i can’t believe i’m even having these problems with $350 headphones, literally never buying a sony product again, what a joke lmao
All technology has issues.Audio Technica,AKG,Samsung,Bose,Beats,Sennheiser,etc...
You can't blame sony, they are a really respectable brand and maybe your pair was bad but that doesn't mean everything is
@@LM-dd9db mine also dont work did all the stuff that was recommended and NOTHING.....£350 ... quite steep for issues
@@nessski yeah I actually ended up returning them and at least I got my money back
My headset lights when it charges but it wont turn on Bluetooth.
I can only use it with wire
I tried using a less power full charger,
because i have a fast charger,
so i tried to charge it in My Ps4 and it worked
I have the same issue but I have guarantee but Sony won't accept it
And I cared for this headphones so much they never fell, got wet or anything. I can use it with wire but it works horrible.
Got the same problem, plus the left ear cup of mine is getting warm. Anyone experience the same?
I've been using this headphones for over 10 months and just today it gave me a bluetooth connectivity issue. The hard reset worked for me, thanks man!
Thanks you so much for this guide 😭❤️❤️ Everywhere I looked even the official website it said that the reset is 7 seconds and that didn’t work, but when I tried it for 10 seconds it finally works
I was about to dump my Sony WH1000XM3, followed your instructions and working perfectly again. Thank you!
Mine are literally brand new and didn’t wanna turn in for some odd reason after I had just turned them off 10 mins prior. Tried this and worked Thankyou 👌
Thank you for this video! The hard reset worked for me after I couldn’t connect to Bluetooth. I hadn’t used the headphones for a long time so maybe that’s why.
Thanks a ton my friend! The soft reset didn't work, but your walkthrough on the hard reset saved me a trip to the damn service center in this sweltering heat.
I just have to say thank you. I thought mine were water damaged or something but doing the hard reset worked!
thank you so much!!!! I've been struggling for more than a month now getting my headphone detected but no go. I've been struggling with using it while on zoom hopefully it'll do the magic!!!!!! thanks a bunch!!
It worked . You are the best mine was not charging nor it was turning on . The hard reset fixed it
Thank you so much for sharing this troubleshooting guide! My headphones were not responding and I fixed it after a soft reset! Saved me trying to find a repair store!!
Thanks so much for this! I held the soft reset for 10 secs (not 7 as advised in the manual) and this worked!
My problem was connectivity issue with my imac, the hard reset did it for me! Thank you so much!
My headphones are great, but no matter how hard I tried, there was no illumination lights, red or blue, to suggest a charge was being received. Great tip! It appears to work. Very grateful. Thank you. Lesson learned.
excellent video! was really looking around to see what might be wrong with the headset when it wouldn't turn on despite being charged, seems like it needed a soft reset!
Thank you so much the hard reset instantly fixed my problem!!!
ty for the help it's been only 2 days since I got my pair and for some reason when I held the power button they would show a small dim barely noticeable flicker of blue and orange before nothing would happen tried the soft rest nothing did the hard reset and it worked and now I know that it was also at low power so that might have been the reason
so thank you you earned a like and subscriber and also want to tell you how I appreciate that you don't ask for a like and subs before the vid even starts I hate it when yters do that thanks again and keep only keeping on and stay safe out there.
Glad to hear your headphones work fine and appreciate subbing 👍 All the best!
I was struggling with my computer trying to pair LE_WH-1000xm3 and a hard reset worked!!!! Thank you!!!
Thanks for the help! Hard reset did it for me!
Thank you! The soft reset fixed the issue.
Thank you so much for helping me!! You're amazing!
You win a subscriber the the hard reset really did my work..
The restarts shown about worked beautifully, thank you so much

Perfect!
Many thanks
Wow.. it worked!!
the soft reset thing, held the power key and ambient/google voice key together for 10 secs.
Hi, got a problem on the left side of my headphone. It keep getting warm and the headphone can't be turned on.
I've tried to disconnect the battery (on the right side) then it's not warm anymore. But once I reconnect the battery, it's getting warm again.
