Nice upgrade from the trusty XM3s!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I loved the XM3s so much I bought the 4s a couple years later and gave my wife my 3s! The primary upgrade for these is voice calls are much better! Mic works excellently now where before it was just average. Also the dual Bluetooth functionality is great to connect to phone and laptop to use for music and work calls/Teams Calls. Battery life is awesome!

Great Headset

Good Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound, especially once you tune it in the app. Wired mode for low latency is great, and I can confirm there's no weird behavior with the Bluetooth when using it with Fedora 35 workstation (apart from my poor bluetooth antenna causing some stuttering here and there.) I can't say the same for Ubuntu 21.04 however; my laptop eventually got stuck connecting to the headset profile. Turning on multiple device connectivity using the app fixed this, but be aware it also disables LDAC. Noise canceling is outstanding, and once you get a little music going the outside world just disappears. The headphones' band does start to hurt after a while, and being closed back headphones your ears can get hot. I readjust it every so often.

Great for Music, not so great for meetings
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are the best at the price for music. Excellent sound quality that allows me to hear sounds I’ve never heard before in music, it truly allows you to enjoy the music and makes it almkst feel like you’re there. However, when it comes to calls and meetings, the microphone picks up every single sound which can be a little frustrating.

Prefer Bose QC45
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Returned these and exchanged them for the Bose QC45 headphones. Why? -Way too hot and ear fatigue after 1 hour Zoom meeting. QC45s perfectly comfortable for recent 3 hour flight. -does not seamlessly pair with multiple devices. So much fiddling with Bluetooth controls to pair and re-pair between devices. Unlike QC45s, which pair seamlessly and immediately. -touch controls not very responsive. Best feature is holding hand over ear to pause music but I can live without that. -sound quality is good, but so is sound from QC45. -noise canceling is perfect but so is qc45.

Posted .Hi Matthew,
Thank you for reaching out to us. While we are glad you like the sound quality and noise canceling features of the WH1000XM4, we're sorry to hear that the headphones was returned due to discomforts while wearing the unit and pairing issues. Adjusting the headband and the earpads properly can help reduce discomfort while wearing the headphones. Multipoint is a function which allows you to connect 2 Bluetooth devices to the headset and use one device for music playback (A2DP connection) and the other for calls. Making sure that software is updated as it includes key features, applications, bug fixes, and feature improvements and multipoint connection is turned on using the Sony Headphone|Connect app may help resolved the issue. We greatly appreciate your feedback and we hope that you will shop Sony again in the future. Thanks again for purchasing Sony. - Kris
