Sony’s Black WH-1000XM4C is a foldable, active noise-cancelling over-ear headphone with Bluetooth and analogue audio. The exact guide states approximately 253 g and preserves different playback limits for AAC/SBC and LDAC.

Specifications checked 17 Oct 2026Manufacturer specifications, not a hands-on test.
The guide explicitly supports passive analogue listening with the headset turned off, alongside powered active noise cancellation.
The exact guide documents two-device multipoint connection for switching playback and handling calls.
Noise cancelling is unavailable when the headset is powered off; Ambient Sound and LDAC have shorter published runtime limits than the headline AAC/SBC figure.
The headset is not waterproof, and its manufacturer endurance figures are conditional maxima rather than independent test results.

17 specifications in 4 groups. Values are manufacturer specifications unless a row says “Measured result” or “Calculated from cited specifications”.
The exact model guide places the earpads over the ears. No unlisted closed/open acoustic construction or measured isolation is inferred.
SourceApproximately; the exact source states the mass of this headset.
SourceThe exact model guide expressly states that the headset is not waterproof. This is a documented manufacturer limitation.
SourceThe exact UK model page positively describes a foldable structure; no durability or packed dimensions are inferred.
SourceOnly positively documented audio connections are listed. The analogue cable disables Bluetooth; a USB charging connector does not establish USB audio. The headset can play passive analogue audio when turned off.
SourceManufacturer full-charge Bluetooth music maxima. Equalizer, DSEE Extreme, Speak-to-Chat, Service Link and other changes from defaults shorten runtime. Calls have separate 20/16/27-hour limits; powered analogue use has 19/16/32-hour limits for noise cancelling/Ambient Sound/inactive respectively.
SourceBuilt-in lithium-ion batteries are explicitly named. The operating voltage is not converted into a capacity; user replaceability is not inferred.
SourceApproximately; actual charging time varies with conditions of use.
SourceThe retained exact-model specification does not establish a battery capacity in mAh. Operating voltage and playback endurance do not establish this quantity.
SourceWireless charging is not established in the retained exact-model evidence; documented USB charging does not establish absence.
SourcePositively listed supported music codecs; unlisted formats are not marked unsupported. LDAC playback requires the applicable sound-quality setting and compatible transmitting device.
SourceThe exact retained specification names Bluetooth without a numbered version; no number is inferred from codecs, profiles or another model.
SourceThe guide explicitly documents two-device simultaneous Bluetooth connection. It allows switching playback and waiting for calls; this is not simultaneous mixed music from both devices.
SourceThe exact guide expressly permits listening when the headset is turned off; active noise cancelling then cannot be used.
SourceThe exact guide positively names a noise-cancelling headset and documents its active noise-cancelling mode. Presence is not an independently measured attenuation result.
SourceThe exact model guide documents voice pickup and call or chat controls; microphone noise filtering does not establish measured attenuation or call quality.
SourceThe exact guide names Sound Connect; available functions depend on the connection, device and settings.
