and incoming music turns off after sometime and I have to press power button again on the headphone to get the device operational.
Any ideas how to address this please?
Something is wrong, the Sony's should not do that, they will normally turn on and work for in noise cancelling mode only for about 10 minutes without being paired. But you have to be paired to play music, unless you are using wired. We suggest you contact the dealer you purchased them from.
Wow - good stuff!! Subscribed and a way thumbs up - great job. Hope to see more ...
Awesome, thank you!
how do i change the setting to tell me whos calling?

Why doesn’t fast forward and rewind work on an iPhone? I’m paired to Bluetooth only on this iPhone. I’ve tried with a few music services and it never works. I’ve been trying to find this answer, but haven’t come across it yet.

Hi How to mute - unmute the calls?
If the Xm4 kept wired to my PC, will the audio be high quality same as it is in stereo Bluetooth mode? Sorry if this question seems silly because I'm not very good with techs and I bought this to use on PC.
Typically, wired should sound better than bluetooth.
@@AudioAdvice Thanks so much for the help😁
Hey Audio Advice! I just want to ask one thing... How can I active the NC without playing music?
Turn them on and activate nc
mine always start in nc on default
Is it true that the power button feels different and a bit more difficult to click than the custom button?
Hi Bram! While there might be some slight differences in how buttons feel, the power button on our test sample didn't feel difficult to click compared to the custom button. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
Can I connect to older Bravia tv without Bluetooth, bought a receiver online?
You would need a Bluetooth transmitter
Does anybody have a link to download the app for a windows 11 PC please?
I tried and u better not just download it in ur phone and use it with ur pc…if u didn’t understand i mean manage the headphone in phone and use it
I would really love to watch how this awesome headphone is used for in flight entertainments as it will be my main purpose to purchase this gadget for when I fly abroad.
It depends on the plane. If there is a small display in the seat in front you will need the cable that comes with them. If it is via WiFi and you use a tablet then you can Bluetooth to your tablet. Thanks for watching
@@AudioAdvice Ahh I see.. very informative. Thank you so much for the info 😊😊
what is the DSEE Extreme function for?
Greetings! DSEE Extreme is a technology for upscaling compressed sound sources by using artificial intelligence technology. By raising the sampling frequency and the bit rate higher than the original value, you get a clearer and more lively sound even with highly compressed sound sources such as MP3. Thanks for watching!
Does Sony advise you when an update is available?
Thanks,
Jim
Sorry they do not.
I got everything except the “dashboard”, whatever it is. I downloaded “file manager: as suggested in the box and got the offer to purchase the damn thing. I am at a point, the earphones are not yet paired, when I want to check the whole thing in the recycling bin.
Just because I missed that single step.
I just bought these!!! Amazing headphones
Glad you like them!
Thank you that was so helpful
Glad it helped!
Hi! Is there anything I can do to have full noise cancelling on and not have horrible pressure feeling/pain in my ear drums/canal, as well as jaw and sinus!? It’s insane I know. But I am sad. I was soooooo excited to purchase these. The noise relief brought tears of joy. But the I realized I might be one of the few that can’t tolerate the Frequency of the ANC. I wore them for about 4hrs the first day and 8 hours or so the second day. And now I can’t wear them more than 15mins without feeling my ears will bleed. And this is on the lowest setting volume. And sometimes with no news or audio or music at all. Just ANC for relief of external noises. And just can’t do it…. Are there any recommendations??? Or would I have to set it to lower ANC? Which to me defeats the purpose of what I need them for. And if no options is there another product you might recommend to help with NC!? I had older style ear buds before but just like ear plus even they were damaging and making my ears sore too. :( @audio advice
Hi Laura. The Personal Noise-canceling Optimization feature takes a series of readings inside and outside your headset for noise-cancellation that’s dynamically tailored for you and your surroundings. This feature helps balance the atmospheric pressure and reduces the “sucking” effect that’s typical in noise canceling headphones and generally can be adjusted in the app. We're sorry to hear you are experiencing with your headset, but we may need more information about your setup to better understand how to troubleshoot further if this information does not resolve your issue. If you purchased your Sony WH-1000XM4 from us, please reach out to us in chat at audioadvice.io/aa-chat so we can help you troubleshoot the issue you are experiencing. If it turns out Sony's ANC does not work well for your use, then the B&W PI7 or PI5 in-ear headphones could have ANC that works out better. While Sony's ANC is considered one of the best in terms of ANC performance, B&W is generally much less intense compared to the Sony XM4. Here's a comparison on the two B&W models to help you narrow down the options: www.audioadvice.com/videos-reviews/bowers-wilkins-pi7-pi5-noise-canceling-in-ear-headphones-review/ Hope this helps, and thank you so much for watching.
@@AudioAdvice Wow! That is by far the best response I have received in life in the last 3 years easily - and is so appreciated! I will look into everything you suggested and try to tailor it more and see if I have better luck or if it persists! I did purchase from Sony (sorry) didn't know you existed until I owned these - so maybe a purchase of something in the future because honestly really great - detailed - supportive responses that are smart/ technical is just how I roll and how I understand things. So thank you. Thank you for even responding! I'll keep you posted on changes or possible product change to your suggestions!
bf just gifted me these! how would i use them with my apple watch/what features can i do (mentioned near the end?) thanks :)
You will need to connect them to your iPhone via bluetooth. Thanks for watching
Which AC adaptor do you recommend for this device ?
Hi Garry. The Sony WH-1000XM4 comes with a short USB Type-A to USB-C charging cable that will let you charge the headphone from a laptop's USB port. So, any standard smartphone charger with a USB-A port that connects with the included cable will charge the XM4's sufficiently. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
Haven't use my one in a while and I pull it out to use charge it, and press the power button and still doesn't work. I wonder why?
Try giving them a full charge. Thanks for watching
Can I use the headphone via the headphone jack anytime i want? (Even without charging it?)
Great question. Yes it can be used that way. The noise cancelling does need a charge though. Thanks for watching
Very good way if presenting. Thanks
Thanks and welcome
Thank you 🌹
I purchased the WH-1000XM4. The touch controls are ok. Having trouble with skipping tracks. I like how removing the head phones stops the youtube videos I am watching. Thank you
Glad you are enjoying them. Thanks for watching
Same problem, can't skip tracks... Any solution?
New to these headphone set then up. But once I start walking the music gets cut off. What do I need to do.
They must be loosing the Bluetooth connection to your phone somehow.
@@AudioAdvice thank you I've checked everything. Works better thank you

Just a quick question. My power button is harder to press than the custom button, and also doesn’t do a click sound. Is this an intentional design choice, or is mine faulty?
Just tested a XM3 we had around, it felt the same as the other buttons. Sorry, we don't have a pair of the XM4 at the moment.

Thanks anyway. I asked around and it’s definitely faulty, so I returned it.
Thank you. Much appreciated.

bro, what do you shave those whiskers with.....a Ginsu?
What adapter should be used to charge the headphones.?
USB-C
Anyone know what the battery life is from 100 to 0?
I just got them and sound quality is superb. Haven’t tested the noise cancelling yet in noisy environments, but I have a good feeling about it
Awesome! Glad you enjoy!
I used them in public transport and I don’t hear anything except for my music, I am amazed by the noise cancelling
Can you listen to tv with blue tooth Sonos bar?
really needed a closer shot of the app, or maybe screen record it?
