The Sony WH-1000XM4 is the legend that put Sony on top of the noise cancelling world — and years later it remains a phenomenal buy. The HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1 with 32-bit audio processing senses and adjusts over 700 times per second, 40mm drivers deliver Hi-Res sound with LDAC, and smart features like Speak-to-Chat still embarrass newer rivals. All at a price that keeps dropping — available at Totot in the UAE.
Choosing the Black Configuration
Buying decisions inside a single product range rarely come down to quality, because the core hardware is shared. They come down to what arrives in the box and what that saves you buying separately later.
The Black version of the Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Noise-Canceling Over-the-Ear Headphones, with Google Assistant, Black is listed here with its own price, stock and barcode rather than hidden behind a dropdown, so what you see on this page is exactly what ships. Compare the specifications below against the other versions in the range before ordering, since the difference is usually accessories and capacity rather than performance.

Sony WH-1000XM4: Noise Cancelling That Never Blinks
Dual Noise Sensor technology places two microphones on each earcup, feeding the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1 — which senses music and noise signals over 700 times per second and processes audio at 32-bit depth through its integrated DAC and amplifier. The Personal NC Optimizer tunes cancellation to your head, glasses, and hair, while Atmospheric Pressure Optimizing keeps performance perfect at altitude.
40mm Drivers, LDAC, and Edge-AI Restoration
Large 40mm drivers span 4Hz to 40,000Hz, LDAC carries nearly three times the data of standard Bluetooth for Hi-Res wireless audio, and DSEE Extreme — Edge-AI co-developed with Sony Music Studios Tokyo — rebuilds the high-range detail that compression strips from everyday streams.
The Smart Features Everyone Copied
Speak-to-Chat pauses music automatically when you start talking. Quick Attention drops the volume the moment you cup the right earcup. Wearing detection pauses when you lift a cup and powers down when you set them aside. Adaptive Sound Control learns your regular locations, and multipoint keeps laptop and phone connected together.
30 Hours — and 5 Hours from a 10-Minute Charge
A single charge covers 30 hours with ANC engaged, comfortably a week of commuting. Running low before a flight? Ten minutes on USB-C buys 5 full hours of playback.
Folds Flat, Feels Featherlight
Super-soft pressure-relieving urethane earpads spread contact evenly for genuinely all-day comfort, the frame folds into the included case for travel, and touch controls on the earcup handle tracks, volume, calls, and assistants with a tap or swipe.
The Smartest Entry into Flagship ANC
Two generations of flagships later, the XM4’s core — class-leading ANC, marathon battery, foldable comfort — has barely aged, while its price has fallen dramatically. For students, first-time ANC buyers, and gift shoppers in the UAE, it delivers the highest silence-per-dirham in the store.
