Legendary 1000X Noise Cancelling
Drawing on the premium noise cancelling performance of the 1000X Series, the WH-1000XM4C helps quiet everyday noise from streets, traffic, busy offices, and transportation, so you can settle into your own private world of sound.
Advanced Noise Cancelling Engineering
Dual Noise Sensor technology uses two microphones on each earcup to pick up surrounding sound, then works with the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1 to help reduce distractions across a wide range of environments. To adapt to the widest range of acoustic environments, the Bluetooth® Audio SoC analyzes audio, noise, and driver-to-ear acoustics. The WH-1000XM4C boosts noise cancelling performance through an innovative Personal Noise Cancellation Optimizer. This evaluates personalized acoustic factors including head shape/size, hair, and glasses, then customizes sound specifically for you.
Trusted, Premium Sound Quality
Known and loved for its premium sound, the WH-1000XM4C delivers the high-fidelity listening experience you expect, with sound customization designed for today’s music, movies, and everyday listening.
Precision Engineered Audio
An integrated analog amplifier inside the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1 helps deliver clean, low-distortion audio for a premium listening experience on the go. High-performance 40 mm drivers with Liquid Crystal Polymer diaphragms deliver powerful bass and a wide frequency range, reproducing sound up to 40 kHz.
Real-Time Restoration Of Compressed Music
DSEE Extreme™ (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) uses Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence) to upscale compressed music files in real time, helping restore high-range sound lost in compression for a richer, more complete listening experience.
Fine-Tune Your Entertainment Experience
Personalize your sound in the Sony | Sound Connect app. Use the 10-band equalizer to adjust vocals, bass, and more, then save your favorite settings for music, movies, games, and everyday listening.
Wireless Freedom, Premium Sound
LDAC transmits about three times more data than conventional Bluetooth® audio, helping you enjoy High-Resolution Audio content wirelessly with quality that comes closer to a dedicated wired connection. With 360 Reality Audio certified headphones and the Sony | Sound Connect app, you can personalize your experience by analyzing your ear shape for more immersive listening.
Timeless Style & Streamlined Design
With a classic design that continues to feel fresh, the WH-1000XM4C pairs everyday comfort with effortless style. Available in three colors so you can choose the look that fits you best. Choose the color that fits your style, with classic Black, Platinum Silver, and a new Lavender shade available. Thoughtfully placed buttons make controls simple and intuitive, while maintaining a clean, streamlined look.
Lightweight & Foldable For Effortless Portability
Lightweight (approx. 253g) and comfortable for all-day wear, the WH-1000XM4C folds neatly into the included carrying case, making it easy to bring along for travel, commutes, or everyday use. Soft, oval-shaped earpads help the WH-1000XM4C feel comfortable and easy to wear throughout the day. The foldable design fits neatly into the included case, helping protect your headphones while you travel or store them between uses. When you’re not listening, the headphones rest comfortably around your neck and stay ready for your next song, call, or commute.
All-Day Power & Quick Charging
Up to 27 hours of battery life helps power you through the day, while a quick 3-minute charge gives you up to 1 hour of playback when you’re short on time.
Clear Calls & Multipoint Connection
Powered by Precise Voice Pickup Technology using multiple microphones and advanced audio signal processing, the WH-1000XM4C delivers clear voice quality to the person on the other end of the call. Pair with two Bluetooth® devices at the same time and switch automatically when a call comes in or audio starts on either device. Pair quickly with compatible Android™ devices using Fast Pair, so you can connect in just one tap.
Tap For Simple, Intuitive Control
Control music and volume right from the earcup. Tap, swipe, or double-tap to play, pause, skip tracks, and adjust volume without reaching for your phone.
Adjusts To The World Around You
Adaptive Sound Control senses where you are and what you’re doing, then adjusts ambient sound settings to match your environment. Over time, it can learn your frequently visited locations for a more personalized experience.
Smart Everyday Listening
Speak-to-Chat automatically pauses your music and lets in ambient sound when you start talking, making quick conversations easier without removing your headphones. Based on Precise Voice Pickup Technology, this smart feature uses multiple microphones built into your headphones and advanced audio signal processing to recognize and react to your voice. When the conversation ends, your music resumes automatically.
An IR sensor detects when you take the headphones off and automatically pauses your music, then resumes playback when you put them back on. Quick Access gives you a shortcut to your music with simple taps, so you can start listening without reaching for your phone.
Total Convenience, Total Customization
Your headphones are even better with the Sound Connect app. The simple, intuitive interface lets you dial in your ideal sound and adjust shortcut settings, view recent listening history, and check your listening habits with Safe Listening.
