My Favorite Headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these during a Black Friday deal. I thought of getting the newer model. However I thought the XM4s were a better bargain. I love the app that lets you control how the headphones sound. I use these with my PC, Switch, phone and Steam Deck.

||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought it after watching review on youtube, where it was highly recommended. To add i would need to own Bose headphones to compare. Tried ne apple headphones, they are better quality, but cost twice as much.

Great Sound Quality When They’re Not Cutting Out.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They sound great. I like being able to listen to podcasts while I’m cooking, for example. They also have good battery life. When fully charged, these headphones will likely last 3-4 days before fully running out of power. Unfortunately, these headphones have problems with randomly cutting out and cutting briefly. It happens often enough to impact the listening experience. I don’t know if this is only a problem on PC, but Sony really needs to fix this problem. I’m somewhat satisfied with this product, but, if I need to replace these headphones, I’ll try a different brand. I’m not likely to recommend this product, unless there’s a fix I don’t know about.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback, BeezKneez.
We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the sound quality and impressive battery life of your WH-1000XM4 while cooking and listening to podcasts! However, we are very sorry to hear about the audio cutting out. We understand how frustrating it is when the listening experience is interrupted.
Since you mentioned using them with a PC, this behavior can sometimes be related to Bluetooth driver settings or interference. We’d love to help you find a fix so you can keep enjoying your headphones. Please reach out to our support specialists at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact so we can walk you through some specific steps or check for a firmware update.
We value your loyalty and want to make sure these remain your go-to headphones!
Thank you for choosing Sony.
