Question 1

Whats better from the xm3 to to the xm4 is it even worth it.

Accepted Answer

Hi James,

Thank you so much for your interest in our newest Industry Leading Noise Canceling Overhead Headphones WH1000XM4! There have been some great upgrades to the WH1000XM4 from the WH1000XM3.

The WH1000XM4 utilizes DSEE Extreme™ (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) which upscales compressed digital music files in real-time. Dynamically recognizing the instrumentation, musical genres, and individual elements of each song, such as vocals or interludes, it restores the high-range sound lost in compression for a richer, more complete listening experience.

The new WH1000XM4 will reduce noise 20% better than the prior model. It does this in part by utilizing the 5 built-in microphones to remove the directional sound.

Also, the WH1000XM4 features smart listening technology to enhance your listening. With this, you can simply start speaking to automatically pause your music in Speak-to-Chat, or enjoy adaptive playback thanks to the proximity sensor and two acceleration sensors that detect whether your headphones are being worn or not.

Finally, we also gently adjusted the design of the headphones. We added more cushioning to the headband and ear padding. We also changed the outside dimensions of the headphones slightly so they sit more comfortably over your head.

For their detailed specifications, please visit our support website.

I hope this helps!

Thanks again for considering Sony!

Question 2

Can you use the noice cancelling without playing music?

Accepted Answer

Hi Someone,

Thank you so much for your inquiry in our newest Industry Leading Noise Canceling Overhead Headphones! Yes, you can. The Noise Canceling feature of these Bluetooth® headphones is initially set to automatically turn off after five minutes. You can change the Automatic Power Off setting in the Headphones Connect app from 5 minutes to 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 3 hours or, if you want Noise Canceling to stay on all the time, just simply tap Do not turn off. Also, the automatic power-off feature has only one setting, power-off after 15min of not wearing.

I hope this helps!

Thanks again for considering Sony!

Question 3

Will these work with ps5 or ps4?

Accepted Answer

I JUST got this headset yesterday and have yet to try connecting it to my PS5 via Bluetooth. However I also bought a "V-MODA BoomPro mic" which plugs into the headphone jack in the headset and then to my control (works with both PS5 and Xbox, tested em both today). If you're okay with using a wire, the mic is way better than the build in microphones on the headset and also has a mute switch a volume nob built in. Costs me $35, but I think it goes to $30 occasionally. Cable is a little long, but tolerable for me for the benefits. The noise-canceling and sound pass-through features work when wired this way too

Question 4

Will the mic be disabled when I use the 3.5 mm cable?

Accepted Answer

Hi grae.b, the three WH-1000XM4 voice pickup microphones located on the left earcup work only when connected via Bluetooth. The WH-1000XM4 headphones work fine for phone calls when the audio cable is connected, though, by utilizing the microphone from the smartphone. ~Earl
