Horrible - Do Not Buy!
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wish I would've returned these right away, but it was my first pair of wireless headphones for work and I was excited. I've had them for a couple years now and I am currently looking for different pair. Number one, to adjust any settings, you have to download the Sony app on your phone because it isn't compatible with the PC. So, whenever the darn thing goes into "Speak to Chat" mode on its own just by taking it on and off, I have to disconnect from my bluetooth on my PC and connect to the app and manually turn off this feature, which is not beneficial when I am in the middle of important meetings and working - relying on getting audio. But nope, not with these headphones. Apparently, you can turn off the STC with two fingers on the right side of the headphones, but this is just a pipedream. Recently, it has just started to cut audio for a minute at a time with me just sitting at my desk, not moving, or speaking. These are really the most user unfriendly, annoying wireless headphones ever!

Posted .Hello ArianaJ,
We appreciate you sharing your experience with our WH1000XM4. We apologize if you are having issues before with the Speak to Chat feature and having the app only accessible via smartphone. This is not the news nor the experience we want you to have.
Here are some key notes for Speak to Chat feature of our XM4:
- The Speak-to-Chat mode activates when it detects the speech of the person wearing the headset, but in rare cases it may activate in response to the voices of other people, ambient environmental sounds, transportation announcements, etc. Disable Speak-to-Chat in cases where the Speak-to-Chat mode frequently activates by accident.
- Due to ambient noise, the speech of the person wearing the headset may not be detected, and the Speak-to-Chat mode may not activate. In this case, try speaking longer and with a louder voice. In some cases, the Speak-to-Chat mode may not activate even when speaking longer and with a louder voice in extremely noisy environments such as in an airplane.
- Music playback is paused while the Speak-to-Chat mode is active only when connected via Bluetooth connection.
- The connected device or playback application you are using may not support pausing of music playback.
About the audio issue wherein it cuts off, you may try this setting the headphone to “Priority on stable connection” mode for better connection. Kindly check this link for the full details.
Sound skips frequently.

Four point five ⭐️
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the sound that comes from there. I found them a bit fiddly to start with and realised you have to have only the one Bluetooth you need on...or it might not work right. But overall very happy and would give 4.5 stars if I could.

Posted .Hi Squirrel,
We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones. To use the Bluetooth function, both of the connecting devices must be registered in advance. The operation to register a device is called “device registration (pairing)”. If the device to be connected does not support one-touch connection (NFC), pair the headset and the device manually. If the device supports one-touch connection (NFC), you can pair the headset and device and establish a Bluetooth connection by simply touching the headset with the device. Once a device and the headset are paired, there is no need to pair them again. Connect to devices already paired with the headset using the methods necessary for each device.
The headset enters pairing mode automatically when you pair the headset with a device for the first time after you bought it or after you initialized the headset (the headset has no pairing information). When you pair a second or subsequent device (the headset has pairing information for other devices), press and hold the (power) button for about 7 seconds. Check that the indicator (blue) repeatedly flashes twice in a row. You will hear the voice guidance say, “Bluetooth pairing”.
We hope you continue to have a good experience with the headphones. The WH-1000XM4 is a new design, with intelligent and intuitive Ambient Sound Control features that include improvements to Multipoint connection and our industry-leading Noise Cancelation, exceptional sound quality, and Smart Listening that adjusts to your behavior and location. Thank you for choosing Sony!
