Sony WH-1000XM4C Wireless Noise Cancelling Over-ear Headphones. Black

Legendary 1000X Noise Cancelling

The Sony WH-1000XM4C draws on the acclaimed noise cancelling performance of the 1000X Series to reduce everyday noise from streets, offices and transport, creating a quieter and more immersive listening experience wherever you go.

Advanced Noise Cancelling Technology

Dual Noise Sensor technology uses two microphones in each earcup to capture ambient sound, while the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1 and Bluetooth® Audio SoC analyse noise, audio and driver-to-ear acoustics in real time. The Personal Noise Cancellation Optimiser also considers factors such as head size, hair and glasses to tailor performance to you.

Premium High-Resolution Sound

Powerful 40mm drivers with Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) diaphragms deliver deep bass, detailed sound and an extended frequency response of up to 40kHz. The integrated analogue amplifier within the QN1 processor provides a high signal-to-noise ratio and low distortion for clear, refined listening.

DSEE Extreme™ & LDAC

DSEE Extreme™ uses Edge-AI to analyse compressed music in real time and restore high-frequency information lost during compression. LDAC can transmit approximately three times more data than conventional Bluetooth® audio, supporting high-quality wireless playback of High-Resolution Audio content.

Personalised & Immersive Listening

Use the Sony | Sound Connect app to customise your listening experience with a 10-band equaliser and personalised sound profiles. Support for 360 Reality Audio can also analyse your individual ear shape to optimise compatible immersive audio content.

Lightweight, Comfortable & Foldable

Weighing just 253g, the WH-1000XM4C combines soft oval-shaped ear pads with a lightweight design for comfortable listening throughout long journeys and daily commutes. The headphones fold neatly into the included carrying case for easy transport and protection.

Up to 27 Hours of Battery Life

Enjoy up to 27 hours of listening from a single charge. When you're short on time, a quick 3-minute charge provides up to 1 hour of playback.

Clear Calls & Multipoint Connection

Precise Voice Pickup Technology combines multiple microphones with advanced audio processing for clear voice quality during calls. Multipoint Bluetooth® connectivity allows the headphones to remain paired with two devices simultaneously and automatically switch when calls or playback begin.

Smart, Intuitive Controls

Control music directly from the right earcup with simple touch gestures for volume, track selection and playback. Quick Attention instantly lowers the music and lets ambient sound in when you place your hand over the earcup, while Speak-to-Chat automatically pauses playback when you begin a conversation.

Adaptive Sound Control

Adaptive Sound Control senses your surroundings and activity, automatically adjusting ambient sound settings to suit the situation. Over time, it can learn frequently visited locations and tailor your listening experience accordingly.

Effortless Everyday Listening

Wear detection automatically pauses your music when you remove the headphones and resumes playback when you put them back on. Fast Pair provides simple pairing with compatible Android™ devices, while Quick Access gives you convenient shortcuts to your music without reaching for your phone.

Classic Sony Design

The streamlined WH-1000XM4C combines practical controls with a timeless, understated design. Available in Platinum Silver, Black and Lavender, it offers a choice of finishes to suit your personal style.
