”Sony’s excellent wireless headphones deliver a sonic masterclass.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2022 award-winner.

The best made better – industry-leading noise cancellation with the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones

Regarded as one of the best in the business, Sony’s noise cancellation system keeps you isolated from noise and in touch with your music. Whether you’re working in a busy office, traveling or just enjoying music in a public space, these Sony noise cancelling headphones provide the best in long-term noise isolation – meaning you hear more of your music and less of the outside world.

Adaptive Sound Control
Using the powerful QN1 processor, the WH-1000XM4 headphones now feature Adaptive Sound Control. This intelligently adjusts the ambient sound settings by detecting your frequent locations and activities, and adjusting the sound to suit. Use the Sony Headphones Connect app and get even more control over your sound.

Premium quality, wireless sound
With LDAC wireless audio system, these Sony Bluetooth headphones are able to receive around three times more detail than ordinary Bluetooth headphones. With an improved frequency response, you’ll hear more of the music, with the quietest details easy to hear. As a further bonus, the WH-1000XM4s now feature Bluetooth Version 5.0 – giving less compression and a more dynamic sound.

Unique, DSEE Extreme technology and LCP drivers
DSEE Extreme upsamples compressed music files, giving them a fuller, richer sound. This means that even your oldest recordings sound their very best. Using 40mm drivers with LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) diaphragms, these Sony headphones are quick to react to every detail in the music – whatever the genre.

Smart features to make life easier
Multiple smart technologies make listening and calling easier than ever. Speak-to-Chat automatically pauses the music when you start a conversion – such as ordering a coffee – so you don’t have to remove your headphones. Once you do remove them, though, Wearing Detector pauses the music or powers the headphones off – depending upon how long they’re left.

Superior call quality
With five built-in microphones and advanced signal processing, Precise Voice Pickup Technology means your caller gets to hear you clearly. Even when you’re at a busy office, station or terminal, the call quality is crystal-clear.

Voice assistant and touch sensitive pad for effortless communication
Compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri, you don’t need to touch your phone to make a call, change the music or seek information. Simply press and hold the noise cancelling button and ask your PA to help. The Touch Sensor control pad also accesses a wide range of other features, such as Quick Attention for an immediate drop in volume – ideal if you need to cross the road.

Multi-point connection – connect to two Bluetooth devices simultaneously
This handy feature lets you seamlessly stay in touch with two devices. You might, for example, connect to your smartphone and a HiRes music portable. As a call comes in, the headphones are smart enough to know which device needs connecting and switches to the phone automatically. At other times, you can switch between two devices at the touch of a button.

Quick to charge and 30 hours battery life
Use the optional AC adaptor and just 10 minutes of charging is enough for 5 hours playback – perfect for when you’re in a hurry. Once fully charged up (in around 3 hours), these headphones give up to 30 hours of playback – easily enough for a week’s worth of commuting. Switch off Noise Cancellation and this increases to an even more impressive 38 hours.

Designed for the longest journeys - light and comfortable
At just 254 grammes, the WH-1000XM4 headphones are amongst the lightest in their class. Combine this with the thick padding and over ear design and you have headphones that go the distance – in comfort.

Made for music on the move
Supplied with a premium travel case, the foldable WH-1000XM4 headphones make the perfect travel partner. An in-flight adapter plug is also supplied – letting you make the most of the noise cancellation ability and enjoy your music with far less disturbance.

Enhance every journey, with the Sony WH-1000XM4.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great listening but can't hear calls Listening experience is great, like the configurability of EQ to match moods and whether you're listening to music or podcasts. Can control different functions or choose to use Alexa voice control, although the novelty wears off eventually with Alexa. However the integration with the phone seems to be a bit awkward, even with phone volume on, calls do not bring through to the headphones.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolutely shocked at the quality. I had always bought middle of the road headphones as I always thought “ they are all the same you just pay extra for the name. “ Then my wife bought me these Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones. I was stunned at the difference in quality . Just shows you if you want the best don’t scrimp on price.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great experience Have had this for over a month and the experience just keeps getting better in love with my song headphones

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Outstanding headphones I purchased these as a replacement for my Jabra Elite 45 headphones which were falling apart after around 4 years of intensive use. One of the things I loved about the Jabra (and that these Sony's needed to do) was hold a charge for a long while.which this far they are doing and possibly even surpassing. Coming out of the packaging it is clear that these are elite and I love the detailing and copper zipper for the compact case although I'm finding it a challenge each time to fold them up properly. The pioneering noise-cancellation technology were the thing I was and am most excited about however because I am autistic and find environmental noise, especially layered noise, uncomfortable and often anxiety-provoking. Thus far they have been an exceptional purchase and I hope they last me many years.
