Quick charging gives five hours of playback with just a 10-minute charge.

Using our advanced noise canceling technology, we designed these headphones so you can block out noise and experience next-level silence. Plus, you have the ability to use the convenient smart features including Quick Attention, Google Assistant/Alexa/Siri compatibility, and touch controls. Thanks for choosing Sony.

    I’m really disappointed in these headphones. I was trying to replace my older Bose, and these had decent reviews. The sound quality is nice when listening to music. However, the mic is terrible! Nobody hears me when I’m talking to them through my phone. I’m returning these because of the mic issue. For the price I paid, I expect the microphone to at least function. I’ll stick with Bose.

      Hi ShouldHaveStuckWithBose, thank you for reaching out to us. While we're glad that you like the sound quality, we regret that you're having an issue with the microphones. This is definitely not the listening experience we'd like you to have. We'd love to help you troubleshoot your problem and turn you experience around.

      Please try the following to help improves call quality.
      Check that both the headset and the connected device (i.e., smartphone) are turned on.
      Turn up the volume of the connected device and the volume of the headset if they are too low.
      Check the audio settings of the Bluetooth device to make sure the sound is output from the headset during a call.
      Use the Bluetooth device to re-establish the connection. Select HFP or HSP for the profile.
      If you are listening to music with the headset, stop playback and tap the touch sensor control panel twice quickly (with an interval of about 0.4 seconds) to respond to an incoming call.

      You may also try resetting and initializing the headphones if the microphone cuts off the music even when you are not on a call. Reference: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP0002752743.html

      Please also ensure your headphones' software is updated. You can check and update the software using the Sony | Headphones Connect app.

    Good ANC headphones but Sony lags behind Apple

    Good sounds. Great ANC. Good build quality. A must but when on sale. The “smart” features are a hit or miss though. Some really dumb limitations as well like only remembering two devices! Come on Sony, why can Apple do more and you cannot?! The sensor that detects if you have the headphones on doesn’t work if you’re laying on the bed... what a terrible design. Overall, Sony’s software development is far behind Apple when it comes to designing smart features for devices. I don’t recommend these headphones at full price, but at $278 it’s a must buy.
