congratulations if you're watching this how to
video then you're probably a new owner of sony's brand new
wh-1000xm4 noise canceling headphones in this video we're going to give you a
quick rundown of how to get up and running quickly
so you get the most out of your new noise cancelling headphones
alright this is the box with the sony wh-1000xm4
comes inside and we're going to do a quick rundown of what's inside
so when you slip off the first section just put that right there you've got the
easy setup guide which has some quick guide guidelines on instructions on how
to get it set up and download the app we're going to go over that
in just a little bit when you peel that back you've got the really nice
case and open up the headphone case
and this is exactly how you'll want to stow away
your headphones when you put it back in later you've got
usbc charging cable we've got the 3.5 millimeter headphone
cable and last but not least we've got the
airline adapter right here real briefly this is where your usb-c
charging port is and that's how you charge your
headphones when they run out of juice and on the left ear cup there's the
3.5 millimeter stereo plug right above that is your power button
and you'll notice there's a little led light when you press and hold that
it'll light up and also you can't hear it right now but when you're wearing the
headphones what happens immediately is there's a
voice that pretty much walks you through pairing it
with your phone it immediately enters pairing mode right
out of the box when you power it on and then briefly we'll talk
about this custom button but that actually can be changed and
reprogrammed to activate voice assistants
so i've got my left ear cup here my right ear cup is right here
where the touch capacity controls are when you
double tap that actually pauses your music which is really cool
when you swipe up or down that actually lowers or raises the
volume really user friendly and if you want to
skip the track or rewind just doing a little swipe just like
you're on an iphone with a touchscreen and you're
swiping on an ipad it's basically the same concept if you
want to go back just swipe backwards and you'll find it's
really simple to navigate once you actually wear the
headphones and start using it to interact with them and your music one
other really cool feature to point out about this capacitive touch
control is on the same right ear cup there's a
really awesome feature that's you know pretty
famous with the previous model as well but
um it's the ambient noise control that actually
pipes in ambient noise around you when you want to hear
your surroundings so that works just by placing
your hand on the right ear cup just like this so
the way that works is if someone comes up to you you've got noise cancelling on
you've got your music on you really can't hear anything because you're in
your private little world and you recognize someone wants to speak
to you you just hold your hand like this and immediately the outside world is
pumped in and you can hear the person speaking to
you and they also know you know they get the signal that you're
also you know you got headphones on and everything when the conversation is over
you're back into your private little world and the music starts playing again
okay and this is our dashboard it's basically just going to show you the
status of your headphones so from here you get a quick convenient
view of your adaptive sound control we'll go into that a little bit more in
just a moment right below that you can see your
multi-point connectivity which shows that i'm connected to two
bluetooth devices at once that's my phone
and my macbook pro right below that you got
some quick convenient playback controls and volume right there
so adaptive sound control talk about that real quick
basically this is where the you can control how much of the ambient world
is piped into your headset based on your activity
behavior or location if i were running for instance you actually
might want to be more aware of your surroundings
like cars passing by and things like that it's it's more safe so
sony right off the bat gives you a lot more ambient
noise coming into the headphone when that setting is on but
let's say you wanted to adjust it so that there's
full noise cancellation if you want to be in total silence or if you wanted to
let in just a little bit more you'll see how that works and same thing
for walking and for sitting and
speak to chat also leave that on because that's going to be where
the ambient noise will pipe into your headset
when you automatically speak now what's really cool about that
if you want to change the sensitivity of speak to chat
i leave mine on automatic it works pretty well but if you do want to lower
or increase the sensitivity it gives you the option to do that
um high is pretty pretty sensitive if you cough
it's going to you know detect that it's going to basically detect your voice
pause your music for you and pipe in ambient noise so i just use automatic
we're going to go now into the system and this is really important because
there are software updates for instance that sony will
release that improves your headphones and i'm just going to skip right down to
the bottom and show you where that is it's automatic download
of software and there's a button or a switch that toggles that on or off i
leave it on because i like to automatically have those cool
new features as soon as sony rolls them out this is where you
change the function of the custom button just a reminder
that custom button is right below the power button so
what that does by default is when you tap it
it lets you pipe in ambient noise into the headphone but it can be
changed to automatically um activate google assistant or
amazon alexa or even the apple iphone and you can turn it on or off here