Do you know whats possibly the issue here? Is it short circuit or something?
Hi man, i just wanna says thanks for the tips on hard reset. been using my xm3 for 3 years now, never had a problem. then today, it sound different, like the microphone is always on, and the music sound quality dropped drastically. did the soft reset, nothing happened. but after a hard reset, everything went bak to normal. thanks a bunch.
Thank You So much got mine up and beating again
Mine would not charge/light up and would also not turn on. The soft restart fixed my issue right away. Thank you!
Nice one! It worked! Thanks very much mate! 👍👍👍
It won’t let me into the software until it’s pair so how can I troubleshoot this?
When I decided to turn off the headset I holded the
custom button instead of power button for to long and
start to lagging then the headset torn off I tried to press
the power button didn't work I tried every method it
doesn't work, can I have a solution, i have t for one
month its the sony WH-1000XM4
Thanks so much, hard reset worked for me.
i have mine charged and the red light shows but when i turn it on the blue light never blinks
Not sure if you still reply to a video you posted a long time ago but my headphones work with an auxiliary cord, but when I try charging the red led turns on for about 3-5 minutes then turns off and doesn’t charge, tried all the methods in the video and none of them work, could this just be a battery problem?
Bro.. I had lost all hope and I was about to search Amazon for a new headphones.
Read a lot of comments anxiously about how soft didn't work but hard reset did or neither didn't
Mine was charging. But wouldn't turn on. Did soft reset like you said and it is working.
Thank you so much ❤
Damnnn, that worked, hahaha thanks.
Also for everyone, OnePlus charger doesn't work with the headphones, that messed mine up but a soft reset made it work. Laptop charging is on point and working nicely
I had no light while charging and this video fixed it, thanks!
thank you so much!! The second method work for me
I had a problem with pairing it with my phone, did the hard reset and it works. Thank you so much :)
@@howtodostuff. my headphones are making a buzzing sound when connecting to my tv how do i fix that?
Very useful video thanks
brand new set, red light taking forever, 7 second initial button press not doing anything. Not happy at all with them. Hang on - big long press and they are working great!!! How to trash the idea of plug and play. And what about the shortest possible power lead- crazy.
Saved my life thanks bro.
bro thanks bro its very very use full to me😍
The USB cable provided Is really short and uncomfortable to charge it
It's safe to charge the headphones with a iPhone charger and iPhone cable 5v or what charger should be properly to charge it?
I tried to charge it with a fast charger 18v from apple, and the headphones get a little warm, i unplugged right away.
hello friend, please help, I have wh1000xm headphones when charging, they glow red and at the same time flash a blue indicator (every 5 seconds ±) what can this indicate? my friend has the same headphones and when turned on, they just glow red until fully charged
I have been searching for hours trying to figure out whats wrong with my xm4s.
its paired and the control panel for audio devices shows the headphones are picking up sound but i am not hearing anything on my end
when i go to test sound in control panel for devices i get no playback sound. when i direct connect with the wire it works but not for bluetooth....
Thank you very much.
Should the charging diode on the Sony WH -1000 XM 3 headphones indicate the end of charging process by changing the light colour from red to green ?
I hear some cracking sounds when my new sony WI-C200 bluetooth headset is connected with huwai smart phone which is already connected with huwai smart watch. The problem occures only when both the devices are connected. Is there any solutions for that?
Thanks for your great video! When my WH 1000XM3 is being charged, the charging indicator light is NOT on, that is, my headset can not be charged at all. Therefore I can't reset to factory settings. I have no ideas of whether the charging port is broken down or the battery itself is out of order. Can you shed the light on how to diagnose where the problem could come from? Thanks a lot in advance!
I've tried everything from the video, and i still cannot turn the headphones on. When i connect them for charging, the charging light is on for like 2 minutes and then turns off. They work when i connect the aux cable in them, but they won't turn on. Can anyone help me with that?
