Sony announces WH-1000XM4 industry-leading wireless noise cancelling headphones with intelligent features

Sony India today announced the launch of WH-1000XM4, the much-awaited successor in Sony’s award-winning 1000X family offering Sony’s legacy audio quality from the hugely popular WH-1000XM3, along with industry first intelligent features that allow you to personalize and control your music, improve noise cancellation and adjust ambient sound automatically for a seamless and superior audio experience.
1. Industry-leading noise cancellation with HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1
The WH-1000XM4 headphones delivers Sony’s best noise cancelling performance, reducing high and mid frequency sounds. The headphones feature two microphones on each earcup, which are used for noise cancelling. The Dual Noise Sensor technology captures ambient noise and passes the data to the trusted HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1. Then a new BLUETOOTH® Audio SoC (System on Chip) senses and adjusts to music and noise at over 700 times per second. Using a new algorithm, the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1 applies noise cancelling processing in real time. This allows the user to focus more on the music they love and blur out all the chaos of the outside world.
2. Supports Hi-Res Audio for full range of frequencies up to 40kHz
A built-in analogue amplifier integrated in the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1 realizes an unmatched signal-to-noise ratio for low distortion and exceptional sound quality for portable devices. Powerful 40mm drivers, with Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) diaphragms, make the headphones perfect for handling heavy beats and can reproduce a full range of frequencies up to 40kHz.
3. Speak-to-chat Smart listening technology to enhance your listening experience
For everyday convenience, just Speak-to-Chat, as soon as you speak to someone, Speak-to-Chat automatically stops the music and lets in ambient sound, so you can conduct a conversation handy if you want to keep your headphones on, or your hands are full. Based on Precise Voice Pickup Technology, this smart feature uses five microphones built into your headphones and advanced audio signal processing to recognize and react to your voice. And once your chat is over, your music starts playing again automatically.
4. Price and Availability
WH-1000XM4 over-ear headphones will be available across Sony retail stores (Sony Center and Sony Exclusive), www.ShopatSC.com portal, major electronic stores and exclusively on Amazon e-commerce portal in India from 18th September 2020 onwards.
