Much potential, falls short in a vital area for me
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this headset to replace a comparable one from another brand (quality problems IMMEDIATELY after the warranty expired). Was actually looking for the 1000XM3, but seeing that this newer model was the same price made for an obvious decision to go with the newer headset. My use case may be much different than most. I live in an OLD, small apartment: the HVAC is located in a cabinet w/slatted door in my living room. This means that when I have the heat or A/C on, it is very loud and thus makes watching TV very challenging. So my main usage of this headset is for watching TV. Well, I've encountered some problems here: for one, when the headset connects to my TV (Samsung 6-series w/BT) the sound is choppy. The TV is about 7-8 feet straight ahead of me, so range & interference shouldn't be a factor - it wasn't with my other-brand headset. The only way I am able to overcome this is to ALSO connect the headset to the Sony Headset App on my smartphone, whereupon the sound stabilizes. So it's disappointing that I must employ my smartphone as a middleman to use this headset with my TV. This would be excusable if not for the other, more frustrating issue: sound sync. We've heard it before, about wireless headsets used with videos: the audio is a fraction of a second "off" and does not match what you're seeing. It does not happen EVERY time, but does occur most times, maybe 1 in 4 uses the audio is actually in sync with the video. This seems like something that can/should be resolvable with a software or firmware update. And I hope it comes soon: b/c the potential of this headset is so high and as a result I can't bring myself to return it. The sound quality is top notch - not just for wireless, but for ANY type of headset. The noise cancellation is excellent, so when my a/c is on I don't hear it at all and get beautiful & uninterrupted sound while watching television. The headset is extremely comfortable and relatively light, making it easy to ignore the fact that I'm wearing it. Touch controls work very well, and I particularly like the ambient control where cupping your hands over the outside of the ears quickly allows outside sounds in. If the headset was being used only for music listening, it'd be a 5-star rating without question, and I'm sure many feel that way. But the audio sync with video is a big problem which, again, I hope Sony will resolve soon with ne firmware.

Posted .Hi TUBuckeye29, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your WH-1000XM4. While we're glad to hear you appreciate the sound quality, noise canceling feature, comfortable and lightweight design, very responsive touch control, and ambient sound control feature of the headphones, we regret to know that you're having a Bluetooth connectivity issues and audio delay issues with the unit.
To ensure you get the best Bluetooth connection, please set the headphones
Bluetooth Connection Mode to “Priority on stable connection” using the headphones connect app. Once you've set the Bluetooth Connection Mode to “Priority on stable connection" then there is no need for the smartphone to be connected to the headphones anymore.
With regards to the audio delay, these headphones supports Bluetooth version 5.0 which effectively generates higher quality audio with shorter delay times. However, The audio playback on this unit may be delayed from that on the transmitting device, due to the characteristics of Bluetooth wireless technology. As a result, the sound may not be in sync with the image when viewing movies or playing games.
We take into consideration all feedback to improve the performance and quality of our products.
Hope this helps! Thank you for choosing Sony! -Sam
