Sony WH1000XM4C/S Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones (M4 2nd Gen) in Platnium Silver
Sony WH1000XM4C/S wireless noise-cancelling headphones in Platinum Silver refresh a fan-favorite 1000X design for listeners who want private, premium sound wherever the day goes. The closed over-ear form helps turn streets, traffic, transportation and busy offices into a more focused listening space, while the familiar foldable construction makes the headset easy to bring along. Soft ear cushions, an adjustable headband and rotating earcups support everyday comfort, and the supplied carrying case keeps the headphones ready for commuting or travel. With noise cancelling active, playback is rated for up to 27 hours for all-day listening.1
Premium playback goes beyond a one-size-fits-all sound. Through Sony | Sound Connect, listeners can adjust the equalizer, manage Ambient Sound Control, select Bluetooth connection quality and personalize other listening behaviors from one convenient app.2 High-Resolution Audio can be enjoyed through the supplied headphone cable, while LDAC carries compatible high-resolution content wirelessly at a higher data rate than SBC. The result is a flexible setup for music, movies and daily listening, whether the moment calls for a Bluetooth connection or a traditional wired source.3
Thoughtful intelligence makes the listening experience feel more personal. Personal NC Optimizer can tailor noise-cancelling performance to wearing conditions, while Ambient Sound Mode and Quick Attention help bring the outside world back when needed. Speak-to-Chat responds when the wearer starts talking, and wearing detection helps manage playback as the headphones go on or come off. Multipoint connectivity makes it easier to move between two Bluetooth source devices, and the right-ear touch panel places music, volume, calls and voice-assistant operation within easy reach. Together, these features give the second-generation M4 the versatility to move from focused work and travel to calls and entertainment without leaving the familiar 1000X experience behind.
