For cell phones only. Do not buy for desktop.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Youd think a 300 dollar headset would work good with pc it doesnt. All of the audio sounds like trash when you use it on the desktop. Its only redemption is the quality of audio difference is so drastically good when using on cell phones only. The app is crazy hard to use as well. The headset has a hidden touch sense button on the right side of the headset that is easily touched to activate its function which puts the headset into call mode... the only way to disable the hidden touch button is to use the app and program it to be disabled. The wireless range isnt that good either you can about 15 feet before the signal starts cutting out on Bluetooth which is a shorter distance then a ps4 controller which has an average range of 25 feet. Also made by sony. The battery life is solid tho so if you want a long lasting headset this is the one. You can go like 16 to 20 hours on a single charge sometimes longer depending on use. I am severely disappointed in this purchase since i only wanted a new headset to use for my desktop.

Posted .Hi Evan,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WH1000XM4. We're glad that you like the sound quality and noise canceling function of the headphones. It's unfortunate that the unit turns off by itself. For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headphones is up-to-date (via the Sony Headphones Connect app). Make sure to charge the built-in battery sufficiently. Resetting and initializing the headset may also help resolve the issue. Please refer to the steps on these links:

Great for music, terrible for phone calls
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality was amazing. Loved the app and equalizer. Phone calls on the other hand were very opposite. Had so many problems with people hearing me clearly. Got a lot of echoing complaints and there’s this high crackling that comes every time you speak. I tried everything and it turns out it’s some kind of feature that’s not fixed yet that’s stems back to the m3’s. This was a deal breaker for me as I would like to at least have the option to talk on the phone with them. Phone calls were not acceptable and until they fix this, will stay at 3 stars.

Posted .Hi Joss,
We're glad that you like the sound quality and the dedicated app support (Sony Headphones Connect app) of the headphones. It's unfortunate that the call quality is not living up to your expectations. Make sure to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony app) for optimum performance.
