Customer Ratings & Reviews

Hi Sonyxm4,
We're sorry to hear the issues that you are experiencing with the XM4 headphones. This is definitely not the experience we want you to have. May we know if you still have the unit? If so, we'd like to help troubleshoot and resolved the problem. Please try some solutions on these links below to resolved issues with the headphones:

Multipoint connection works with only two devices at a time. A third device can be connected through Bluetooth, however, the Bluetooth connection with the last device that played music will stay connected and the second device will be disconnected in order for the third device to establish the Bluetooth connection with the headphones.

How to use multipoint connection through phone and a computer: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wh-1000xm4/articles/00249936

To prevent the unit from falling, adjusting the headband and the earpads properly can help for a firmer hold and better noise canceling experience. These headphones also are not designed for sports.

Hi Justme, thanks for choosing and purchasing our product. We're glad you like the battery of the WH1000XM4. We're sorry to hear that you have issues with your Sony unit.

For random shut off, please make sure that your headphones have the latest software update. You can check for updates using the Sony Headphones Connect app. Please check the Auto Power Off Setting. he headphones may automatically turn off after 15 minutes of not being worn. You can disable this feature through the Sony Headphones Connect app. Verify the battery level when the issue occurs. If the battery is low, charge the headphones fully and see if the problem persists.

For sound issue on the left side, please make sure that the connected device is as close as possible to the left side of the headphones, which houses the built-in antenna. This can help improve the Bluetooth signal strength. Please make sure that the earbuds are properly fitted in your ears. Sometimes, an improper fit can cause volume imbalance. Try changing the earbuds to another size that comfortably and snugly fits both ears. The best size earbuds may be different for the left and right ears.

If the issue persists, please initialize the unit by following this link:
