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.

Great sound quality, poor Bluetooth
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The customization, the sound quality, and the noise cancellation is the best experience with any headphone I’ve used so far! But the Bluetooth connection with my computer is a big let down. I’ve tried multiple computers and I’ve gotten noticeable sound delay, it makes watching videos unbearable. I’m forced to use wired connection when using a computer to get the full experience, but I would prefer to have a wireless experience.

Posted .Hi Nwonknu, while we are glad that you like the customization, sound quality, and the noise cancellation, we regret that the sound is delayed when paired with your computer. This is definitely not the listening experience we want you to have.
Due to the characteristics of Bluetooth® wireless technology, there may be a delay in audio playback when viewing videos. Also, a slight delay occurs in the receiving end when making calls or during music playback.

Great sound
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was hesitant at first buying such expensive wireless headphones but they really are worth it. I bought it for my husband for Christmas. They have excellent sound cancellation because when he has them on sometimes I’m having a whole conversation and I realize he didn’t hear I word I said! So if you feel like not listening to the world around you then these are definitely for you.
