Good Headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They say you can’t ever see two best friends that are also headphones but when I listen to these headphones the harmony of the headphones to my ears means there are two best friends in the industry. I pray you read this in full just to regret it at the end.

Posted .Hi HeadphoneGuy99,
We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you haven't had an easy time connecting devices. 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). The headset enters pairing mode automatically. 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.
For more information, please refer to this link:

Posted .Hi MikieS,
Many thanks for the 5-star rating! We're happy to hear you love your WH1000XM4 headphones. However, we're sorry if the battery doesn't last long. Usage hours may be different depending on the settings and conditions of use. To conserve battery life, turn off the DSEE HX Auto or Equalizer setting on the Sony | Headphones Connect app. Note: The available battery life significantly decreases when these settings are used at the same time.

Alot of money to hear "disconnected" constantly.
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They worked great at first. Now I'm having the disconnected issue. Every 5-15min the headphones disconnect and then reconnect. Its really annoying and irritating. I think sony is bricking them on purpose like apple did. Unfortunately for them, Ill buy bose next time. Fix your headphones sony!

Creaking/popping noise
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones are very good. I love the sound and the noise cancelling is top notch. My main issue with my unit is the left earcup/band makes some kind of subtle creaking sound/popping noise whenever i move my head. It is quite distracting when I am trying to listen to music. I expected better quality control considering this is a $350 headset.
