Constant connectivity failure is product killer
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted so badly to love these headphones. They were supposed to be Sony's best ever, and I had *never* - in 40+ years - had any issue with Sony audio. The brand has earned my loyalty and trust. But the WH-1000XM4 has been a letdown of epic proportions. The pros: They're very comfortable and - when working properly - the sound quality is 9/10, perhaps even a 9.5 depending on what you're listening to. They're lightweight, yet solid state. They also have great battery life - I've used them 20+ hours without a recharge. The cons: Unfortunately, the above-mentioned sound quality is often compromised and there's no explanation for it. When watching TV in the office - I'm 9-10 feet away from it - the sound will suddenly warble for stretches of time, from as few as 10-15 seconds up to 3+ minutes. There has been less of that the past few months, but also, I have been using them progressively less and less, which could account for the apparent reduction. What's still happening with EVERY single use, however, are the dropped bluetooth connections. Whether I'm walking, working in the garage, or just sitting at my desk, the connection will drop and have to be manually re-started. It's extremely frustrating and today, I reached my wits' end. I turned them off for the final time and listed them for sale. I'm going to try the XM5s, however, if the same issues appear, I will be returning them immediately.

Best headphone
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are one of the best headphones I had for a long time. I used to use the Apple headphones but they were too heavy for me to work out in them these are the perfect ones to work out in. The sound of them is the best out of any I had so far. So if you're looking for headphones these are the ones.
