Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback, CarlaV.
We are pleased to hear that you generally love your WH-1000XM4 headphones, but we are very sorry to hear about the frustrating issue with disconnections during calls or when speaking, which is causing you to miss requests during work time. That is certainly not the seamless, reliable experience we intend to deliver, especially for professional use.
The WH-1000XM4 has a feature called "Speak-to-Chat" that automatically pauses music and can disconnect from a call when it detects your voice. If this feature is enabled, it may be interpreting your work conversations as a signal to pause/disconnect.
We strongly recommend checking the following in the Sony | Headphones Connect app:
Check Speak-to-Chat: Locate this setting in the app and try temporarily disabling it to see if this resolves the disconnection issue when you speak.
Check DSEE Extreme: While less likely to cause disconnections, ensuring this is off during critical calls can sometimes improve stability.
Check Firmware: Make sure your headphones are running the latest firmware update, as updates often include stability fixes for connectivity.
If disabling Speak-to-Chat does not solve the problem, please contact our support team directly. They can guide you through more in-depth troubleshooting steps:
Sony Support Contact: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones
We sincerely apologize for the disruption this has caused to your workflow and are committed to helping you resolve this quickly. Thank you for choosing Sony.

Better than Bose 700
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Expensive, but better than bose 700. Sony sound quality is better and does not nickel and dime you for every little thing like bose. Bose is selling a portable usb link to help with the connectivity of the bose 700. They are trying to make more money by solving a problem in their headphones, which is the connectivity. Sony headphones connect to my pc, but bose 700 glitches.

Great headphone and plenty of features
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Builds on the XM3 and adds more to what's already great. No issues with it at all. Only thing that can get a little annoying are the various movement profiles since sometimes I'll be moving a little bit which will trigger a profile movement change

Best over the ear headphones I've owned

Good cans. They gave me a headache...
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony XM4's have great sound. I compared them with the Bose Q45s to see which sounded better and most comfortable. The XM4s sound was ok. It didn't blow my socks off. I think sound is subjective. Comfort-wise, the Sony's gave me a headache. I could not wear them all day when focusing when I am WFH. Too much squeeze on my head. Many reviews say that the XM4s are some of the best on the market. (I didn't try the XM5 because I want folding headphones.) However, I preferred the lighter, smaller profile Q45s over the heavier XMs. ANC was about equal. I also tried the new Beats Studio Pro that recently came out. I loved the sound. They were NOT comfortable. So.... the XM4 are good cans. I liked them. However, I prefer my Q45s. I forget they are on my head.

Great headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You won’t go wrong with these if your want a good over ear headphone with all the bells and whistles. It’s way too big for my head though, so if you have a tiny head like me then you might not find these as comfortable as others.

Posted .Hi Katy, Glad to hear that you are happy with the sound quality and features of your new WH-1000XM4 headphones. To reduce discomfort while wearing the headphones, try adjusting the headband and the earpads properly. These headphones actually support super-soft, pressure-relieving earpads in foamed urethane evenly distribute pressure and increase ear/pad contact for a stable fit.
Regards,
Carl

Sound vs Distance
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In comparison to my B&W PX7 these are close in comfort and ease of use. The radio is stronger and goes about 10 feet further in a straight line and 3 to 5 feet side to side. The sound is not as deep and pronounced as the B&W's but for general use its good. So trade off sound or distance. B&W's material feels finer (Carbon) and controls a little easier.

Top ANC in class again
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Other than a terrible name, Sony has done it again. The XM4 is a slight upgrade of the XM3 and if you are coming from the XM3 it is probably best to wait for the XM5. If you are on older headphones though or new to ANC headphones these are amazing
