Hi Mady,

Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WH1000XM4. We're glad that you like the noise canceling function of the headphones. Your feedback about its fit and mic quality is greatly appreciated. For optimum fit and comfort, make sure that you are wearing the headphones properly and adjust the headband depending on your head shape. You may find this link helpful:

https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP0002928786.html

For optimum performance, it is recommended to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app). When using a video calling application on a computer, switch the Bluetooth connection to HFP or HSP with the computer. During a video call, sound quality may become low due to the conditions of the communication line. You can also check the settings of the app that you are using for mic sensitivity if available.

Hope this helps. In case you need further assistance, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

Hi DecentShow,

We regret to hear that you're hearing unwanted noise on your headphones. Please allow us to help you and turn this into a better experience. Make sure to update the firmware of the headphones by performing a software update (via the Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance. Doing so may resolve the issue.

You may hear noise (such as a creak, click, or static) through the WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones when traveling through tunnels, or other environments which air pressure changes easily, even if the noise canceling function is on. When the Noise Canceling function is set to ON, you may also hear a White noise (a small electrical noise with continuous static sound). If this occurs, temporarily turn off the Noise Canceling function. Also, please remove any obstacles between the antenna of the connecting Bluetooth device and the built-in antenna of the headset and keep the headset away from a microwave oven, wireless LAN device, etc.

We recommend performing the steps provided on the links below to refresh the content of your headphones.

Hi Unsatisfied, Great! We're glad to hear that you like the comfort, sound quality, and noise canceling feature.

Thank you for choosing Sony! Erin

Thank you for sharing your feedback, CarlaV.

We are pleased to hear that you generally love your WH-1000XM4 headphones, but we are very sorry to hear about the frustrating issue with disconnections during calls or when speaking, which is causing you to miss requests during work time. That is certainly not the seamless, reliable experience we intend to deliver, especially for professional use.

The WH-1000XM4 has a feature called "Speak-to-Chat" that automatically pauses music and can disconnect from a call when it detects your voice. If this feature is enabled, it may be interpreting your work conversations as a signal to pause/disconnect.

We strongly recommend checking the following in the Sony | Headphones Connect app:

Check Speak-to-Chat: Locate this setting in the app and try temporarily disabling it to see if this resolves the disconnection issue when you speak.

Check DSEE Extreme: While less likely to cause disconnections, ensuring this is off during critical calls can sometimes improve stability.

Check Firmware: Make sure your headphones are running the latest firmware update, as updates often include stability fixes for connectivity.

If disabling Speak-to-Chat does not solve the problem, please contact our support team directly. They can guide you through more in-depth troubleshooting steps:

We sincerely apologize for the disruption this has caused to your workflow and are committed to helping you resolve this quickly. Thank you for choosing Sony.

Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team
