||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like the noise cancelling. I compared it with the lower priced Sony headphones, and the difference is huge. Of course they are $100 more than the lower one.

XM4 Best Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best pair of headphones I have ever had, I used to have a pair of Beats Studios and those broke on me and were also pretty heavy. The XM4s have great functionality with their touch pads which make switching songs, and changing the volume feel effortless .

Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback, CarlaV.
We are pleased to hear that you generally love your WH-1000XM4 headphones, but we are very sorry to hear about the frustrating issue with disconnections during calls or when speaking, which is causing you to miss requests during work time. That is certainly not the seamless, reliable experience we intend to deliver, especially for professional use.
The WH-1000XM4 has a feature called "Speak-to-Chat" that automatically pauses music and can disconnect from a call when it detects your voice. If this feature is enabled, it may be interpreting your work conversations as a signal to pause/disconnect.
We strongly recommend checking the following in the Sony | Headphones Connect app:
Check Speak-to-Chat: Locate this setting in the app and try temporarily disabling it to see if this resolves the disconnection issue when you speak.
Check DSEE Extreme: While less likely to cause disconnections, ensuring this is off during critical calls can sometimes improve stability.
Check Firmware: Make sure your headphones are running the latest firmware update, as updates often include stability fixes for connectivity.
If disabling Speak-to-Chat does not solve the problem, please contact our support team directly. They can guide you through more in-depth troubleshooting steps:
Sony Support Contact: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones
We sincerely apologize for the disruption this has caused to your workflow and are committed to helping you resolve this quickly. Thank you for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team
