So, if you want to have a quick word with someone, cover the right ear cup on the headphones with your hand to lower down the volume level - that way, you can easily listen to what the other person is saying and respond to them. Quick Attention mode makes it easier for you to quickly talk to someone, with your headphones on, without having to manually pause the playback. Sony offers the Quick Attention mode feature on both the WH-1000XM3 and the WH-1000XM4 headphones. If you use a device that supports AAC, aptX, aptX HD, or LDAC codec, you should have the “priority on sound quality” mode enabled to get the best output. However, in case you want to prioritize connection, you can do so from the app. By default, the headphones are set to prioritize sound quality. Depending on what you prefer - sound or connection stability - you can select the appropriate sound quality from the Headphones Connect app.

Sony offers two different sound quality modes over Bluetooth. Alternatively, you can head to the Headphones Connect app and start optimization from there. Once the optimization is complete, you will hear “optimizer finished”, and you are good to go. The assistant will now alert you when the optimizer starts and ends. To do this, with the headphones turned on, press and hold the noise-canceling button for 2 seconds. For instance, you can optimize the noise canceling on your headphones for different phases during a flight or when you put on/off your eyewear. You can use the feature to optimize noise-canceling based on your immediate surrounding noises. As its name suggests, NC Optimizer optimizes the noise canceling on the headphones by considering various factors like the shape of your face, hairstyle, presence of eyewear, and the surrounding noise. The Sony WH-1000XM3 (and M4) offer a unique functionality called NC Optimizer. Optimize headphones for effective noise cancelation

To be able to use it effectively, you need to disable either the call or music playback functionality on one of the two devices from the Bluetooth settings. However, with the WH-1000XM4, you can play music on one device and seamlessly switch to the other to take calls. While there are some headphones that support multi-point connectivity, they often require the need to disconnect with one source and connect with the other to be able to use either functionality. With the all-new WH-1000XM4, you get multi-point connection support, which means you can connect the headphones with two devices at a time and seamlessly switch between them for music and calls.

Take advantage of multi-point connectivity

Since now, all you need to do is enable NFC on your phone and tap it on the left earcup of the headphones to pair the two together, without having to turn on the headphones manually.

Moreover, if you have an Android device that comes with NFC, pairing the headphones should be even more convenient. Once done, go into the Bluetooth settings on your device and select the headphones from there. Make sure the light blinks blue, which is an indication that the headphones are in pairing mode. For this, you need to enable Bluetooth on your device (smartphone/laptop) and turn on the headphones (using the power button). And you get a 3.5mm cable bundled with the headphones that lets you connect the headphones with any device that has an audio jack. Alternatively, you can use Bluetooth to listen to music as well. First things first, the Sony XM3 and XM4 support both wired and wireless modes of playback.
