Posted .Hi Headphones,
It's great to hear that you are enjoying the sound quality of your WH-1000XM4 headphones! We know that seamless connectivity is essential, and we want to help you get them paired with your new Samsung TV right away.
The WH-1000XM4 supports pairing with multiple devices, but sometimes an initial connection to a new source requires a specific setup to establish a solid Bluetooth link.
Please try the following steps to resolve the pairing issue:
1. Check Proximity: Make sure the headset and the TV are within 1 meter (3 feet) of each other during the pairing process.
2. Enable Manual Pairing Mode: Even if the TV's Bluetooth menu sees the headphones, they need to be actively broadcasting the pairing signal.
For pairing a second or subsequent device, press and hold the power button on the headset for 7 seconds or more to enter pairing mode.
3. Perform a Factory Reset: If the steps above don't work, a factory reset will clear all previous pairing information and restore factory settings, which often resolves connection issues.
Please follow the official guide to reset your WH-1000XM4 headphones here: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP0002752746.html
If the TV is still unable to complete the connection after these steps, please ensure that your Samsung TV supports Bluetooth headphones and that is actively scanning for new devices, as some TV models require confirmation on the screen during the pairing phase.
If you still require help or have further question, please contact our technical support team here:

Thanks for considering Sony products!
Regards,

Good Sometimes but not all the time.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had these headphones for a couple days with hours of listening but returned them. The noise canceling feature was amazing when it worked. My AC was almost completely silenced and noises while running errands were much quieter, making my audio content much more engrossing. If you’re a bass head, you will be underwhelmed but if you like a nice balance of highs, mids, and a decent amount of low frequencies, you’ll like these. Unfortunately the pair I bought started to develop a slight hissing noise. It sounded like wind in a microphone or the faint sound of a waterfall in the distance. The hissing sound would take me out of the experience of my music or podcast. Whenever there was a pause in a conversation or a fade out of music, I would start to notice the hiss. I thought switching between devices would be easy but it was cumbersome. Switching from an iPad to an iPhone took some effort, having to restart the app or switch off Bluetooth on one device. The app isn’t properly designed for the iPad either so you’ll either have thick black borders or a stretched UI meant for phones. I will reconsider purchasing these headphones again since I hear so much praise for Sony’s noise canceling tech but I will wait a few months. By then I hope manufacturing, software, and firmware is refined to avoid this problem. Best Buy has been great and I will continue shopping here for years.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi TurtleScarf, we're glad that you like the noise canceling function of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you had to return these headphones because of the hissing sound. Resetting and initializing the headset might have resolved this issue. The multipoint function ( Connecting the headset to 2 devices simultaneously) must be turned on using the Sony Headphones Connect app.
We appreciate this honest review. Rest assured that this feedback would help us improve the quality and performance of our products. We hope you consider Sony in your future purchase.
