Excellent Choice for Music
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are fantastic for music! Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the microphone picks up background noise, so not useful for use in Skype/Zoom/Teams meetings. The touch controls take a little getting used to, but once comfortable with it they work perfectly. Upgraded from WH-1000XM2 which are great too - well worth the upgrade.

Great Sound Quality When They’re Not Cutting Out.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They sound great. I like being able to listen to podcasts while I’m cooking, for example. They also have good battery life. When fully charged, these headphones will likely last 3-4 days before fully running out of power. Unfortunately, these headphones have problems with randomly cutting out and cutting briefly. It happens often enough to impact the listening experience. I don’t know if this is only a problem on PC, but Sony really needs to fix this problem. I’m somewhat satisfied with this product, but, if I need to replace these headphones, I’ll try a different brand. I’m not likely to recommend this product, unless there’s a fix I don’t know about.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback, BeezKneez.
We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the sound quality and impressive battery life of your WH-1000XM4 while cooking and listening to podcasts! However, we are very sorry to hear about the audio cutting out. We understand how frustrating it is when the listening experience is interrupted.
Since you mentioned using them with a PC, this behavior can sometimes be related to Bluetooth driver settings or interference. We’d love to help you find a fix so you can keep enjoying your headphones. Please reach out to our support specialists at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact so we can walk you through some specific steps or check for a firmware update.
We value your loyalty and want to make sure these remain your go-to headphones!
Thank you for choosing Sony.

Great sound, horrible mic
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound and noise canceling are both amazing, so if you are planning on just using these to listen to music or watch movies they are a great choice. However the built in mic is horrible. My girlfriend said it sounded like I was in a tiny room and was talking quietly, so I ended up returning them to get a different pair.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very quiet headphones and generally comfortable. After about 2 hours they do become a bit less comfortable on ears but a quick break fixes that. Good mic quality and the app allows for customization.
