PAIRS WELL WITH THESE ACCESSORIES
EQUIPPED WITH AN ADVANCED V1 CHIP, WIND-NOISE REDUCTION & DSEE EXTREME FOR SONIC EXCELLENCE
The all-new V1 chip employed in the Sony WF-1000XM4 has an advanced ANC processor that cuts noise way better than ever before. The V1 chip is equipped with an all-new DAC circuit along with an amplifier and DSEE Extreme (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) for a richer and fuller music listening experience. It also has a Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence) that recreates lost frequencies. With the optimization of the transmission algorithm, the V1 processor provides stable connectivity and low latency. Even the wind noise gets automatically reduced thanks to the Automatic Wind Noise Reduction mode.
6MM DRIVER + ENHANCED MAGNET SETUP FOR EXCEPTIONAL WIRELESS SOUND
With the 6mm driver paired with a 20% larger magnet and a brand new high-compliance diaphragm, the sound of the WF-1000XM4 is highly detailed and dynamic. The lower bass frequencies are now even powerful while the overall listening experience is enriched with precise noise cancellation.
INDUSTRY-LEADING NOISE CANCELLATION AND SUPPORT TO HI-RES LDAC CODEC
The newer Sony WF-1000XM4 sports active noise cancellation 40 per cent better than the XM3 generation. It is the first earbuds from Sony to feature the Hi-Res LDAC codec. Since it supports High-Resolution Audio Wireless, you get to enjoy High-Resolution Audio in exceptional quality. These earbuds are considerably smaller and lighter than their predecessors.
NOISE ISOLATING POLYURETHANE FOAM EARTIPS THAT ENSURE SNUG & SECURE FIT
The other biggest improvement with the WF-1000XM4 comes with polyurethane foam eartips that isolate noise significantly while also offering a better fit. These eartips enhance the surface contact area and reduce gaps to insulate sound and reduce noise. Moreover, it also improves adhesion to the ear canal resulting in a snug and reliable fit.
ADAPTIVE SOUND CONTROL THAT ADJUSTS SOUND ON THE BASIS OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS
Whether you are travelling, walking or waiting, the Adaptive Sound Control on the WF-1000XM4 senses your surroundings to alter ambient sound settings therefore ensuring optimum listening experience. You can even teach the Adaptive Sound Control to detect places that you visit quite often and adjust the sound accordingly.
QI WIRELESS CHARGING COMPATIBLE CASE WITH AN OVERALL PLAYTIME OF UP TO 24 HOURS

Offering an overall battery life of up to 24 hours, the WF-1000XM4 can easily get you through the day. The earbuds by themselves deliver up to 8 hours of battery life while an extra 16 hours can be derived from the charging case. With just 5 minutes of quick-charge, these earbuds can last for almost an hour.
ECO-FRIENDLY ERGONOMIC DESIGN PAIRED WITH A WATER-RESISTANT IPX4 RATING
After referring to a bank of ear-shape data, Sony developed a brand new ergonomic design for the WF-1000XM4. This new shape adheres to the shape of the ear cavity to offer a more stable fit. The overall design of the all-new WF-1000XM4 is compact wherein the earbuds are 10% smaller and the case is 40% smaller than the previous model. The earbuds now come with an IPX4 water and sweat resistance rating for more durability. Based on low toxicity design principles, the WF-1000XM4 does not use any plastic in its design. Made entirely out of recycled and sustainable materials, the WF-1000XM4 promotes the ‘Made to be remade” philosophy.

4 BEAM FORMING MICS & A BONE CONDUCTION TECH FOR SUPERIOR CALLS
The use of four beam-forming microphones and a bone-conduction sensor leads to precise voice pickup during phone calls. These dual noise sensing microphones ensure that your voice is heard clearly and loudly over the call without any sort of distortion.
INTUITIVE TOUCH CONTROLS TO MANAGE MUSIC, ANC AND AMBIENT MODE
Intuitive touch controls get a lot of work done like a tap on the left manages ambient sound mode and noise cancellation while the tap on the right plays and pauses the music. Additionally, double-tapping will take you to the next track and triple tapping will take you to the previous song. You are free to assign your prefered function for each earbud using the Headphones Connect App.
ALL-NEW SPEAK-TO-CHAT FEATURE & SUPPORT TO HEADPHONES CONNECT APP

It reacts to your voice using Precise Voice Pickup Technology which is a combination of four microphones, sensors and advanced audio signal processing. This mode records more sound from the surroundings to offer a natural listening experience while allowing you to stay aware of your environment.

