Posted .Hi Chuck,
We're happy your WH-1000XM4 headphones sound great, but apologize for the connection issue with your computer. This is often fixed by clearing the headphones' pairing history: please try performing a factory reset by holding the power and NC/Ambient button for about 7 seconds, and then attempt to re-pair with your computer.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

Replacing MS surface headphones
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are replacing my Microsoft surface 2 headphones. Both can connect to 2 devices at a time. I also loved the physical volume knob on the MS headphones. The MS headphones headband snapped due to being made of only plastic; also they cannot handle bass like these. These sound great and can handle bass. I’m careful with headphones but I’ve dropped them multiple times on a wood floor and they are good. They lose connection but it’s rare. Recommended

Bass heavy, but great
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing noise cancelation and battery life. Sound is definitely bass heavy (not neutral). Poor openness (sound coming from in head ) but that is an issue with all closed back designs. Hard to imagine doing better. You can Eq the boom out

Top of the line noise-cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancelling is the No.1 reason for buying these headphones. If noise cancelling is not your primary concern then I would recommend buying other headphones. I say this because the Bose 700 have better call quality for Teams or Zoom meetings, while other headphones have better audio quality. The audio quality of these to me is okay but a bit disappointing given the price tag. The bass is too boomy and the detail just isn't where it needs to be, this is made up for by the exceptional active noise cancelling that eliminates most exterior noise. Connection via bluetooth is easy and I appreciate the inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack option for wired connection. I use these wired with ANC on while gaming and it's great. If your phone or device supports Sony's LDAC codex then that is a plus, I can hear a slight increase in audio quality when using this mode. The headset call quality is not very good in my opinion, it's 'acceptable' but at this price range 'acceptable' is not very good.

Best headphones out right now
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I travel a lot and wanted a really nice really reliable set of headphones. I have a friend that works at a factory. He got several headphones from coworkers to sample. None of them sucked. Tried many many brand. Most had software glitches within the few minutes I tested them. Some were comfortable and some were not. Noise cancellation wasn’t very good on most. These are the total package. I’m a couple hundred hours into listening and they sound great. Not once had a software issue, and the noise cancellation is second to none. Can’t think of one negative to these babies.

Well done, guys
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Thoroughly impressed with this set. I have owned numerous headsets from solid brands including Bowers and Wilkins. This set keeps up. Range on BT is there, quality of product and sound quality is there, ease of access is there, and hell - so fast to charge. This set is here to stay. Well done, Sony. Although - I did spend 1 night so frustrated as I accidentally engaged some sort of speech to chat mode while gaming and could not for the life of me figure out how and so it took a bit to figure out how to turn it off. My own fault, I guess? But, still, do not like this feature, personally.
