Sony WF-1000XM4 True Wireless Headphones
June 9, 2021The WF-1000XM4 is Sony’s newest true wireless digital camera in its 1000X series. With WF-1000XM4 headphones, professional-grade noise cancellation and superior audio quality reach new heights. Their customizable instruments are suited to every ear, and they offer an adaptable experience to suit every situation.
Enhanced sound clarity, better noise cancellation
WF-1000XM4 offers outstanding noise reduction – now even more effective. Even better noise cancellation is provided by the newly designed Integrated Processor V1. In a development exclusive to Sony, the Integrated Processor V1 enhances the phenomenal noise-cancelling capabilities of the QN1e chip. Improved noise canceling and Bluetooth® ‘System on Chip’ technology deliver a higher level of noise cancellation than its predecessor while using less power.
A dual noise sensor microphone equipped with the WF-1000XM4 provides outstanding noise cancellation. The two microphones per ear, one feed-forward and one feed-back, can detect ambient sound and analyze it, producing highly accurate noise cancellation.
WF-1000XM4’s noise cancelling capabilities have also been enhanced with a new 6mm driver unit with an increased magnet volume of 20%. By increasing the volume of the magnet and increasing the compliance of the diaphragm, the noise cancelling system creates a signal of high precision in the low frequency band.

The WF-1000XM4 now comes with Noise Isolation Earbud Tips that provide a better fit. In order to maximize the surface contact area between the earbud tip and ear canal, the new earbud tips use a proprietary polyurethane foam material. The earphones are improved by eliminating gaps, insulate sound, and reduce noise, as well as improve the fitting of the earphones. It keeps you completely immersed even in windy conditions. The Automatic Wind Noise Reduction mode suppresses wind noise automatically when it’s windy.
High-resolution audio wireless support
Sony’s audio codec, LDAC, which has been widely adopted by the audio industry, ensures HD Audio Networking with the WF-1000XM4. A LDAC connection transmits around three times as much data as conventional Bluetooth® audio (at a maximum transfer rate of 990 kbps), so you can enjoy high-resolution audio at the same level of quality as a wired connection. In spite of their small size, these drivers produce an incredibly dynamic sound, and the high compliance of the diaphragm makes the bass range rich and deep. As well as improving sound quality and reducing distortion, the Integrated Processor V1 enables LDAC codec processing as well as DSEE Extreme™.

The DSEE Extreme™ (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) upscales digital music files without loss of quality using Edge-AI. It restores the high-range sound lost in compression, such as vocals or interludes, by dynamically identifying instrumentation, music genre, and individual elements of each song.
Enhanced listening experience
On the first model to come equipped with Speak-to-Chat, the WH-1000XM4, the innovation earned widespread praise. It lets you talk for short periods of time without having to take out the earbuds. The WF-1000XM4 is currently available with the feature.
You can keep your headphones on or hold out your hands for a conversation when Speak-to-Chat automatically pauses the music when you begin speaking. When you have finished chatting, your music will start playing again automatically.
A responder recognizes your voice and reacts accordingly. A combination of four microphones and sensors and advanced audio signal processing is the basis for Precise Voice Pickup Technology. If you want to listen to an announcement or speak briefly, the WF-1000XM4 features a ‘Quick Attention’ mode where you can lower the volume by simply placing your finger over the left earbud.
In addition to these features, the WF-1000XM4 features Adaptive Sound Control, which makes adjustments to the sound settings to suit your location and activity – for example, while traveling, walking or waiting. Adaptive Sound Control can learn to recognize difficult-to-recognize environments, such as home, the gym, and your favorite café, so it will tailor the sound accordingly.
A seamless experience is provided with the headphones’ instant pause and play functions. With proximity sensors that detect when one or both earbuds are being worn, you can simply take the earbuds out of your ears and the music will stop. Simply plug them back in to hear the music again.
With Precise Voice Pickup
Precise Voice Pickup Technology makes hands-free calling even more enjoyable with the WF-1000XM4. This device picks up your voice clearly and accurately thanks to the Precise Voice Pickup Technology and the bone-conduction sensor.
It also only detects vibrations from your voice and not ambient sounds, so you can have even clearer spoken words on calls using the bone-conduction sensor. With the Noise Cancelling feature on the WF-1000XM4, it makes your calling experience more enjoyable because you can hear the person on the other end of the call clearly on busy occasions or when there is background noise.
An even better fit
Sony has studied ear shape data from around the world since the country’s first in-ear headphones were introduced in 1982 (MDR-E252). As a result of this research, the WF-1000XM4 headphones feature a form that matches the ear canal and an ergonomic surface design for increased comfort.
Sony’s Headphones Connect app allows you to find the perfect fit for your ears. The Noise Isolation app works with your smartphone to find the perfect size of earbud tips, ensuring minimal outside noise and maximum audio quality. Experience excellent sound in a comfortable setting.
With the WF-1000XM4, you’ll enjoy small and lightweight design without compromising on any features. A redesign has made the earphones smaller than previous versions without sacrificing sound quality or long-term battery life. They’re lightweight, making them a great companion for long days at the beach or out shopping; the charging case is 40% smaller, too.
