Sounds drop out a lot
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It sounds great when it works, but VERY FREQUENTLY the sound drops out for a split second. It shouldn’t be a big deal, but it happens too often … like once every 2-3minutes. And when it does, sometimes the Noise cancelling setting is off. If it was a cheaper wireless headphone, I wouldn’t be upset, but this is the top of the line from Sony, it’s frustrating.

Posted .Hi Paikasoa,
We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you are not having a complete experience because of connectivity issues. For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headphones is updated (via the Sony Headphones Connect app). Please refer to the troubleshooting steps on this link to help resolve the issue:
https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wh-1000xm4/articles/00097458
Here are the steps to reset and initialize the headphones:
Resetting the headset
-Press both the (power) button and the CUSTOM button simultaneously while charging. The headset will be reset. The device registration (pairing) information is not deleted. If the headset does not operate correctly even after resetting, initialize the headset to restore factory settings.
Initializing the headset to restore factory settings:
-Turn off the headset while the USB Type-C cable is disconnected and then press and hold the (power) button and the CUSTOM button simultaneously for 7 seconds or more. The indicator (blue) flashes 4 times, and the headset is initialized. This operation resets volume settings, etc. to the factory settings, and deletes all pairing information. In this case, delete the pairing information for the headset from the device and then pair them again.
If still not resolved or you need further assistance, please email the below information to socialsupport@am.sony.com. Apologies if you disclosed some of this information in your review and to customer service, we just want to ensure that we have your accurate details at the time of communication.

Posted .Hi Kirby717,
Thank you for the review. It is unfortunate that the unit had to be returned. We recommend adjusting the length of the headband. Put the headset on your head with the (left) mark on your left ear and the (right) mark on your right ear. There is a tactile dot on the (left) mark side.

Not as good as Bose by far
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these Sony’s to replace my Bose QC2’s and I was really disappointed with the sound quality. I wanted to love them but Metal music sounds like trash lids slamming against each other. Also the Sony headphones app is super over produced and complex and it doesn’t need to be... No one expects space age studio quality sound from headphones... Volume, Connected devices, and a simple EQ would’ve done just fine. I should’ve gotten the new Bose ote headphones.
