What this is and who it's for

Sony WH-1000XM4/B wireless noise-cancelling headphones deliver over-ear audio with active noise cancellation. The HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1 and dual noise sensor technology reduce high- and mid-frequency ambient sound. Up to 30-hour battery life with quick charging supports extended listening sessions. Black finish and swivelling ear cups allow compact storage in the supplied case.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Commuters and travellers who want adaptive sound control that adjusts to location and behaviour will benefit. Listeners who value LDAC wireless audio and hands-free calling suit this model. Buyers who need more than 30 hours of continuous playback without recharging should look elsewhere. Users requiring a different colour option or a smaller on-ear form factor should consider other models.

Specification that decides fit

40mm dome-type drivers with CCAW voice coils produce a frequency response of 4 Hz-40,000 Hz. Bluetooth connectivity with LDAC technology enables high-quality wireless streaming. USB Type-C charging provides 5 hours of playback after a 10-minute charge. The 3.94 ft gold-plated cable offers a wired alternative when wireless is not preferred.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy a separate cable for wired listening?

The package includes the headphones, a USB Type-C charging cable, a 3.94 ft OFC headphone cable with gold-plated stereo mini plug, and a compact carrying case. No extra cable is required for wired use.

Should I choose the 30-hour Bluetooth mode or the wired connection for maximum battery life?

The 30-hour figure applies to wireless playback with noise cancelling on. Using the supplied 3.94 ft cable bypasses the internal battery entirely, giving unlimited listening time without charging.

What does the 4 Hz to 40,000 Hz frequency response mean when I am actually wearing them?

The 40 mm drivers reproduce bass well below typical hearing and treble far above it, so every detail in high-resolution LDAC streams is audible without roll-off at the extremes.
