Comfortable but doesn't work.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancellation works well. They fit well and can be used for a longer time. That being said the simultaneous connect to two devices is horrendous. I use it for connect to my laptop and a cell phone. There is a lot of interference and dropped connections. The transition between the devices is sporadic. The issues could be resolved via software updates. Would not recommend the product as it stands. Unfortunately I am stuck with an expensive product.

Posted .Hi Skwork,
While we are glad to hear that you are happy with the noise-cancelling and comfort of the WH-1000XM4 Headphones, we are sorry to hear that you are experiencing audio interference and dropped connection on the headphones, and you are having trouble with the multipoint connection. We appreciate you updating the WH-1000XM4 as this will improve the overall performance of the headphones. We'd love to troubleshoot the issues that you are having and make this a better experience for you. In the meantime, please follow these steps to troubleshoot the issues.
For the audio drop and interference, 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.
-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.
-The situation may be improved by changing the wireless playback quality settings or fixing the wireless playback mode to SBC on the transmitting device. For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the transmitting device.
-Because Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN (IEEE802.11b/g/n) use the same frequency band (2.4 GHz), microwave interference may occur and result in noise, audio dropouts, or communications being disabled if this headset is used near a wireless LAN device. In such a case, perform the following steps.
-If this headset is used within 10 m (30 feet) of a wireless LAN device, turn off the wireless LAN device.
-Use this headset and the Bluetooth device as near to each other as possible.
-If you are enjoying music with your smartphone, the situation may be improved by shutting down unnecessary apps or restarting your smartphone.
For the multipoint connection, please make sure to download the Sony | Headphones Connect app on one of the devices and make sure it has the latest update.
Both source devices must support Bluetooth capability.
When pairing the headphones with any device, make sure to select WH-1000XM4, rather than LE_WH-1000XM4 on the source device.
It may take up to one minute before WH-1000XM4 appears on the screen.
For more information and troubleshooting steps on this, you may check our related article for multipoint connection on this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wh-1000xm4/articles/00249936

QA issues but great product
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds amazing. Everything is nearly perfect. Decent rating because these are my 3rd pair. I had to return 2 of them because of a quality control issue. They had a slight static sound in one of the cups.

Good Quality Sound. Worth The Price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Chose these after researching reasonable alternatives to Apple Airpods Max and am not disappointed. Sound is impressive and noise cancellation is reasonable. My guess is that the Apple headphones are more comfortable on the head after a while, but these aren't bad at all.

Top of line wireless350.00 sound? NO
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great wireless. Too much money for sound quality. Personally got a senheiser hd 560s, a mini amp dac, and a less expensive Bluetooth headphone with pretty close to the same sound as the Sony all for the same price.
