Posted .Hi tjmanou,
Thank you for an amazing review. We're happy to hear you like the noise canceling feature of the XM4 headphones. We're sorry to hear that you are having sound issues when PC is connected to WIFI. 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.
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.
The WH-1000XM4 is a new design, with intelligent and intuitive Ambient Sound Control features that include improvements to Multipoint connection and our industry-leading Noise Cancelation, exceptional sound quality, and Smart Listening that adjusts to your behavior and location. The noise canceling function is effective in low-frequency ranges such as airplanes, trains, offices, near air-conditioning, and is not as effective for higher frequencies, such as human voices. Thanks for sharing your review and for choosing Sony! - Kris

Broken: High Pitched Ringing in Right Ear Cup
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They were amazing in sound quality, noise reduction, and battery life till they broke 6 months later. High pitched ringing noise in the right ear cup that is so loud that it could cause damage to your ear. I strongly suggest you getting a warranty from where you buy them because this really sucks. I tried all the tricks on their site to fix them, none worked.

Good, but i returned them.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancellation ability was great, but the bass was lacking. I like to hear all frequencies at a higher level. These did not live up to my expectations in the bass department.

THE XM4s ARE NOT WHAT YOU THINK.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my review of the xm4. The good: sound, noise canceling. but those are things you’d expect. Now on to the bad: WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SURROUND SOUND. had this feature on my XM2s but now the new thing is “360 reality audio” which only works with deezer or tidal. sony is making a big deal out of something that such a small amount of people can use. The app is garbage. crashes when installing the firmware update, randomly sends notifications about ambient sound being turned on AFTER I HAD ALREADY TURNED IT OFF. Sony really could’ve just kept some popular features with the headphones but nope a multibillion dollar company just needs more money.
