Hi Drexel,

We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you are not having a complete experience because of call quality. For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headphones is updated (via the Sony Headphones Connect app). These steps may also help when using the mic function of the headphones:

-Re-establish the connection between the source device and the headset.
-Select HFP or HSP for the profile.
-You can also check the settings of the app that you are using for mic sensitivity if available.

Hope this improves your experience. If you need further assistance, please email the below information to socialsupport@am.sony.com.

Hi there, We're sorry to hear that you have issues with your earphones. It's unfortunate that you are not having a complete experience with the connectivity and touch controls features of the headphones. For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headphones is updated (via the Sony Headphones Connect app).

In the factory setting, the built-in proximity sensor in the left unit and the built-in acceleration sensors in each of the left and right units detect when the headset is attached to or removed from your ears, and the headset automatically controls the touch sensor control panel’s operation, powering off, pausing music playback, etc. (Wearing detection). By using the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app, you can change the settings of the wearing detection automatic music playback pause and resume function and the wearing detection automatic power off function (the battery saving function). For more information, please refer to this link:
https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP0002928786.html

The steps on this link may also help you when using touch controls of the headphones:

https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP0002758108.html

As for connectivity, Kindly try to delete pairing data, and then pair the unit and device again. You may also refer to the troubleshooting steps on this link to help resolve the issue:

https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP0002752755.html

Resetting and initializing the headset may also help resolve the issue:

Resetting the headset

-Press both the (power) button and the CUSTOM button simultaneously while charging. The headset will be reset. The device registration (pairing) information is not deleted.
If the headset does not operate correctly even after resetting, initialize the headset to restore factory settings.

Initializing the headset

-Turn off the headset while the USB Type-C cable is disconnected and then press and hold the (power) button and the CUSTOM button simultaneously for 7 seconds or more.

The indicator (blue) flashes 4 times, and the headset is initialized. This operation resets volume settings, etc. to the factory settings, and deletes all pairing information. In this case, delete the pairing information for the headset from the device and then pair them again.

And of course, the ear cups of the WH1000XM4 can be replaced. Please refer to this link for more information: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wh-1000xm4/articles/00231437.
