      Hi BuytheBest,

      You made the right choice! We're glad you like the sound quality of the headphones. Everything in the WF-1000XM4 headphones has been designed from the ground up. Like our new Integrated Processor V1. Specially developed by Sony, our new Integrated Processor V1 takes the noise-cancelling performance of our acclaimed QN1e chip and goes even further. Improved noise cancelling performance and Bluetooth “System on Chip” technology delivers the industry’s highest level of noise cancelling yet uses less power. Thank you for choosing Sony!

      Regards,
      David Sony_US

      Hi J2LK,
      Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're sorry to hear the issues that you are having with the WF1000XM4 headphones. Allow us to help and make this a better experience. If earbuds tips have been changed and use the right size according to the size of your ears, we suggest to gently pull on the top of your ear as you twist the headset unit to fit it snugly into the ear canal, and adjust the positioning of the headset unit until it fits comfortably. Wait for about 10 seconds for the earbud tip shape to stabilize. This should give you a firmer hold and better noise canceling experience. Please refer to this link on how to properly wear the headphones: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wf1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP1000237901.html

      When the unit is in the charging case, all operations such as turning on the unit, registering or connecting to Bluetooth devices and music playback cannot be performed. If the headphones connects while in the case, please make sure that they are inserted properly and close the lid of the charging case. Resetting or initializing the headset may also be performed if the headphones is not working properly. Please use this link as your guide: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wf1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP1000428696.html

    Wl needless to say i reviewed allt of buds before purchasing these. Watched pt of youtube reviews amd all i can say is these are not worth 278 bucks. They have connectivity issues and horrible call quality. Ill be returning these tomorrow after 8 days with them. Save your money amd buy jabra 75t my wife says calls sound better and they lasted until i washed them twice. I only didnt rebuy because i want buds that can use either left or right amd jabra didnt do that but hey these didnt either. I think youtubers are paid for their reviews because these are trash fornthe money.

      Hi Michaeloc23,

      Thank you for reaching out to us. We're sorry to hear the issues that you are having with the headphones. We'd like to help troubleshoot the device and make this a better experience for you. Please try some of these steps if your having Bluetooth connectivity issues with headset:



      Set the headset to “Priority on stable connection” mode.

      Bluetooth communications may be disabled, or noise or audio dropout may occur under the following conditions.

      - When there is a human body between the headset and the Bluetooth device

      - In this case, put the Bluetooth device in the same direction as the antenna of the headset to

      improve the Bluetooth communications.

      - When there is an obstacle, such as metal or a wall, between the headset and the Bluetooth

      device.

      - In places with wireless LAN, where a microwave oven is used, electromagnetic waves are

      generated, etc.

      - Where there are other wireless communication audio devices or other people nearby, such as in

      train station premises or on a crowded train



      You may find this links helpful if the call quality is poor:

      Hi CoyP, while we're glad that you like the sound quality, we regret that these won't stay in ears during active listening session, working out, etc. This is definitely not the experience we'd like you to have. Allow us to help and turn this into a better experience.

      Different sizes of earbud tips are supplied so that you can achieve the maximum effects of the earbuds. Ear canals vary in size from person to person, and can also vary in size from the left to the right sides. To keep the headphones from falling out, please select the right size earbud tips. We also recommend wearing the earbuds properly.
      Gently pull up on the top of your ears, put the earbud tips in your ear canal, and then twist the earbuds into place. This makes sure the earbuds are firmly in the ear canal.

      Hope this helps. Should you need further assistance, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:
