The Sony WH-1000XM4 features a similar design to the WH-1000XM3 with the same QN1 noise-canceling processor which was present in the 1000-XM3. The headphones also have support for gesture-based controls on the outer surface of the headphones with wear detection, adaptive sound, and a claimed battery life of 30 hours. If you are an audiophile and want to fine-tune the sound, you can do so via the Sony Headphones Connect app.



Sony’s DSEE extreme sound enhancement feature is also available on the headphones. LDAC support is present but, AptX is left out due to compatibility issues. Finally, there is also the “speak to chat” feature, which recognises when the user is conversing and pauses the music for ease of conversing.
