When it comes to audio products, almost everyone uses a pair of true wireless stereo earbuds these days. In fact, market analysts were quick to point out that TWS models continuously outsell traditional headphones. Nevertheless, demand for the latter is still there. Sony gladly caters to such consumers with models like the WH-1000XM4C.

Over-ear headphones by the Japanese company tend not to be as flashy as other brands. Since what truly matters is sound quality and comfort, the simple yet sleek silhouette is no dealbreaker by any means. To be honest, most of the people prefer headphones that are discreet in design. There are three tonal colorways available.

The WH-1000XM4C comes in Black, Platinum Silver, and Lavender. For ergonomic comfort and passive noise isolation, each earcup uses soft foam padding wrapped in synthetic protein leather. The material feels breathable and will not irritate your skin even during prolonged usage. Adjust the sliding mechanism on the headband for a snug fit.

At the same time, active noise cancellation ensures ambient noise does not affect your listening experience. Tweak the tuning on the fly via the Sound Connect companion app. DSEE Extreme audio enhancement vastly improves the quality of compressed music files. Bluetooth 6.0 connectivity and LDAC support promise high-fidelity acoustics minus the cords.

A full charge lasts up to 27 hours. “Known and loved for its premium sound, the WH-1000XM4C delivers the high-fidelity listening experience you expect, with sound customization designed for today’s music, movies, and everyday listening,” writes Sony. The headphones can also fold into a compact form factor for easy storage inside the included carrying case or in your bag.