Thank u very much dear 🥰 not pairing issue
I get the red light when charging, but the headphones wont turn on... Neither the soft or hard reset do anything (I don't get the blinking blue light when trying the hard reset.) Audio works with the 3mm cable.
I need help with my headphones as soon as I plug the charger in to the charging slot it blinks one time and doesn't charge at all. (MONSTER MTH9-1001 headphones
Can anyone help me for wh1000xm4 model?. I purchased this headphone few months ago and now I am facing charging issues. When I plugged in the red led light gets on and within few seconds it goes off I have tried all the possibilities to resolve this issue with apple and samsung adaptor also i tried charging with sony wire which is included in the box and other premium wires too. Headphone is updated to the latest firmware. When i on and then turn off the device it is charging and the red light is on continuously but this should not be the case as it was working properly earlier in first go. Please help.
My xm4's doesnt go into pairing mode anymore , they were working fine for these last 6 months and now suddenly out of nowhere they are not going in pairing mode , neither they are hard resetting i tried everything i long press power button for 7 sec but nothing happens and same with hard reset it doesnt work
Please help
Are my headphones dead
Will sony accept and give me replacement?
This video worked for me!!! Thank you so much! I almost threw these $300 headphones in the trash. So glad I found this tutorial. The "Soft Reset" is what brought back my Bluetooth connectivity issue. Thank you so much!!!!
very nice man
Thank you
Alright I just fixed my headset what I did was I first went through these non hardware invasive steps none worked then (if this is the case for you its most likely a hardware problem and not a software problem as proposed in the video) i decided to open up the headphone with some screwdrivers first i did the right side where the battery was (thought it might be a dead battery) and disconnected it for 15 minutes then plugged back in but that did not work as has been recommended by a few to do and work it did not in my case however.
What worked for me was i opened up the left side where the power button is and just messed around a little bit with the cable and applied a bit of pressure here and there and tested the power until I found the so called "sweet spot" and some reason that fixed it might be the same case for some other folks out there lose cable might need to resolder it if you have the tools and skills but for me just a simple reopen and pressing around fixed it might help you too if these simple steps didn't worked in this video.
At the end of the day it just seems to be (at least in my case) a few cables out of place inside the case or pressure just over time from maybe dropping or just general daily use that made it kind stop powering on, but try it to these steps first before buying a brand new battery it might just save you a few bucks.
Well done. Well mine are working fine so I didn't want to open it up however if I ever have that problem I will follow your steps. There's also some hardware steps on reedit.
Amazing, I just did the same and it start working, nothing else worked...
I think it was when I pressed down the two biggest (but small) black sqares on the circuit board (model WH-XB900N) it start working, many thanks!
I have a problem with the mic 🎤 when i speak with they told me was very bad can u help me
Thanks🙏…solved my peoblem
Hi.. i just change the earpad and now it keeps on and off on its own. Can you help?
Hello I have the sonic b headphones I’m having trouble with the power button it won’t turn on. I’ve tried to charge it the little red light does come on but it’s turn off too plus I read the instructions guide and it’s says the led lights are supposed to flash red but that’s not happening. I’ve only had them for less than a week and I’m very worried
The sound on my Sony’s worked when it was plugged in, it was charging, but it still doesn’t turn on even after I tried to do both resets. Any advice?
What is the faster charger that can be used with Sony XM4?
I am using 5V == 3A (15W) and it's getting heated up
Any suggestions?
I’ve tried both the soft and the hard reset and it is still not working. The red light comes on when I’m charging them and I can hear sound when I use the cable to connect them to my computer, but I can’t turn them on, the blue light just doesn’t appear
Thanks!
my charging light work but my bleutooth light doesnt work, i tried soft reset and hard reset but both didnt work, what should i do, because i dont have warranty
I have dropped my headphones in the water. I tried to clean all the moisture, but it stll has the issues after a week: the headphones are working only on wire, the red light from charging is on when plugged, the on/off is not working... any ideas what to do? Model is xm2
any updates on this man? Mine got wet whilst walking in the rain and now they’re not charging or turning on and i’m so concerned
@@andreas1642 me too, I got them wet and have the same problem what worked for u, pls answer???
