Built-in V1 processor and Bluetooth® "System on Chip" technology Specially developed by Sony, the new V1 processor built into the WF-1000XM4 earphones takes the noise canceling performance of the acclaimed QN1e chip even further. This improved performance and Bluetooth® "System on Chip" technology provide the highest level of noise cancellation in the industry while consuming less battery power.
Details that improve Noise Cancelling performance To achieve this level of cancellation, the Sony WF-1000XM4 also relies on two noise-detecting microphones, one for advance feed and one for feedback, which picks up more ambient sounds to filter them out. In addition, the 6mm driver unit improves Noise Cancellation by generating a high-precision cancellation signal for low frequencies, while the new earplugs are made from a unique polyurethane foam material. Soft and resilient, the material maximizes the surface contact area between the earplug and the ear canal, eliminating gaps to isolate sound and reduce noise. It also improves adhesion to the ear canal for a more stable fit, making the WF-1000XM4 earphones comfortable to wear.
Hear what you want Youll be fully immersed in the sound, even on windy days! The Sony WF-1000XM4 detects when its windy and automatically reduces noise. In ambient sound mode, the WF-1000XM4 picks up more sound around you than ever before, providing a more natural listening experience and keeping you connected to your surroundings.
Sound controllers 6mm and high-performance diaphragm The Sony WF-1000XM4 supports high-resolution wireless audio. With 6mm drivers specifically designed for the WF-1000XM4, the sound is dynamic despite its small size, and the high-performance diaphragm reproduces a wide range of bass. Plus, they feature 360 Reality Audio, which makes music immersive and realistic - enjoy the sound just like at a concert or with the artist in the recording studio!
Exceptional sound quality with LDAC and DSEE Extreme codec Meanwhile, the built-in V1 processor improves sound, reduces distortion and enables LDAC and DSEE Extreme codec processing. LDAC transmits three times more data (maximum transfer rate of 990 kbps) than conventional Bluetooth®, allowing you to enjoy high-resolution content. And with Edge-AI (artificial intelligence), DSEE Extreme? (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) enhances compressed digital music files in real time. By dynamically recognizing instruments, genres and individual elements of each song, such as voices or interludes, DSEE Extreme restores frequencies lost in compression and creates a more complete listening experience.
A listen smarter Chatting with someone has never been so comfortable. When youre talking to someone, Speak-to-Chat automatically pauses the music and lets the ambient sound through so you can talk - useful if your hands are full -. When you stop talking, the music starts again. Speak-to-Chat recognizes and reacts to your voice by combining 4 microphones and sensors with advanced audio signal processing. Adaptive Sound Control, on the other hand, is a smart feature that senses where you are and what youre doing to create the ideal listening experience based on ambient sound. You can even make this system recognize the places you visit the most, such as the office, the gym or your favorite cafe, to adapt the sound to each situation.
Top quality calls< /strong> Precise voice recognition technology uses multi-directional microphones and a bone conduction sensor to allow the Sony WF-1000XM4 headset to recognize your voice clearly and accurately for calls at home, in a cafe or on the go.
