Posted .Hi ZhongL,
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your WH-1000XM4 headphones are experiencing connection issues so soon after your warranty period expired. We completely understand your frustration, and we sincerely apologize for this inconvenience.
We want to help you restore the reliable performance you expect from our premium headphones. This type of intermittent disconnection can often be resolved with a few key troubleshooting steps.
Troubleshooting Steps for Connection Stability:
1. Update Firmware: Please make sure your headphones are running the latest software by checking the Sony | Headphones Connect app. Updates often include crucial fixes for stability and performance.
2. Stable Connection Mode: Within the Sony | Headphones Connect app settings, set the headset to “Priority on stable connection” mode. This dedicates more bandwidth to maintaining a solid Bluetooth link.
3. Check Your Environment: Bluetooth signals can be affected by interference. Please try to avoid using the headphones in areas with heavy signal traffic, such as near wireless LAN routers or on crowded public places (train station premises or a crowded train).
4. Initialize the headset to restore factory settings: This will restore the headphones to factory settings and clear out any cumulative software glitches that may be causing the problem. You can follow the instructions to reset the headphones here:
https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP0002752746.html
