Sony WF-1000XM4 Flagship TWS Earbuds With LDAC, ANC Announced; Price, Full Specifications

Sony’s WF and WH 1000XM series is amongst the best in the premium wireless audio segment. The Japanese tech giant has now revamped this product lineup in India with the launch of WF-1000XM4. Likewise, its predecessor, i.e, the WF-1000XM3, the WF-1000XM4 also brings top-notch hardware to the table including best-in-class ANC, Qi wireless charging, and more.  

Sony WF-1000XM4 Key Specifications And Features

The Sony WF-1000XM4 comes with several sets of improvements in terms of hardware and other features compared to its precursor, i.e, WF-1000XM3. A new design language has also been thrown in the mix by the brand. The premium TWS earbuds are equipped with 6nm drivers which as per the brand are newly designed and deliver better output. The company has also enhanced the noise-canceling capabilities of the new-generation TWS earbuds.

Sony says the WF-1000XM4 makes use of an Integrated V1 processor under the hood for improved noise canceling. The ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) feature is present on the previous-gen model as well. However, you get to see Sony’s in-house QN1e chip instead of the V1. The latter is claimed to deliver better performance by blocking external noise.

The company additionally reveals the integrated V1 processor improves the overall sound quality and minimizes distortion. One of the key WF-1000XM4 features is the LDAC Bluetooth Audio codec support. This gives it an edge considering you hardly find this high-res Bluetooth audio codec support generally on TWS earbuds including the premium models. The TWS earbuds also feature Sony’s DSEE Extreme feature that enhances the audio quality by upscaling the compressed digital audio files in real-time.

The Sony WF-1000XM4’s other key features include compatibility with Sony Headphone Connect mobile app, support for 360-degree Reality Audio, Quick Attention Mode, Speak-to-Chat, and Adaptive sound control. You’ll be able to use all the extra set of features via the compatible app on your respective Android and iOS smartphones.

The flagship TWS earbuds are IPX4 certified which makes them dust and water-resistant. Support for Google Fast Pair for Android, fast charging, Qi wireless charging, and voice-based digital voice assistants is also present. Speaking of the battery life, the WF-1000XM4 is claimed to deliver up to an hour of backup with just five minutes of charging. Overall charging offered is 8 hours (earbuds) and 16 hours (with the charging case.)

The Sony WF-1000XM4 has been announced in India at an asking price of Rs. 19,990. It is going up for sale starting January 16 in the country. It will be up for grabs via both online and offline retail stores including Sony’s official retail partners and e-commerce portals.
