Overview

Experience the ultimate in excitement

Sony WF-1000XM4 wireless headphones combine industry-leading noise reduction with high-resolution sound quality, intelligent settings, water resistance, long battery life and long-lasting comfort. A pleasant True Wireless experience every day for unforgettable moments.

Active noise reduction

Sony's new V1 processor on board cancels out more ambient noise and is combined with a new high-performance speaker, a new microphone design to pick up sound and new polyurethane eartips for optimum stability.

Instantly, by placing your hand on the headset with the Quick Attention feature or by speaking with the Speak to Chat feature, the headset reduces the volume of the music and cuts the noise reduction to perceive the surrounding sounds. Adjustable to 20 levels, the noise reduction can be set according to your activity and location using the Sony Headphones Connect application.

Outstanding sound quality

The WF-1000XM4 in-ear headphones support Hi Res Audio Wireless with LDAC. The 6mm drivers, high-resolution diaphragm and V1 processor produce rich, dynamic sound without distortion. Even compressed files are enhanced with our advanced DSEE Extreme technology for a richer, more complete listening experience. Certified 360 Reality Audio for immersive, lifelike studio or live concert sound.

Long battery life and fast charging

With 8 hours of battery life in your headphones and an additional 16 hours with the charging case, that's 24 hours of listening time every time you go out. In a hurry? A 5-minute quick charge gives you 60 minutes of playback. And thanks to Qi induction charging technology, you can charge your headphones wirelessly. So they're with you all the time and everywhere, too, thanks to their IPX 4 protection against rain and sweat.

Precise Voice Pickup technology uses microphones and a bone conduction sensor for clear and precise hands-free calls at home, in a café or wherever you are. Finally, noise reduction means you can hear the other person more clearly, even in noisy environments. Google Assistant and its Fast Pair but also Amazon Alexa are integrated to control each activity by voice, without looking at the phone.

    Very good product

    The Sony WF-1000XM4 black headphones are very good sounding headphones.
    The sound is clear, the bass deep, and of course everything is adjustable on the application.

    As for the microphones, don't expect any miracles.

    When I first started using it, I had access to a very long battery life, but this has recently deteriorated considerably.
    A full charge takes less than 30 minutes to empty, whereas before it could easily last several hours.
    However, I assume that this is a problem with my product in particular and not with the product in general (to be verified as other people on forums have had this problem with a specific version of the software (which is not my case)).

    For my part, I'm going to contact the after-sales service to make use of the warranty.

    Opinion

    End caps deteriorate quickly. Very difficult to replace.
    One earphone in two works less than 2 years later.

    Very disappointed after several months of listening

    This item was ordered last year and works very well, both in terms of sound and ear retention. However, after several months of use at the gym, it only holds a charge for a little over 2 hours. The right side of my earphones discharges much faster than the left, so I always have to recharge. Yesterday at the gym, the left side was at 48% while the right was at 8%, so there really is a problem. ????????

    Great headset! (new anyway)

    I've been using them for a while now, but I'm not sure if they're really a good fit or not.
    The buttons on the earpieces are easy to use (one to disable/enable the noise reduction and one to mute/start the sound). You can use only one earpiece (the right one) if you want to have one ear available.

    I've been using them for a while now and I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to use them again, but I'm not sure I'm going to be able to use them again...

    the best on the market

    I always decide after long research for a lasting investment
    These headphones are perfect!
    - The different sizes of ear tips make them comfortable for everyone.
    - Excellent fit during sports (cross-fit, jogging, weight training, yoga) and train/TGV journeys have become a real break!
    - Finally, unbeatable battery life with fast charging

    So satisfied that I offered the same to several people around me
    To choose with your eyes closed

    Satisfied

    Good listening quality, perfect design, not a great fit but at the same time it's nice not to have a nuclear power plant on your ears. Holds well with the right tips. I would avoid taking a shower with them even if they are resistant.
    The price is high for the features: the volume control is too basic, the app is not up to scratch, and it's a pain to activate the google assistant.
    Other than that I'm very happy with it and I hope it lasts me the next 5 years.

    Very practical headphones

    Smooth delivery (as usual!). The headphones are of very good quality, comfortable to wear and easy to set up with the Sony app on the mobile phone. The product is perfect for my indoor use.
    Once again LDLC has done it right!

    Great Product

    It works well, good music playback, lots of features. Very nice design, small case.
    I've been using it for a while now, but it's a good idea to keep it in mind when you're using it.
