This ensures that it doesn’t trigger easily. Head over to the Sony Headphones app and set the “ Voice Detect Sensitivity” to “ L Sensitivity“. Thankfully, you can adjust the sensitivity of Speak to Chat in the app. It also gets triggered if you start humming a song. For instance, if you are watching a stand-up comedy and start laughing on a joke, the Speak-to-chat will get triggered and pause the music for 30 seconds. The Speak-to-Chat is quite a thoughtful feature but also very sensitive. You can also disable it with the same gesture. Just tap and hold the right-earcup with 2 fingers and you’ll hear the prompt saying “Speak-to-Chat enabled”. You can either enable it from the Sony Headphones app or use a quick gesture. Once enabled, the headphones will automatically pause the music and turn off noise cancellation anytime you start speaking, and if you don’t say anything, the music resumes 30 seconds after speech stops.īy default, this feature is turned OFF.
Sony has touted the Speak-to-Chat feature on the XM4. Do note that, for security reasons, the NFC on your smartphone doesn’t work when the screen is off. To disconnect the headphones, tap your smartphone again on the NFC logo and it’ll get disconnected. Once done, the headphones will automatically power on and connect to your smartphone. As soon as you correctly tap on the NFC, your smartphone will vibrate. Instead of long-pressing the power button every time, simply unlock your phone and place the back of your device on the NFC logo you see in the left earcup of the XM4. So, if you have a smartphone with NFC like Pixel 4A or Samsung Galaxy S10, there’s a better way to power ON and connect your headphones. Similar to the XM3, the WH-1000XM4 has an NFC chip on the left earcup. I mostly use this feature to have a quick conversation or just eavesdrop at ongoing conversations. To use this feature simply put your palm on the right earcup, it instantly reduces the music volume and uses microphones located on the earcup to let the ambient sound in.
The XM4 has a handy gesture called “Quick Attention Mode” which allows you to listen to outside noise without going through the hassle of taking off your headphones or reducing the volume. Before we get to the tips and tricks, most of these tricks require you to download the Sony Headphones app.
