DESCRIPTION
EQUIPPED WITH AN ADVANCED V1 CHIP, WIND-NOISE REDUCTION & DSEE EXTREME FOR SONIC EXCELLENCE
The all-new V1 chip employed in the Sony WF-1000XM4 has an advanced ANC processor that cuts noise way better than ever before. The V1 chip is equipped with an all-new DAC circuit along with an amplifier and DSEE Extreme (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) for a richer and fuller music listening experience. It also has a Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence) that recreates lost frequencies. With the optimization of the transmission algorithm, the V1 processor provides stable connectivity and low latency. Even the wind noise gets automatically reduced thanks to the Automatic Wind Noise Reduction mode.

6MM DRIVER + ENHANCED MAGNET SETUP FOR EXCEPTIONAL WIRELESS SOUND
With the 6mm driver paired with a 20% larger magnet and a brand new high-compliance diaphragm, the sound of the WF-1000XM4 is highly detailed and dynamic. The lower bass frequencies are now even powerful while the overall listening experience is enriched with precise noise cancellation.



INDUSTRY-LEADING NOISE CANCELLATION AND SUPPORT FOR HI-RES LDAC CODEC
The newer Sony WF-1000XM4 sports active noise cancellation 40 per cent better than the XM3 generation. It is the first earbuds from Sony to feature the Hi-Res LDAC codec. Since it supports High-Resolution Audio Wireless, you get to enjoy High-Resolution Audio in exceptional quality. These earbuds are considerably smaller and lighter than their predecessors.

NOISE ISOLATING POLYURETHANE FOAM EARTIPS THAT ENSURE SNUG & SECURE FIT
The other biggest improvement with the WF-1000XM4 comes with polyurethane foam eartips that isolate noise significantly while also offering a better fit. These eartips enhance the surface contact area and reduce gaps to insulate sound and reduce noise. Moreover, it also improves adhesion to the ear canal resulting in a snug and reliable fit.


ADAPTIVE SOUND CONTROL THAT ADJUSTS SOUND ON THE BASIS OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS
Whether you are travelling, walking or waiting, the Adaptive Sound Control on the WF-1000XM4 senses your surroundings to alter ambient sound settings therefore ensuring optimum listening experience.

With just 5 minutes of quick-charge, these earbuds can last for almost an hour.


ECO-FRIENDLY ERGONOMIC DESIGN PAIRED WITH A WATER-RESISTANT IPX4 RATING
After referring to a bank of ear-shape data, Sony developed a brand new ergonomic design for the WF-1000XM4. This new shape adheres to the shape of the ear cavity to offer a more stable fit. The overall design of the all-new WF-1000XM4 is compact wherein the earbuds are 10% smaller and the case is 40% smaller than the previous model. The earbuds now come with an IPX4 water and sweat resistance rating for more durability. Based on low toxicity design principles, the WF-1000XM4 does not use any plastic in its design. Made entirely out of recycled and sustainable materials, the WF-1000XM4 promotes the โMade to be remadeโ philosophy.

4ย BEAM FORMING MICS & A BONE CONDUCTION TECH FOR SUPERIOR CALLS โ
The use of four beam-forming microphones and a bone-conduction sensor leads to precise voice pickup during phone calls. These dual noise sensing microphones ensure that your voice is heard clearly and loudly over the call without any sort of distortion. โ

INTUITIVE TOUCH CONTROLS TO MANAGE MUSIC, ANC AND AMBIENT MODE
Intuitive touch controls get a lot of work done like a tap on the left manages ambient sound mode and noise cancellation while the tap on the right plays and pauses the music. Additionally, double-tapping will take you to the next track and triple tapping will take you to the previous song. You are free to assign your prefered function for each earbud using the Headphones Connect App.

ALL-NEW SPEAK-TO-CHAT FEATURE & SUPPORT TO HEADPHONES CONNECT APP
With the Speak-to-Chat feature, the WF-1000XM4 activates Ambient sound mode the moment you start talking to someone. It reacts to your voice using Precise Voice Pickup Technology which is a combination of four microphones, sensors and advanced audio signal processing. This mode records more sound from the surroundings to offer a natural listening experience while allowing you to stay aware of your environment.


PERSONALISE YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH THE HEADPHONES CONNECT APP & 360 REALITY AUDIO
The team of product designers at Sony have studied and surveyed huge amounts of data relating to ear shapes from around the world to design the WF-C500. The WF-C500 headphones is a product of that research, combining a shape that matches the ear cavity with a new ergonomic surface design for a more stable fit. Designed to be lightweight, these buds fit securely and comfortably in your ears.
