I just upgraded to the Sony XM4 headphones, and have to say overall, I am disappointed. I moved from a pair of Bose QC35 which I think had better noise cancelling than the Sony.

My questions:

  1. While listening to podcasts or any content that is more spoken word vs music, the noise cancelling is pretty poor. I’ve already toggled all the settings, gone thru the troubleshooting steps mentioned on Reddit threads as well, but it never improves. Is this others experience as well?

  2. When I have the headset on music playing and I’m on the train, it feels like people are far away but their voice is amplified and they sound louder. But when I take the headphones off, it’s at best a conversation at a normal volume. Is there some setting that’s doing that or do I have a dodgy headset?

    Even while listening to spoken word content mate? Hmm maybe the sensor is broken then.