@@bluu4902 sadly nothing, i think the battery was killed by the water damage so now the bluetooth doesn’t work :(
@@andreas1642 oh well, I just told my dad they stopped working randomly so now I'm just leaving them to dry and I'll see if they work after that
Soft and hard reset don't work for mine but it can play audio (wire) and no issue with charging
I am unable to charge my headphone through powerbank or directly through wall socket.
It charges for 10 sec(red light) but after that it turns off the red light.
This is my 2nd one because the first one I bought a week ago was not even indicating redlight, first time it did though.
Don't know what the problem is ,but looks to me the charger might me the one
My headphones work when I connect the use the cord. However I connect get my Bluetooth to work/turn on the headphones.
Issues:
1. When I plug in the charger the device begins to charge but only for 1-2 minutes. After this the light goes away.
2. Next when I try charge the headphones and do the reset (both soft and hard) it disconnects the headphones from charging (red light goes away)
Any thoughts on what I can do?
Thx even thoughmy neadphones wasnt a sony i still managed to fix it
Happy 2022 you and your family. I own the Xm4 and the app keeps turning on “speak-to-chat” even though I keep turning it off. Is there an issue and solution you may know? Thanks
I applied both the soft and hard resets but its still not working. The headsets shows charging red light when plugged into the power but when removed, even if I press the headphones doesn't power up. I checked using headphone using the cables, and I guess some good part is the sound is coming. So, what would be the next thing to do here, since I have only 1 year warranty on the item and its about 18 months now.
Very helpful video, i had an issue with the pairing, after a hard reset, the pairing worked again perfectly
I tried. Really it's working sony ch500
Thanks for your video. For my headphones the hard reset seems not to work at times. Every time I disconnect my phone my device by putting Bluetooth off from my device, the headphones needs hard reset....which does not happen in one go... it's quite frustrating. Any idea, what's going wrong with my headphones? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hey Naresh. Not sure but it doesn't happen for me. What happens if you first turn off your headphones and then turn off BT on your phone? Same thing?
My Sony whch500 headphone led color turns pink while charging and it not turns off now ..it not working at all only pink color appear ... How can I fix bro
I us s the app and it doesn’t recognize the headphones on the Sony App! Won’t pair to my iphone.
Hi sir
I would like to ask you, I have Sony noise cancellation head phones, work perfectly if I use wire, when I charged it shows red led light, it won’t turn on, if I keep it hot son 20 min and it’s turn on . After turn off it need to be heat before turn on, I thought battery problem so I bought new battery and having a same problem. Would you please tell me what would be the troubleshooting so I can fix ! If anyone know about this kind problem solve please help me out ! Thanks
Hey Raju, just so I understand; your headphones will work as long as you heat them up prior to turning them on? What do you use to heat them? Do you heat specific area?
I just realised half way through this video that this tutorial said Sony, I have a sonic b incognito that charges fine, works with the cord but doesn’t turn on. I only got it last month.
Thank you so much 🙏🏾 I struggled to re-pair my phone to my headphones for almost a month until I saw your video and did the hard reset. I've looked on Sony's website and everything I've been able to find so far, but nothing before yours. Thank you very much
This video totally saved me!!! I thought my Sony's were trashed and was so upset. Soft reset didn't work but the hard reset totally fixed my issue!!! Now they are back to working as beautifully as they were before!!! I need my noise cancelling for my anxiety when I go out in public and when I study for school. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!! Definitely works!!!! Saved me money and made me happy!!!
The anxiety part is i think why most people use this headphone 🤣🤣 very relatable
I was about to smash 💥 these phones! I literally have them on more often then I don’t. I sleep with em on, they help me get a peaceful night sleep. The light wouldn’t turn on all day, until I held both buttons down. My light came on right away:) thanks you so much ❤️🍀❤️🍀❤️
I’m over here slamming my shit to try and get it to work
The same for me !!!
