Sony WH-1000XM4
ANC, 30 h, Wireless, CableProduct details
Discover how the WH-1000XM4 headphones combine advanced noise-cancelling technology with outstanding sound quality and many intelligent functions for an unparalleled listening experience.
From long-haul flights to café visits, the WH-1000XM4 headphones filter out even more high and mid-frequency noise, giving you advanced noise-cancelling performance.
LDAC transmits approximately three times the amount of data (at a maximum transfer rate of 990 Kbps) as conventional audio, so you can enjoy high-resolution audio content in almost the same quality as wired connections.
The WH-1000XM4 headphones are equipped with smart technologies that enable a seamless listening experience with hands-free operation: The Speak-to-Chat function automatically pauses the music when you speak, the proximity sensor provides adaptive playback and two accelerometers detect whether the headphones are being worn or not.
The intelligent adaptive noise control recognises where you are and what you are doing and adjusts the ambient noise settings accordingly for an ideal listening experience.
Want to hear voices or sounds in your surroundings immediately? Place your hand on the ear cup to instantly turn down the music and hear ambient noise.
The WH-1000XM4 headphones combine elegance and comfort. The ultra-soft, pressure-relieving urethane foam ear pads distribute pressure evenly and improve support and fit. And because they are so light, you hardly feel that you are wearing headphones.
The ultra-long battery life of 30 hours keeps you going even on long journeys. If you need to charge quickly, you can listen to music for another 5 hours after just 10 minutes of charging with the optional mains adapter.
