Trouble Charging
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked really good for about a year or so then I began to have trouble charging them. I used them a couple times a week for the first four months then accidentally left them at home when I went on a six month trip. When i started using them again they worked just fine but after about two months of consistent, 6 days a week use, they just seemed to stop charging. I bought new chargers and everything yet they only charged on a whim. I guess “technically” they will charge but it’s basically on a hope and dream. Other than that the headphones work great.

Posted .Hi JaiW,
While we're glad that you like most of the features, we are sorry to hear your headphones do not charge properly. I can definitely see how this would be frustrating for you. We appreciate the steps you've gone through to isolate the issue. There are few things that you can check moreover.
Charging cannot be done.
1. Be sure to use the supplied USB Type-C cable.
2. Check that the USB Type-C cable is firmly connected to the headset and the USB AC adapter or computer.
3. Make sure that the USB AC adaptor is firmly connected to the AC outlet.
4. When charging the headset through a USB port on a computer, try the following as well:
- Make sure that the computer is turned on.
- If the computer is equipped with multiple USB ports, use another port.
- Connect the headset directly to the computer without using a USB hub.
- If the computer is in Standby (Sleep) or Hibernate mode, place it back to normal mode.
- If the computer is running on Windows 8.1, use Windows Update to update the operating system.

Do NOT buy these
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've never been more infuriated by a pair of headphones. I'm honestly shocked that these have any good reviews. I used to have an older, cheaper version of these that cracked and broke so I decided to buy this model and that was a huge mistake. Here's why I hate them: (1) They disconnect from whatever they're paired with for no reason over and over and over again. (2) When they are connected, the idiotic "speak to chat" feature is automatically enabled each time you turn the headphones on. You can turn it off, but it automatically turns itself back on at random, so anytime you make a sound while wearing the headphones (like sneezing, breathing, opening the fridge door, anything that produces an audible noise) the sound automatically pauses. (3) The Bluetooth voice that says "Power on," "Power off", "Bluetooth connected", etc is at MAX volume and there is no way to adjust it. It is WAY TOO LOUD. In conclusion, these headphones are horrible and I'm so mad that I wasted any money on them.

Posted .Hi Emily,
We sincerely apologize that the WH-1000XM4 headphones have caused you this level of frustration. We want to help resolve these issues: For the disconnections, please ensure the headphones' firmware is updated and try resetting them to factory settings via the Sony | Headphones Connect app. You can permanently disable 'Speak-to-Chat' in the app; if it keeps reactivating, this is usually solved by a firmware update or a full reset. The volume of the voice guide is linked to the system volume of your connected device, so please try lowering that volume before powering on the headphones. If these steps do not help, please reach out to our support team for a deeper troubleshooting session: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US
Thanks for choosing Sony.
