Product Description
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
maximise noise cancelling performance, the WH-1000XM4 headphones
incorporate two technologies: Personal Noise Cancelling Optimiser,
designed specifically for you, and Atmospheric Pressure Optimising,
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 in the HD Noise Cancelling
Processor QN1 realises 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 recognising 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 proximity sensor and two acceleration
sensors that detect whether your headphones are being worn or not.
For everyday convenience, just Speak-to-Chat
Say
something in Speak-to-Chat – for example, “Excuse me” – and your
headphones recognise your voice and automatically stop the music,
letting in ambient sound so you can conduct a conversation. It’s ideal
if you want to keep your headphones on, or your hands are full. And once
your chat is over, your music starts playing again automatically.
