2. Increase the volume using the volume controls on your device.
If you are connected to your phone or another device, you can also use the volume controls on your device to increase the volume of your Sony WH-1000XM4.
3. Use the Adaptive Sound Control feature.
The Adaptive Sound Control feature automatically adjusts the noise canceling settings based on your environment. It can also be used to adjust the volume. To use the Adaptive Sound Control feature, open the Sony Headphones Connect app and tap on the “Adaptive Sound Control” tab.
4. Use the Clear Bass feature.
The Clear Bass feature enhances the bass response of the headphones. This can make the sound seem louder. To use the Clear Bass feature, open the Sony Headphones Connect app and tap on the “Sound” tab.
5. Use the EQ settings.
The Sony Headphones Connect app allows you to customize the EQ settings of the headphones. You can adjust the bass, treble, and other frequencies to make the sound seem louder.

7. Clean the earpads: If the earpads are dirty or clogged, they may not be able to seal properly around your ears. This can reduce the amount of sound that is transmitted to your ears. Clean the earpads regularly with a soft cloth.
8. Replace the earpads: If the earpads are worn out, they may not be able to seal properly around your ears. This can also reduce the amount of sound that is transmitted to your ears. Replace the earpads if they are worn out.
By following these tips, you can increase the volume on your Sony WH-1000XM4. However, it is important to note that there is no guarantee that these tips will work for everyone. The loudness of the headphones will also depend on the environment and the audio source.
