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.

Sony is the best
I love my WH-1000XM4, the sound is fantastic either on bt or wired. Very satisfying noise cancelling and very intuitive commands. Simply the best. It was a good upgrade from WH-1000XM2. Thanks Sony :)

My favourite!
I used to own previous model but due to poor plastic cover that cracked on both sides. There was no way to fix this, however sound was great and my overall experience was better than I expected. Now I bought my new WH-1000XM4 and I couldn't be happier! They are lighter than the previous, sound is still great, they're incredibly noise cancelling and as for an autistic person with sensory issues it's life saving. I really am happy with them.

Amazing
Bought these a couple of weeks ago and I love every feature and the app alongside. Those that complained just don't know how to use technology and these have been so comfortable, espeically with my ears full of piercings! Would recommend to anybody!

Head size
Highly recommended by the Which guide which it lives up to. I am an average sized UK female but the headset is too big for me - if i look down eg picking up a child or hanging laundry, it falls off.

Fantastic pair of headphones
These headphones are unbelievably good, having recently been in hospital for a few weeks these xm4s have been a god send especially on a very noisy hospital ward the noise canceling feature allowed me to sleep at night against all the moaners and screamers and general hospital noises it was a world of silence and makes you feel very peaceful, sound wise they are incredible, good bass and very clean sounding and battery life was tops, i linked these with my sony phone to use the official sony app to customize the headphones to my ears and surroundings, i honestly couldn't be without them now i listen to my music at night and drift off into a peaceful sleep.
One feature i particularly like is the 3.5mm jack to connect to non Bluetooth equipment namely my ever faithful Sony PSP it goes with me everywhere as it's my main mp3 and video player and portable gaming machine, the ability to connect these headphones to it is a real bonus, even with the headphones off they still sound good but turned on it really does enhance the sound no end.
Overall these are the best headphones I've ever owned, sony never fail to impress.

Life changing
I love my AirPods and debated whether I needed noise cancelling headphones for a few months, but with loud construction works outside the office and lots of travelling coming up, I decided to get these and wow I am amazed by how incredible they are! You're in your own little world. Great decision, would buy again!
