Experience a whole new listening experience with the WF-1000XM4 fully wireless true wireless headphones from Sony with noise minimisation. Up to 24 hours of battery life with charging case and optimised for Alexa and Google Assistant.

Industry-leading noise cancelling*1 - now even better

Every part of the WF-1000XM4 headphones from Sony has been redesigned. For example, our new Integrated Processor V1, which has been specially developed by Sony and cancels more noise than ever before, a new driver with improved performance, new noise-sensing microphones and the innovative noise-isolating ear tips for an even better fit.

Exceptional sound quality

The WF-1000XM4 headphones from Sony support wireless high-resolution audio thanks to LDAC. With specially developed 6 mm drivers, these headphones reproduce a dynamic sound despite their small size, while the powerful diaphragm enables rich bass. The Integrated Processor V1 also improves sound quality and reduces distortion. Even compressed music files are upscaled, while our advanced DSEE Extreme™ technology ensures an intense, immersive listening experience. [[image:46135710]]

Smarter speaking, smarter listening

Speak-to-Chat automatically pauses music and switches to ambient sound as soon as you speak to someone. This means you don't have to take off your headphones and microphone if you don't have a free hand, for example. As soon as you end the call, the music continues automatically. Speak-to-Chat uses an accelerometer to recognise and respond to your voice. The function is based on Precise Voice Pickup technology, which combines four microphones and sensors with advanced audio signal processing.

Loud and crystal clear playback

Precise Voice Pickup technology uses beamforming microphones and a bone conduction sensor, allowing the WF-1000XM4 wireless headphones with microphone to pick up your voice clearly during hands-free calls - at home, in a café or wherever you are. The noise minimisation also ensures that you can hear your conversation partners even more clearly, even in noisy environments.

Use all day, charge in minutes

With 8 hours of battery life, you can listen to music all day long with your Sony Bluetooth headphones. Charging in the charging case gives you another 16 hours. That's a total of 24 hours*2 of listening pleasure on the go. In a hurry? A 5-minute quick charge gives you another 60 minutes of music. The Sony Headphones Connect app notifies you when the battery level of the charging case drops below 30%. With Qi technology, you can also charge the headphones wirelessly*3. [[image:46135733]]

The noise minimisation of the completely wireless WF-1000XM3 headphones is more modern than ever before. Two microphones on the headphones - one facing forwards and one facing backwards - capture more ambient noise, whether you're on a plane, in traffic or on a call in the office. A small but powerful 6 mm driver unit in the headphones ensures rich, clear, room-filling sound.

24 hours of listening pleasure

Fully charged, the headphones have a runtime of six hours. The practical charging case allows for three more charges so that the battery lasts all day. This means you can look forward to up to 24 hours of noise-free listening pleasure.
