Sony WH-1000XM4 noise-cancelling headphones box price has been revealed ahead of its launch in India. Sony has scheduled the launch of the 1000XM4 on September 18 in India and these new headphones follow the 1000XM3 which is known for its industry-leading noise cancellation technology. The 1000XM4 made its global debut in August and is a direct competitor to the Bose 700.
Ahead of the launch of Sony WH-1000XM4 in India, the box price of the new noise-cancelling headphones has been revealed. The WH-1000XM4 will retail at Rs 29,990 in India and Sony has an introductory offer for the first 15 days after launch. As part of this launch offer, the WH-1000XM4 is expected to be offered at a discounted price. The introductory offer will end on September 30. The details about this introductory offer will be revealed during the launch of the 1000XM4, which is less than 20 hours away.
Sony WH-1000XM4 features
Sony WH-1000XM4 has similar looking design as XM3 and it's powered by the QN1 noise cancellation chip. While the NC processor remains the same, it does get a new Bluetooth audio SoC that is said to analyze music and surrounding ambient noise 700 times per second.
The headphones have 40mm drivers like the M3s with an improved audio upscaling feature. Even the battery life is still the same offering 30 hours of continuous playback with NC on. Similar to its predecessors, the WH-1000XM4's features can be accessed and controlled using Sony Headphone Connect app. It lets users set noise cancellation levels, set up adaptive sound controls, and adjust equalizer and more.
All the other controls and buttons remain unchanged from the M3s. It retains the touch-sensitive earcup that lets you control music and volume, and also offers Quick Attention mode that can be used to hear the surrounding by covering the earcup with your palm.
Additionally, a new 'speak-to-chat' feature debuts, which pauses the music when it recognizes that the user is conversing. A new multi-point connectivity feature comes as a welcome change, which essentially allows the headphone to connect to two sources simultaneously.
These headphones also support Sony's own 360 Reality Audio format for spatial sound, but there's unfortunately not a lot of content available in that format. It now supports LDAC but misses Qualcomm's aptX codec support as it uses a new Bluetooth chip to aid the noise-cancelling performance.
