Hey Shane! Thank you so much for that fantastic review. We are so pleased to hear you consider the WH-1000XM4 the best noise-canceling headphones you've ever used! That's exactly what we love to hear.

You've put your finger on the exact reason why! The powerful noise-canceling is made possible by our HD Noise-Canceling Processor QN1. We've packed each earcup with two microphones that work together to capture all that external noise. Thanks to a clever algorithm, the processor then zaps that noise out in real time, giving you a truly distraction-free listening experience. It's rewarding to know we got it right for you.

Thank you again for choosing Sony and for sharing your experience. We truly appreciate your strong recommendation!

Best regards,
Gus, Sony Social Media Team

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.
