Best headphones I’ve owned
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The features of these headphones are better than previous models and competitors brands. Especially the battery life is far better than I’ve ever expected. The distance from your phone and have a clear connection is amazing too.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise cancellation is great, audio adjustments are just perfect. pads are somewhat okay, wish it was a bit more comfy but i hardly use these only when I truly have enough time for some time to myself. It's worth the price for me :)

Posted .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:
Sony Support Contact: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones
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.

Amazing but made me feel sick
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ridiculously comfy. The noise-canceling is out of this world. I'd never tried ANC and these things are bonkers. The ANC actually was actually nauseating for me though, just a heads up for anyone else new to ANC out there

The hype is somewhat right.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is great. It is. Im not a radiohead to speak on highs and lows. All I know is when I put on my cans, I want it to sound clear and thump where it suppose to thump. Saying that, I feel these squeeze just a bit too much for me on the head. Also, singing along to the song would sometimes cause the music to stop. I ended up taking them back and getting the Bose 700s.

Posted .Hi LDaniel, it's unfortunate you had to return these headphones despite its great sound quality. We do appreciate your feedback about it's fit. The Speak-to-Chat function can be disabled by holding your 2 fingers to the touch sensor control panel until you hear the voice guidance say, “Speak-to-chat deactivated”. Thanks for your review and we hope you consider Sony in your future purchase. ~Ralph

Decent purchase..still figuring it out
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the headphones. It sounds great and the nose cancellation is better than any other headphones in this price range. The only thing I'm struggling with is that sometimes it keeps pausing and randomly connects and disconnects automatically which is a little annoying. I'm not sure if anyone else has faced this of if just this piece is faulty.

You can become an Introvert
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound and build quality is great. Great for working from home. However, entertainment use is tricky. It’s scary how much of an introvert you can become with these on. The app needs some revamping to make it easy to use.
