Hi RedCat152, Thanks for reaching out. We are very sorry to hear about the inconveniences you are having with your unit. This is certainly not the quality we aim for, and we sincerely apologize for your frustrating experience with our support system. We understand your frustration and want to provide you with some troubleshooting steps that have helped many users with charging issues: 1. Check Your Charging Cable and Adapter: Make sure you are using the USB-C cable that came with your headphones. Also, try using a different USB wall adapter or plugging the headphones into a different USB port, like on a computer. 2. Perform a Reset: While the headphones are on, simultaneously press and hold the power button and the NC/Ambient button for about 10 seconds. The indicator will flash, and the headphones will reset without losing any pairing information. This can sometimes resolve software glitches that prevent charging. In case the problem persists even after the troubleshooting steps, please make sure to reach to our technical support team at: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones. You will a chat link or the number for you to get a live support agent who will be more than glad to help you out. We appreciate the understanding. Thanks for considering Sony products. Best regards, DiegoV, Sony North America Customer Support.

Hello Lisa1757, We're really sorry to hear about the ongoing issues you've experienced with your WH-1000XM4 headphones. It's fantastic that your husband loves the noise cancellation and sound quality – those are key features we pride ourselves on. However, it's completely understandable that you'd expect a much longer lifespan from headphones at this price point, and it's frustrating to have had two pairs develop problems. We sincerely apologize for the headband detaching on the first pair and the charging issue with the replacement after only 14 months. We recognize that these are significant durability concerns, and we appreciate you bringing them to our attention. Please reach out to our customer support team at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones to assist you further! We appreciate you to give us the opportunity to change your experience! Sincerely, Jenn.

Hi unhappy59, thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with our WH-1000XM4 headphones. We understand you're trying to use them with your portable CD player and have some questions about the noise-cancelling feature. In response to your inquiry, you absolutely can use the noise canceling feature while connected to your portable CD player with the headphone cable! The key is to ensure the unit is powered ON when you're using it with your portable CD player. When the headphones are turned on, even if you're connected with the cable and not using Bluetooth, the noise cancelling technology is active. If the headphones are turned OFF, they'll still pass audio through the cable, but you won't experience the active noise cancelling or the optimal sound quality the WH-1000XM4 is known for. For further information, kindly visit the following link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP0002752740.html If you're still experiencing any issues after trying this, please don't hesitate to reach out to our technical support team at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones Thank you for being a valued Sony customer.
