<title><![CDATA[Sony WH-1000XM6: Left earcup's 'Pause when headphones are removed' feature not working]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Recently, my xm6 headphones just stopped pausing videos when I take them off. The problem doesn't seem to be internal (or maybe I'm wrong) but it works when I take off the earpad for that side. The ANC and microphone both seem to work just fine. I have dried the earcup and It still doesn't work. How do I fix this?</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Sony WH-1000XM6: right ear speaker is dead]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I have loved the xm6, with the exception of a few gripes.  However, now mine are broken. I get no sound out of the right ear speaker. The ANC mics on the right cup may be working -- but only producing results on the left. Except for no sound, everything seems to be working on the right cup - charging, touch controls, Anyone have similar issue, or ideas how to fix, or how to approach Sony for warranty repair?</p>

<title><![CDATA[Sony ULT WEAR: Faint High-Pitched Noise in my headphones]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I'm experiencing an issue with my Sony headphones. Both my ULT Wear and WH-CH720N occasionally produce a faint high-pitched noise at varying tones after any sound has been played and the headphones become completely silent. The noise disappears as soon as audio starts playing again.</p>

<p>This issue does not happen all the time; it only occurs occasionally. It only happens when both Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and Ambient Sound mode are turned off.</p>

<p>My WH-CH720N headphones are approximately 7 months old, and my ULT Wear headphones are about 3 weeks old. I didn't notice the sound on the CH720N until I noticed it on the ULT Wear.</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Sony WH-1000XM3: Noise cancelling suddenly not working on right side.]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello all,</p>

<p>Today I was surprised when I turned on my headphones when I noticed that noise cancelling did not work on the right side.</p>

<p>Sound works fine and has no issues playing, they sound the same as they always did with noise cancelling turned off.</p>

<p>I already reset them, tried the calibration setting in the app but nothing worked.</p>

<p>Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?</p>

<p>Any troubleshooting steps?</p>

<p>Also, when I turn on noise cancelling the sound on the right is much louder than the left.</p>

<p>edit: after having switched around the mics, the effect is still the same.</p>

<title><![CDATA[Sony WH-1000XM6: Adjustable earmuff hyperextended out of headband; How do I care for it]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>The left earmuff on my XM6's can slide out of the headband after something retaining it broke. This seems to have been caused due to single ear usage or pulling off unequally.</p>

<p><strong>Important; It's working otherwise!</strong></p>

<p>The 2 earmuffs are wired together, but the wiring has this hard plastic casing that I assume runs the entire inside of the wire.</p>

<p>On the CT Scan <a href="https://www.ifixit.com/News/110673/sonys-wh-1000xm6-gets-a-repair-friendly-upgrade" target="_blank">(thank you SO much!)</a> the XM6's have this orange cable running the inside. Mine are still intact at the ends.</p>

<div class="imageBox imageBox_left"><img src="https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/YTc3QpRqTOhmA5rP.standard" width="252" height="225" class="hasMenu hasLarge" alt="Block Image" onclick="window.open(&quot;https:\/\/guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com\/igi\/YTc3QpRqTOhmA5rP.full&quot;, '', 'width=1289,height=1154')" /></div>

<p>The headphones can slide back into the headband but they are noticeably more loose than to start with. There is foam lining the inside of the headband that seems to have been torn from when the earmuffs disconnected.</p>

<p><strong>Question; What can I do to care for these now vulnerable, loose adjustable arms?</strong></p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Sony WF-1000XM4 Wireless Earbuds: White noise in unit after battery replacement]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi, community!</p>

<p>I've followed the instructions from the site to replace the batteries of a unit after the famous recurring probleem with battery drain in this model.</p>

<p>After changing the battery in the right unit, a white noise started after repair. The noise it's gone when I disable ANC, so probably has to do with the mic or the seal.</p>

<p>Does anyone had this problem before?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Sony WH-XB910N: Plastic Headphone Storage Pivot is Shattered]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>I've owned this pair for over a year, and they're beginning to disintegrate. The 910N earphones fold inward for storage, as well as having an asymmetrical range of rotation. They can pivot about 15 degrees forwards, but 90 degrees backward so that the entire thing can become as slim as possible in it's carrying case. Unfortunately the plastic pivot point has broken on my left earphone. This has left it with only 10 degrees of the front rotation functioning before the earphone becomes detatched from the headband, dangling from the connecting cable. This is an issue for transporting it. I fear the connnecting cable becoming frayed or snapped due to this.</p>

<p>I enjoy the sound quality on this pair of headphones so I'd like to continue using them, but wearing them in becoming increasingly difficult as the broken hinge gets worse and worse over time.</p>

<p>Has anyone encountered this before? I'll try and post pictures when I can. Thanks</p>

<p>j</p>

<title><![CDATA[Sony Headphone: Headphone works on 1 side only]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi everyone, after taking my headphones out of my backpack, my 3 year old Sony WH-CH710N stopped working on 1 side. I have taken it apart for a bit, and the speaker had quite some moisture what i dont understand. There are 2 cables that go to the speaker part. One has a loose connection (but i might have done that when taking apart -not sure) The speaker itself couldve been damaged by water? My question is; what is one cable, and what is the other? The cable that is loose is connected to the FB_LP and FB_LN soldering pads, so could it be something with feedback to do? Any ideas to repair this?</p>

<title><![CDATA[Sony WH-1000XM3: Battery connector broke when doing repair]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I was attempting to replace my battery for these headphones, and the one I used instead had a different connector that just looked very visually similar, and when I put it into the battery connector it did not work, and in attempting to remove it, I snapped off the battery attachment accidentally. I assume I will need to resolder the battery connector if I am to have any hope, but am wondering if people know how it connects to the circuit board, and the best way to resolder it.</p>

<p>If this is impossible, is there a way to replace the whole circuit board, or would it be better to just replace the headphones entirely? I am open to going to an outside person as my experience with soldering is still somewhat limited.</p>
