Good Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good set of headphones. Only complaint is that the microphone when on calls does not isolate noise very well.

Posted .Hi blep, Thank you for your positive feedback on the WH1000XM4. We appreciate your comment about the microphone's noise isolation during calls. The noise-canceling technology in our headphones is designed to reduce ambient noise for the user, but it does not extend to the microphone used for calls. This means that while you benefit from reduced background noise, the person on the other end of the call may still hear some ambient sounds. We are continuously working to improve our products and your feedback is valuable in helping us enhance the user experience. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam

Trouble Charging
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked really good for about a year or so then I began to have trouble charging them. I used them a couple times a week for the first four months then accidentally left them at home when I went on a six month trip. When i started using them again they worked just fine but after about two months of consistent, 6 days a week use, they just seemed to stop charging. I bought new chargers and everything yet they only charged on a whim. I guess “technically” they will charge but it’s basically on a hope and dream. Other than that the headphones work great.

Posted .Hi JaiW,
While we're glad that you like most of the features, we are sorry to hear your headphones do not charge properly. I can definitely see how this would be frustrating for you. We appreciate the steps you've gone through to isolate the issue. There are few things that you can check moreover.
Charging cannot be done.
1. Be sure to use the supplied USB Type-C cable.
2. Check that the USB Type-C cable is firmly connected to the headset and the USB AC adapter or computer.
3. Make sure that the USB AC adaptor is firmly connected to the AC outlet.
4. When charging the headset through a USB port on a computer, try the following as well:
- Make sure that the computer is turned on.
- If the computer is equipped with multiple USB ports, use another port.
- Connect the headset directly to the computer without using a USB hub.
- If the computer is in Standby (Sleep) or Hibernate mode, place it back to normal mode.
- If the computer is running on Windows 8.1, use Windows Update to update the operating system.
