What to say if you didn’t hear someone?

Normally when I’m speaking Spanish to someone and I didn’t hear what they said, I’ll say “qué?”, but I’m wondering that sounds a bit unnatural. I think I’ve heard native speakers say “cómo?” instead, but I’m not sure if that’s a misinterpretation.

Also I might try “perdón, no te escuché” - but does that imply that I wasn’t listening, instead of I didn’t hear them?

Thanks for any advice!

The most natural response for me is cómo, that's what I've heard the most and what has become ingrained as a I didn't hear perfectly or didn't entirely understand what they said.
