Posted .Hi Javier,
Many thanks for the 5-star rating! We're glad to hear you like the superb sound and noise canceling features of your WH1000XM4 headphones. Bluetooth communications may be disabled, or noise or audio dropout may occur under the following conditions:
When there is a human body between the headset and the Bluetooth device
In this case, put the Bluetooth device in the same direction as the antenna of the headset to improve the Bluetooth communications.
When there is an obstacle, such as metal or a wall, between the headset and the Bluetooth device
In places with wireless LAN, where a microwave oven is used, electromagnetic waves are generated, etc.
Where there are other wireless communication audio devices or other people nearby, such as in train station premises or on a crowded train.

Great headphones. Multi-device support needs work.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these both for working from home and for music. I could not be happier with the noise cancellation for work. Calls sound a bit robotic, but I can really focus. My biggest gripe is the switching between laptop ( Mac ) and phone. Disconnecting from the laptop enables the multi-device pairing option to allow the phone to play music. It is easy to connect back to the laptop. I wish it was a bit more automatic.
