Great Sound Quality When They’re Not Cutting Out.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They sound great. I like being able to listen to podcasts while I’m cooking, for example. They also have good battery life. When fully charged, these headphones will likely last 3-4 days before fully running out of power. Unfortunately, these headphones have problems with randomly cutting out and cutting briefly. It happens often enough to impact the listening experience. I don’t know if this is only a problem on PC, but Sony really needs to fix this problem. I’m somewhat satisfied with this product, but, if I need to replace these headphones, I’ll try a different brand. I’m not likely to recommend this product, unless there’s a fix I don’t know about.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback, BeezKneez.
We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the sound quality and impressive battery life of your WH-1000XM4 while cooking and listening to podcasts! However, we are very sorry to hear about the audio cutting out. We understand how frustrating it is when the listening experience is interrupted.
Since you mentioned using them with a PC, this behavior can sometimes be related to Bluetooth driver settings or interference. We’d love to help you find a fix so you can keep enjoying your headphones. Please reach out to our support specialists at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact so we can walk you through some specific steps or check for a firmware update.
We value your loyalty and want to make sure these remain your go-to headphones!
Thank you for choosing Sony.

good but not good for video calls
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Active noise canceling is very good, it reduces the background to a great extent. can't wear for more than 2 hours at a stretch as it starts hurting my ear and head, unless I take it off for a second and put it back. not a right product for people like me taking zoom / webex / teams calls all day long. Missing the following features which is expected in expensive gadgets like this one. - Can't mute my zoom call from the headphone unit - it can't cut the background noise for people on the other end of my meetings - there is little lag in voice transfer when I speak on zoom meeting - when it is connected to laptop (windows 10) and iPhone, sometimes it disconnects my zoom audio on its own while i'm talking, not sure if this is messing up speak to chat feature. - when connected to conf. call from phone and tap on play/pause button, it kicks me out of the meeting. may be this is just built for music lovers in mind. heading to return this back.

Posted .Hi Hassan,
We're glad that you like the noise canceling function of the headphones. It's unfortunate you are already looking to return the headphones because of their comfort and call quality.
Make sure to adjust the headband for optimum fit and comfort. You may be experiencing a symptom called listener fatigue. That is where your eardrums work hard to manage the volume that flows through your ear canal. The louder the volume, the bigger the strain on your eardrums, which then causes the feeling of fatigue. Try lowering the volume or take a break from wearing them for a while. The longer you wear headphones, the more your ears may hurt. You may need to limit your headphone usage.
It is recommended to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance.
Sony takes all feedback seriously. Rest assured that this will help us improve our products. Hope the steps above improve your experience. Thanks for sharing your review and for choosing Sony.
