Smarter listening

Sony has enhanced its 1000X family of over-ear wireless noise cancelling headphones with smart listening technology that senses what you are doing (e.g. walking, driving a car, at the gym, on a train, in a café) and automatically adjusts ambient sound for the best listening experience. Other useful features of the £350 WH-1000XM4 are: Speak-to-Chat, which lets you have short conversations (e.g. order a coffee) with your headphones on – the music stops automatically when you speak and re-starts once you’ve stopped talking; and ‘Quick Attention’, which lets you reduce volume instantly by placing your hand over the right earcup. The headphones also support 360 Reality Audio for a more immersive experience.
