Noise canceling technology has just got better!

Whether you are taking a long flight or relaxing in a cafe, the WH-1000XM4 headphones reduce high and mid-frequency noise, giving you Sony’s best noise canceling performance ever. Dual Noise Sensor technology, with two microphones on each earphone used to cancel noise, captures ambient noise and transfers data to the reliable HD Noise Canceling Processor QN1. Next, a new Bluetooth Audio SoC (System on Chip) detects music and noise and fine-tunes at a frequency of over 700 times per second.

The HD Noise Canceling Processor QN1 implements the noise canceling process in real time using a new algorithm. This allows the user to better focus on the music they like and be away from the chaos of the outside world.

Using Edge-AI (Edge Artificial Intelligence), DSEE ExtremeTM accurately reproduces sounds lost during digital compression for a truly faithful experience. Edge-AI analyzes music in real time and recreates high frequency sounds lost in compression by recognizing instruments, musical genres, individual elements of each song.

Combining WH-1000XM4 headphones and an Android/iPhone smartphone with compatible music streaming service apps, it is possible to enjoy 360 Reality Audio.
