Look at your phone and ASC has turned On again and the slider is set to zero and, depending on the volume level of the outside source of music, it now is extremely faint. Tap the Mode button again, and hear "Noise Cancelling".Ergo, the only thing deadening your music is the ear pads. To confirm, look at your phone: ASC is now at Off. Now hear what happens to the level/tone/clarity of the music? It is no longer enhanced by the ASC circuitry. Tap the Mode button on the headphone and hear "ASC Off".Now listen for a moment to the ambient sound level. Move the Ambient Sound slider all the way to the right, to 20. Open the Sony phone app, select the Sound settings and see that ASC is On.Turn your earphones on and turn on a source of music not connected to your headphones by bluetooth.With FoV unchecked, you're just getting an amplified feed of all external sound through the cans.ĪSC Off turns off the circuitry that is boosting the level of the ambient sound reaching your ears and the only sound deadening you experience is that provided by the padding on the headphones. How well it does this is what justifies the price tag for many.Īmbient Sound Control engages the mics and pipes that to your ears through the speakers in combination with your audio source - kinda like an amplifier for hearing to overcome the fact you have something covering your ears.įocus On Voice is kinda like a hearing aid, at a basic level - helps isolate voice over background noise. Noise Cancelling is what it says - uses its mics to send your ears the 'opposite' wavelengths to what it detects externally, thus nullifying the sound coming to your ears from the surrounding environment. Add audio from your music/media source and that's all you're getting, just like regular headphones. Heavy user of the xm3 - earbuds rather than cans - but the circuitry wouldn't be too different, given the modes are the same (at least, they were when I looked at the cans with my Mrs a while back).Īmbient Sound Off turns off the circuitry completely, as if the headphones were off. On phone app, Noise Cancelling slider sets to zero.
Sony ambient sound control full#
“ Noise cancelling” - Full noise cancelling engaged.“Ambient sound control off” - There is a subtle change in the sound level of music coming from an outside source.If background music is playing from another source, it becomes clearer/louder when Focus on Voice is unchecked,.Focus on Voice is checked at every restart & must be manually unchecked if desired.On phone app, ASC turned on & set to 20 (my preferred setting).
“ Ambient sound” - Outside/ambient sounds can be heard.I had my wife, who has extraordinarily keen hearing, cycle through the settings and she could only detect the subtlest of differences between these two settings.Ĭycling through settings controlled by the Custom button on the headphones, here is what I get in turn and what I hear and what I see on the iPhone Sony App under “Sound” tab. The notification sound tells you when the Noise Canceling or Ambient Sound Control setting change.Anyone have the time to take a shot at clarifying the difference between what you should expect to hear wearing these headphones when you cycle from Ambient Sound to Ambient Sound Control Off? When the Adaptive Sound Control is set to On, the Headphones Connect app detects where you are and what you are doing and adjusts the setting of the Noise Canceling or Ambient Sound Control. The image below shows the Headphones Connect app screen, using the WF-1000XM3 as an example.
If this happens frequently, you can disable the touch sensor by changing the function of the touch sensor to None Assigned using the Headphones Connect app. This issue can be caused if the touch sensor is tapped inadvertently. The touch sensor is tapped inadvertently (for Truly Wireless headphones with touch sensors)
