Posted .Hi ZhongL,
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your WH-1000XM4 headphones are experiencing connection issues so soon after your warranty period expired. We completely understand your frustration, and we sincerely apologize for this inconvenience.
We want to help you restore the reliable performance you expect from our premium headphones. This type of intermittent disconnection can often be resolved with a few key troubleshooting steps.
Troubleshooting Steps for Connection Stability:
1. Update Firmware: Please make sure your headphones are running the latest software by checking the Sony | Headphones Connect app. Updates often include crucial fixes for stability and performance.
2. Stable Connection Mode: Within the Sony | Headphones Connect app settings, set the headset to “Priority on stable connection” mode. This dedicates more bandwidth to maintaining a solid Bluetooth link.
3. Check Your Environment: Bluetooth signals can be affected by interference. Please try to avoid using the headphones in areas with heavy signal traffic, such as near wireless LAN routers or on crowded public places (train station premises or a crowded train).
4. Initialize the headset to restore factory settings: This will restore the headphones to factory settings and clear out any cumulative software glitches that may be causing the problem. You can follow the instructions to reset the headphones here:

If the issue still persists after performing all of these steps, we highly suggest contacting our specialized Technical Support team through the link below:

Not as good as Bose by far
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these Sony’s to replace my Bose QC2’s and I was really disappointed with the sound quality. I wanted to love them but Metal music sounds like trash lids slamming against each other. Also the Sony headphones app is super over produced and complex and it doesn’t need to be... No one expects space age studio quality sound from headphones... Volume, Connected devices, and a simple EQ would’ve done just fine. I should’ve gotten the new Bose ote headphones.
