Our take on the Sony WH-1000XM4C Wireless Noise Cancelling Over-Ear Headphones

The WH-1000XM4C is Sony's over-ear noise cancelling headphone, a refreshed take on the WH-1000XM4 with a folding design, dual noise sensor technology and the HD QN1 processor. It adds a 10-band EQ and a gaming mode through the Sony Sound Connect app, plus DSEE Extreme upscaling for compressed audio. Battery runs up to 27 hours with ANC on, and a 3-minute charge gives about an hour of playback. It suits commuters, frequent flyers and remote workers who want strong ANC and a warm, customizable sound; rivals like the Bose QuietComfort line and Apple's AirPods Max trade blows on ANC depth and call clarity, but the Sony is the more feature-dense and travel-friendly package.