Customer Reviews
Got em from the US and they are a substantial improvement from the XM3s in terms of noise cancelling, bass response and especially detail though only with LDAC. With SBC or AAC they seem indistinguishable from the XM3s to me which I used for almost 2 years. If you have an iPhone, get Airpods or XM3s, the main addition of LDAC doesn't work on ios and to me these seem pointless from that perspective. Water and sweat resistance is a nice touch too.
Hi Varun,
It is nice to know that you got your hands on these earbuds way before anyone else! We are glad that it's launched in India as well and people here can now experience the best of noise cancellation. Thank you for such an amazing review on the product as we believe it will definitely help others make their decision!
Hands down thr best earphones I have laid hands upon and when I say that I have used the likes of monster turbine, beats studio 2.0 and the usual Samsung Buds + and Buds Live.
Nothing comes close to these in earphones category and the bass is now intruding in thr category of headphones. Can't write a review about Sony !#!!$!$!$@$@ (the only bad thing is sony naming convention) without speaking about the noise cancellation. The noise cancellation is so good that at times you wohld wish less of it because these earplugs will shut the door on all noise from outside. And there comes the wizardy of the sony headphone app to thr rescue. Offers you all thr flexibility you would want to serve your lifestyle.
Summarizing thr review in just two words:
Love it!
Hey there, nothing makes us happier than knowing you loved your purchase, hope you had a comfortable shopping experience & thank you for the great review & ratings!
Pretty good. Call quality could be better.
Unmatched sound and noise cancellation.
Thank you for the awesome review & ratings, Rushikesh Mehendale!
These earphones provide one of the best sound qualities in TWS segment, cleaner bass, wider soundstage and top class when it comes to any genres of music. The ANC is also best in class, and the ambient sound is natural enough. The foam eartips I got didn't fit well enough and so I had to change it to silicon eartips and I was able to feel the difference in ANC and even passive isolation almost instantly, nevertheless it's still amazing. I haven't played with DSEE extreme for long enough, so I don't know the difference, and the battery life is also very good. Now, the catch part is two of the things that I miss with these buds are multipoint connection and good mics. I have had two firmware updates, one back in June when it was released and another one, few days back, and neither of those updates brought multipoint and I doubt sony would ever bring it. And gosh, the mics in these are just bad. I don't know if it was only with my unit, I had multiple instances where my voice was unintelligible. If you want a great pair of TWS with awesome sound quality and top notch ANC, you won't go wrong with these.
HI Sudhakar N S,
We are so happy you took out time & elaborately reviewed the product. We are sure this will help our customers to make an even better & informed decision.
Sony provided a wide variety of options to customise our EQ and DSEE which enables to hear the original sound. Each bits is clear and balanced. Adaptive control enables us to live in the environment we are in. I have used 6hrs continuesly, it's comfort is like breathable water flow not like closed dam. If I didn't bought this, I would have regretted. Thanks headphone zone for your interactive support.
Hey there, nothing makes us happier than knowing you loved your purchase, hope you had a comfortable shopping experience & thank you for the great review & ratings!
I have been using the product for almost a week now and continuously. My take on the product.
1 The built quality is not up to the mark, the magnet is too tight and the case some how feels like a tiny box of plastic.
2. I am using a small eartip, which fits good but there is pain after some time of listening.
3. Music quality is just ok and as I have used other products of sony while comparing I feel this product doesn’t give me the immersive response. Some how I feel the sound is flat and an equaliser control needs to be used while we use this device.
All in all a ok product, while comparing with the price range, much better product are available in the market.
But as a sony fan, I am some what disappointed. But still this add to my collection.
1. The case is made of some flimsy plastic and it didn't feel very premium.
2. Sound quality is awesome. Tried it with TIDAL's master and 360 reality audio quality and I am hooked.
3. The original ear tips were not that comfy for my ears, so I used the comply comfort foam tips and it gave me better seal and comfort
4. Noise cancellation is effective in most cases, except against echoing sounds.
Overall...I am liking it.
We appreciate your honest review & awesome ratings, shashank kulshrestha!
