Great Sound Quality When They’re Not Cutting Out.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They sound great. I like being able to listen to podcasts while I’m cooking, for example. They also have good battery life. When fully charged, these headphones will likely last 3-4 days before fully running out of power. Unfortunately, these headphones have problems with randomly cutting out and cutting briefly. It happens often enough to impact the listening experience. I don’t know if this is only a problem on PC, but Sony really needs to fix this problem. I’m somewhat satisfied with this product, but, if I need to replace these headphones, I’ll try a different brand. I’m not likely to recommend this product, unless there’s a fix I don’t know about.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback, BeezKneez.
We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the sound quality and impressive battery life of your WH-1000XM4 while cooking and listening to podcasts! However, we are very sorry to hear about the audio cutting out. We understand how frustrating it is when the listening experience is interrupted.
Since you mentioned using them with a PC, this behavior can sometimes be related to Bluetooth driver settings or interference. We’d love to help you find a fix so you can keep enjoying your headphones. Please reach out to our support specialists at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact so we can walk you through some specific steps or check for a firmware update.
We value your loyalty and want to make sure these remain your go-to headphones!
Thank you for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team

Posted .Hi Headphones,
It's great to hear that you are enjoying the sound quality of your WH-1000XM4 headphones! We know that seamless connectivity is essential, and we want to help you get them paired with your new Samsung TV right away.
The WH-1000XM4 supports pairing with multiple devices, but sometimes an initial connection to a new source requires a specific setup to establish a solid Bluetooth link.
Please try the following steps to resolve the pairing issue:
1. Check Proximity: Make sure the headset and the TV are within 1 meter (3 feet) of each other during the pairing process.
2. Enable Manual Pairing Mode: Even if the TV's Bluetooth menu sees the headphones, they need to be actively broadcasting the pairing signal.
For pairing a second or subsequent device, press and hold the power button on the headset for 7 seconds or more to enter pairing mode.
3. Perform a Factory Reset: If the steps above don't work, a factory reset will clear all previous pairing information and restore factory settings, which often resolves connection issues.
Please follow the official guide to reset your WH-1000XM4 headphones here: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP0002752746.html
If the TV is still unable to complete the connection after these steps, please ensure that your Samsung TV supports Bluetooth headphones and that is actively scanning for new devices, as some TV models require confirmation on the screen during the pairing phase.
If you still require help or have further question, please contact our technical support team here:

Thanks for considering Sony products!
