Multipoint doesn't work with iPhone + Mac
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own the previous model (WH-1000XM3) and love them but I bought the XM4's for their multipoint connection. I really wanted to simultaneously connect my personal iPhone 11 for music and work M1 MacBook for zoom calls. Unfortunately multipoint doesn't work for an iPhone and a Mac. Others reviewers have been okay with other device combinations, but whenever I played iPhone music I got silence (beautiful noise-cancelled silence I might add!) They didn't seem to want to switch from the MacBook even though it had no audio apps open. So I upgraded the XM4's firmware (via Sony's app), did multiple factory resets, paired and re-paired - but always the same. Spent a day at it, but ultimately returned them. If you don't need multipoint get the XM3's: They're incredibly comfortable and the ANC is unsurpassed.

Decent headphones for the money, not enough bass
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these headphones after hearing lots of good things. Pricey but I was putting it on my best buy card so it’s cool. Out of the box these don’t sound that great honestly. After watching YouTube reviews and searching Reddit, after playing with the sound levels you can get these to sound really good. Only gripe I have really is there could be some more bass. Even with the bass at max it still seems a little lacking. The touch controls are great and easy to use. I really like the noise cancellation and the fact you can put your hand over one ear and it temporarily turns off noise cancellation is really nice. Overall good headphones that sound great but if you like lots of deep bass you might want to keep looking.

Posted .Hi Michael,
We're glad that you like the touch controls, noise canceling, and user-friendly functions of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you are not having a complete experience because of the sound quality. For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headphones is updated (via the Sony Headphones Connect app). Bass quality may vary depending on the source content. You do have the option to use the equalizer function of the Sony Headphones Connect app to tailor-fit the sound quality to your needs. For more information, please refer to this link:
