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!

Better than Bose
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Money well spent. When it comes to NC headphones, Sony got it right with the XM3 and even better with the new XM4. Also love the Navy Blue color - very different and will stand out in a crowd. Just Go for it.
