Connectivity issues
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The multi-device support is my only problem with this product. As an iPhone user, I did not expect seamless connectivity but I expected better. Manually selecting the headphones to connect to is an easy solution.

Posted .Hi Samcr,
We're sorry to learn the multipoint function on your WH-1000XM4 headphones doesn't work properly with an iPhone and another device. Follow these steps if you don't hear sound from the second device:
When you connect with 2 devices simultaneously with multipoint connection, depending on the connected device, the device may keep sending the silent signal even if the playback of the music or video is stopped. In this case, the headset remains connected with the device, and the connection may not be changed to another device. If the sound from the second device cannot be heard after the playback is stopped on the first device, operate in the following order and check whether the situation has improved.
• Check with the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app that the setting of [Connect to 2 devices simultaneously] is on. (Confirm that both devices are connected in the Device Currently Being Connected section of the app)
• Stop the playback of the application on the first device.
• Shut down the application on the first device.

Posted .Hi vitor,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WH1000XM4. We're glad that you like the dedicated app of the headphones. Your feedback about the touch controls is greatly appreciated. You may find these steps helpful when using the touch sensor:
-The sensor of the touch sensor control panel is built into the flat surface of the right unit. Operate within the range of the sensor.
-When you swipe your finger forward/backward or up/down on the touch sensor control panel, the touch sensor control panel may not work correctly depending on the angle at which the headset is worn or the direction your head is facing. When you swipe your finger forward/backward, make the movements perpendicular to the headband. When you swipe your finger up/down, make the movements parallel to the headband.

#1 For Noise Canceling Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'd say as of these review these are still the best Headphones on the market. At least to the standard of Noise Canceling is concerned. The set I have at least a year old and still and great condition. Until Sony or the competition can produce something better, these will remain my goto.

Sony is on another league
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Recently I bought the sony WH-1000XM4 headphones and they are just pure gold. For the people who wants the XM5s so bad and the price is an issue, you can definitely go for the XM4s. The only difference between them are the number of mics they have on the headphones itself. SIMPLY THE BEST.

Posted .Hi JohnB,
We're so glad that you are enjoying the overall performance of your WH-1000XM4 and it does have an effective noise canceling for commutes/air travel . The noise canceling function primarily works for noise in the low-frequency band (train, airplane, engine noise). Although noise is reduced, it is not canceled altogether. To ensure optimal performance with noise canceling, please refer to the steps and guidelines from the link below.

ghastly
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I HATE these headphones. I will give Sony this much, the sound is markedly better than my WH-1000XM2 headphones. HOWEVER, the battery life is laughable and the connection with both my computer and my phone is reliable for about 5 minutes at a time. The sound canceling is brilliant, but rendered useless by streaming stability that sucks more than SlingTV. I am embarrassed that I squandered the funds on this overpackaged piece of trash. I am now a freshly-minted Sennheiser customer. It’s a shame there is no zero-star option for these reviews. If you have already ordered these things, CANCEL. Sony gets two middle fingers up for this product.

Posted .Hi MORTIMER,
We are really sorry if our WH-1000XM4 didn't live up to your expectations. This is definitely not the experience we wanted you to have. We'd like to help you troubleshoot the problem. If you haven't tried yet, please refer to the below:
For the battery life, the usage time varies depending on the setting or how they are used. To conserve battery life, turn off the DSEE HX Auto or Equalizer setting on the Sony | Headphones Connect app. The available battery life significantly decreases when these settings are used at the same time.
