    I had a different pair (non Sony) and they were good at first, but less than 6 months later they broke. So far these are great.

    I bought the midnight blue wh-1000XM4/L because on sale and have a problem with right side when noise canceling is on you hear like white noise and is constant and sometime you hear like a burst. I had to exchange them because of this and my second headphones have the same problem I don't know if this is only with blue headphones or other colors too.. some might say is not a big deal because when you hear music is not a concern but to me is because I own the WH-1000XM2 and they are perfect.

    I was so eager to buy these and I finally got them and disappointed is an understatement… the amount of battery time is great but they shut off randomly and I’m not sure if mine are faulty but I can definitely hear more sound on the left… honestly a waste of money..I’ve only had them a month

      Hi Justme, thanks for choosing and purchasing our product. We're glad you like the battery of the WH1000XM4. We're sorry to hear that you have issues with your Sony unit.

      For random shut off, please make sure that your headphones have the latest software update. You can check for updates using the Sony Headphones Connect app. Please check the Auto Power Off Setting. he headphones may automatically turn off after 15 minutes of not being worn. You can disable this feature through the Sony Headphones Connect app. Verify the battery level when the issue occurs. If the battery is low, charge the headphones fully and see if the problem persists.

      For sound issue on the left side, please make sure that the connected device is as close as possible to the left side of the headphones, which houses the built-in antenna. This can help improve the Bluetooth signal strength. Please make sure that the earbuds are properly fitted in your ears. Sometimes, an improper fit can cause volume imbalance. Try changing the earbuds to another size that comfortably and snugly fits both ears. The best size earbuds may be different for the left and right ears.

      If the issue persists, please initialize the unit by following this link:
