Developed by Sony, the newly designed Integrated Processor V1 takes the noise canceling performance of Sony's acclaimed QN1e chip and goes even further. With two noise-sensing microphones on the surface of each earbud – one feed-forward and one feed-back – the headphones analyze ambient noise to provide highly accurate noise cancellation.

 A newly designed 6mm driver unit with a 20 percent increase in magnet volume and a high compliance diaphragm provides improved performance in low frequencies and enhances noise canceling by generating a high-precision cancellation signal to the low-frequency range.

The earbuds are specially designed 6mm drivers that reproduce a dynamic sound while the high compliance diaphragm reproduces a rich bass range. The Integrated Processor V1 also enhances sound quality and reduces distortion, while enabling LDAC codec processing and DSEE (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) Extreme, the company said.

There is an Ambient Sound mode, which you can enable if you want to listen to your surroundings or talk to someone nearby. In this case, the mode will help pause the music and you don’t have to take the buds out from your ears. Sony asserts that the earbuds have mics that support beamforming technology to offer better call quality.

You will get eight hours of battery life with ANC enabled. The earbuds are IPX42 rated, which means they are water-resistant. They offer support for wireless charging with Qi technology. The Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds also come with fast pairing support for Android and Windows 10. You can even summon digital assistants using the Sony earbuds.

The earbuds support wireless charging with Qi technology10. Use a smartphone with Qi technology, like the latest Xperia model with battery share function11, to charge the headphones and charging case. Also, through the touch controls, users can easily activate Noise Cancellation, Ambient Sound, Quick Attention mode or simply skip, pause or play songs.
