      Hi CesarT,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WH1000XM4. We're glad that you like the sound quality and noise canceling function of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you are experiencing connectivity issues.

      For optimum performance, make sure to update the software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app). You may also find these steps helpful:

      -Set the headset to “Priority on stable connection” mode using the Sony Headphones Connect app.
      -Remove any obstacles between the antenna of the connecting Bluetooth device and the built-in antenna of the headset.
      -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.
      >When 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.
      >Where there are other wireless communication audio devices or other people nearby, such as in train station premises or on a crowded train.

      Additional troubleshooting steps are available on this link:

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

      Resetting and initializing the headset may also help resolve those issues:

      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.

      Hope this helps. If still not resolved or you need further assistance, please email the below information to socialsupport@am.sony.com.

    These are great on a plane. I can cancel out sounds. I can listen to music. They are comfortable to wear. I absolutely can NOT use them for work. I work from home and the sound quality is horrid. I purchase other headphones that are a fith of the cost of these that were 1000x better in call sound quality.

    Came from the AirPods Pro over to these and not looking back. Amazing quality and robust features - still finding more. The Midnight Blue color is sick. Only drawback is that your ears and head will need a break after a few hours.

    The noise cancelling at these XM4 is still one of the best in the market. The call quality continues to be average as the update on the microphone appears to be very small compared with XM3 version. Having the ability to pair two devices simultaneously is the main and probably only justification if you want to upgrade from XM3.
