WH1000XM4 should be cheaper.

- Controls are annoying i.e. you have to swipe 20 times on the earcup and then waiting for a deafening beep to set the maximum volume.

- Loses track of current volume on different devices.

- Pairing with multiple devices rarely works.

- Audio quality is average.

The only reason people rave about is its noise cancelling.

IIRC you can swipe and keep holding to keep increasing/decreasing volume until you let go.

That might be somewhat intentional, Android remembers volume per-device (or in case of wired headphones, one separate volume for all wired headphones). When you connect/plug in a device you plugged in before, the volume automatically changes. Sony could be offloading this logic to the device on purpose.
