Great, Connection takes longer than necessary
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these, only thing is that while they immediately say "bluetooth connected" when I turn them on, they actually take a while to pair. There's been a few awkward moments where I immediately play my music or podcast and they haven't actually connected.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your experience, Zara13!
We are thrilled that you love your WH-1000XM4—they are fantastic for both sound and industry-leading noise cancellation!
We sincerely apologize for the brief but awkward delay between the "Bluetooth connected" voice prompt and the actual functional pairing. That moment where you immediately start your audio only to have nothing play is certainly frustrating, as we aim for a completely seamless experience.
This behavior can sometimes be related to how quickly the source device (phone/laptop) completes its handshake with the headphones. To potentially smooth this out, have you tried these two steps?
Please ensure your headphones are running the latest firmware via the Sony | Headphones Connect App. We frequently issue updates that improve connection reliability and speed.
Sometimes, temporarily removing the XM4s from your device's Bluetooth list ("Forget Device") and then re-pairing them can reset the connection profile for faster linking.
If the issue persists after trying those steps, our support team can look into more advanced diagnostics. You can reach them here: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones
Thank you again for choosing Sony!

Bad software, good hardware
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quality headphones. Outdated software. Almost negative support from Sony. I had issues with this headset randomly turning the ambient mode on and off and Sony just said “get a different headset”. They don’t support the software nearly as much. Besides this the actual audio experience is very nice, comfortable and light headset with a nice rounded lower bass

Still havent had to charge them from out of the box. Purchased for use with an electronic drumset that needed to have corded headphones. Nice that these are both bluetooth and corded. Case is a plus.
