someone speaking to you or to boost
your awareness of your surroundings.
Unfortunately, this feature can’t
be enabled as a full time mode –
again, like on the WH-1000XM3 – as
I sometimes like the option to be on
for longer than I’m willing to hold
the button down for. Hopefully, this
can be implemented
via a software update
as it is the feature I
missed the most from
Sony’s product.
One feature that
is appreciated is the
auto play/pause that is
engaged when putting
the headphones on and
taking them off. Even
most high-end ANC
headphones lack thatfeature, and frankly,
it was easier and
faster to take the
headphones off and
pause my music to
speak with someone
than it was to find
and hold down the
NC/Ambient button.
On the right can is
where the volume up
and down buttons are,
with a recessed multi-
function button placed in between.
The middle multi-function button is
used for things like play/pause and
engaging a phone’s personal assistant.
I had no problem finding and engaging
these buttons, which are large enough
and placed evenly across the back
side. The control set-up on the OpusLeft ear cup on top.
