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.

Great but
The noise cancelling is great. The sound is great but the persistent cut out and bleep is not.

Amazing headphones!!
I brought these headphones on 22/05 and they came the next day! I didn’t pay any more for faster delivery and still got an incredibly fast delivery which I am really satisfied with! The headphones themselves are really good, they have great noise cancelling which honestly caught me off guard at first. I expected good noise cancelling but it was beyond that, I personally enjoy the noise cancelling feature especially since I have sensory problems so to overcome this these headphones are perfect. They are also super comfortable and light, which I am also very satisfied with because I plan on wearing them throughout most of my day so I wouldn’t want anything making my head ache and weighing me down and these don’t do either. The audio quality itself is also perfect, there is no annoying buzz noise when you have the volume low/paused and the audio is clear and not muffled even when the noise cancelling feature is on. I also appreciate the range of controls and customisation that there is in the Sony headphones app, I love that I can change the features around it makes it feel much more personalised. Overall, these headphones are just impeccable in my eyes and I have no faults with them. I am not a headphone expert but these are my favourite headphones that I’ve ever had and I definitely recommend them to anybody looking for good quality noise cancelling headphones.

Good features
I bought this 2 weeks ago and the sound quality is overall good apart from some glitches. Loses charge quickly the more times you use it. Also quite slippery when running (low impact)

Head size
Fab in every way except for the head size. I am an average sized female but the 'head over' bit is too big so they fall off my head if I'm gardening or ironing

The best head phones I've ever owned
Absolutely brilliant headphones. The noise cancelling on these is superior to any other. Especially when I work in a noisy environment. The sound quality is brilliant for listening to the master files and the 360 files. Beautifully made.
