    Great value, superior sound quality and comfortable fit! The only issue is the connectivity to multiple devices since that functional is not as seamless as advertised.

      Hi Cujo,

      We're glad that you like the sound quality and comfort of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you are not having a complete experience because of the multipoint function. For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headphones is up-to-date (via the Sony Headphones Connect app). Make sure to also follow the steps on this link when using the multipoint function:

      https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wh-1000xm4/articles/00249936

      You may also find this link helpful:
      https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wh-1000xm4/articles/00255680

      Depending on the device, silent streaming can continue on the first device when the second device has a Bluetooth connection to the headphones. If this is the case, the headphones remain connected to the first device, and the audio doesn't switch to the second device. Follow these steps to hear sound from the second device:

      1. Open the Sony | Headphones Connect app, select the System tab, and make sure the Connect to 2 devices simultaneously option is set to ON.
      2. Stop playback on the first connected device.
      3. Close the audio (music) application on the first connected device.

      Hope this helps. In case you need further assistance, please email the below information to socialsupport@am.sony.com.
