Highlights

• HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1, Bluetooth Audio SoC and a dual noise sensor let you listen without distractions.

• Personal Noise Cancelling Optimizer and Atmospheric Pressure Optimizing.

• High-quality audio with DSEE Extreme™ and LDAC.

• Adaptive Sound Control automatically adjusts ambient sound settings to suit your location and behaviour.

• Wireless freedom with BLUETOOTH® technology.

• Be at one with your music: Discover how the WH-1000XM4 headphones blend our most advanced noise-cancelling with exceptional sound quality and a range of smart features for an unrivalled listening experience.

• Industry-leading noise cancellation: Whether you’re flying long-haul or relaxing in a café, the WH-1000XM4 headphones deliver our best ever noise cancelling performance, keeping out even more high and mid-frequency sounds.

• The technology that makes it happen: Dual noise sensor technology, featuring two microphones on each earcup, captures ambient noise and passes the data to the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1. Using a new algorithm, the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1 then applies noise cancelling processing in real-time to a range of acoustic environments. Working together with a new Bluetooth® Audio SoC (System on Chip), it senses and adjusts to music and noise signals, as well as acoustic characteristics between the driver unit and ears, at over 700 times per second.

• Optimizing noise cancelling: To maximize noise-cancelling performance, the WH-1000XM4 headphones incorporate two technologies: Personal Noise Cancelling Optimiser, designed specifically for you, and Atmospheric Pressure Optimizing, designed specifically for air travel.

• Ambient Sound Control: Adjust ambient sound with the Sony | Headphones Connect app to cancel noise while still allowing through essential sounds, like transport announcements, when you’re listening on the move.

• Wireless freedom, premium sound: LDAC transmits approximately three times more data (at the maximum transfer rate of 990kbps) than conventional BLUETOOTH® audio, allowing you to enjoy High-Resolution Audio content in exceptional quality as close as possible to that of a dedicated wired connection.

• Sound you can believe in: A built-in analogue amplifier integrated into the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1 realizes an unmatched signal-to-noise ratio for low distortion and exceptional sound quality for portable devices. Powerful 40mm drivers, with Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) diaphragms, make the headphones perfect for handling heavy beats and can reproduce a full range of frequencies up to 40kHz.

• Real-time restoration of all your compressed files: Using Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence), DSEE Extreme™ (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) upscales compressed digital music files in real-time. Dynamically recognizing the instrumentation, musical genres, and individual elements of each song, such as vocals or interludes, it restores the high-range sound lost in compression for a richer, more complete listening experience.

• Smart listening technology to enhance your listening: The WH-1000XM4 headphones use an array of smart technologies to create a seamless, hands-free listening experience. For example, simply start speaking to automatically pause your music in Speak-to-Chat, or enjoy adaptive playback thanks to a proximity sensor and two acceleration sensors that detect whether your headphones are being worn or not.
