Good, but Inferior Noise Cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was not thrilled with these headphones. The noise-cancellation is inferior to the Airpod Max Pros and, while they are approximately $200-250 cheaper, it was enough of an issue for me that I returned them and then bought the Airpod Max Pros from my local Best Buy.

2. Confirm Pairing Mode: Check that the indicator light (blue) repeatedly flashes twice in a row. You will also hear the voice guidance say, “Bluetooth pairing.”
3. Select on Your Device: Open the Bluetooth settings on your Apple phone or Android tablet.
4. Find the Headphones: Look for [WH-1000XM4] in the list of available devices and select it.
5. Connection Complete: If prompted for a Passkey, enter "0000". You will hear the voice guidance confirm the connection by saying, “Bluetooth connected.”

Posted .Hi JosephB,
Thank you for bringing your connection issue to our attention and sharing your honest feedback. We understand how disappointing it is when you can’t easily connect your WH-1000XM4 headphones using the Sony | Headphones Connect app, and we sincerely apologize for the frustration.
We want to help you restore the smooth connection you expect. Please follow these two steps, which are highly effective for resetting the connection:
1. Completely uninstall the Sony | Headphones Connect app from your device, then restart your phone/tablet. Re-download and reinstall the app from the official app store. This clears old cached data and ensures a fresh setup.,
2. Reset the headset: While the headset is connected to a charging cable, press and hold both the (power) button and the CUSTOM button (or NC/Ambient button) simultaneously for about 7-10 seconds.
After performing these steps, try connecting your headphones with the app again.
If the connection is still not performing correctly, we strongly encourage you to contact our dedicated technical support team. We can walk you through further diagnostics, and provide personalized assistance to get you connected.

Complex and faulty
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These aren’t what you’d call plug-and-play. It takes about an hour to set up. Just over a month after purchasing I find myself Googling solutions to its various charging faults. I have had to do a factory reset twice and I’m about to send it back to Sony for repair.
