      Hi Goretex,

      Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your WH1000XM4. While we're glad you like the exceptional noise cancelling and sound quality of the headphones, it's unfortunate to hear that you're hearing unwanted noise on your headphones. This is definitely not the experience we'd like to hear from you. Good to know you're utilizing the built-in equalizer on the Sony Headphones Connect app. Resetting and initializing the unit may help resolve the issue. We also recommend updating the headphones on the latest firmware version. The software includes key features, applications, bug fixes, and feature improvements.

      We regret to know that the unit had to be returned. Your feedback about the static on one side of the headphones is greatly appreciated. Rest assured that this will help us improve our products.
      We hope you will consider Sony again in a future purchase.

      Regards,
      Jess Sony_US

    I wish I would've returned these right away, but it was my first pair of wireless headphones for work and I was excited. I've had them for a couple years now and I am currently looking for different pair. Number one, to adjust any settings, you have to download the Sony app on your phone because it isn't compatible with the PC. So, whenever the darn thing goes into "Speak to Chat" mode on its own just by taking it on and off, I have to disconnect from my bluetooth on my PC and connect to the app and manually turn off this feature, which is not beneficial when I am in the middle of important meetings and working - relying on getting audio. But nope, not with these headphones. Apparently, you can turn off the STC with two fingers on the right side of the headphones, but this is just a pipedream. Recently, it has just started to cut audio for a minute at a time with me just sitting at my desk, not moving, or speaking. These are really the most user unfriendly, annoying wireless headphones ever!

      Hello ArianaJ,
      We appreciate you sharing your experience with our WH1000XM4. We apologize if you are having issues before with the Speak to Chat feature and having the app only accessible via smartphone. This is not the news nor the experience we want you to have.

      Here are some key notes for Speak to Chat feature of our XM4:
      - The Speak-to-Chat mode activates when it detects the speech of the person wearing the headset, but in rare cases it may activate in response to the voices of other people, ambient environmental sounds, transportation announcements, etc. Disable Speak-to-Chat in cases where the Speak-to-Chat mode frequently activates by accident.
      - Due to ambient noise, the speech of the person wearing the headset may not be detected, and the Speak-to-Chat mode may not activate. In this case, try speaking longer and with a louder voice. In some cases, the Speak-to-Chat mode may not activate even when speaking longer and with a louder voice in extremely noisy environments such as in an airplane.
      - Music playback is paused while the Speak-to-Chat mode is active only when connected via Bluetooth connection.
      - The connected device or playback application you are using may not support pausing of music playback.

      About the audio issue wherein it cuts off, you may try this setting the headphone to “Priority on stable connection” mode for better connection. Kindly check this link for the full details.

      Sound skips frequently.
