To activate the Speak-to-Chat mode, the headset’s automatic audio detection must be enabled in advance.
In the factory setting, Speak-to-Chat is disabled. To enable it, hold 2 fingers to the touch sensor control panel until you hear the voice guidance say, “Speak-to-chat activated”.
To disable Speak-to-Chat
Hold 2 fingers to the touch sensor control panel once again until you hear the voice guidance say, “Speak-to-chat deactivated”. -
@electrineer I seldom connect them to my phone. I mainly use them on my Macbook. Then sometimes when I sing along or talk, the feature is activated. The gesture works for some time, but the feature eventually gets activated again. It seems random.

@NeatNerdPrime definitely will try Bose next time I'm shopping for headphones.

So this might be stupid, but did you update them with an update app? I have my current ear buds. They worked great when I got them. But the phone did an OS update and it broke some stuff. I lived with that for like 2 years. Then I saw there was an update app for the ear buds. So I update the ear buds and it fixed the broken shit. I was like, doh, why I not think I can update the ear buds? Kinda felt stupid, but now they work right.

If it's made by sony, then sooner or later you will get an irresistible urge to violently dismantle it. This is inevitable.
My recommendation would be to take it somewhere quiet and beat the crap out of it as soon as you can, so that you don't have to worry about the urge coming over you when you're at work, or something.

Yep lol
Whoever worked on the speak-to-chat feature for Sony XM4 headphones deserves to have a bunch of angry orangutans pull on their nipples for 1 minute.
Why the fuck do they get activated out of the blue when I'm simply talking? It feels like I'm under the water.
And the damn feature can't be turned off permanently. You can go into the app to turn it off, but it'll get activated again. You can use the two finger gesture on the sensor to toggle it off but it will still come back. It never stays off.
These are amazing headphones, but this is my biggest pet peeve. Almost ruined them for me.
