Design-wise, it is identical to the older model. It also uses the same Q1N noise cancellation processor. But, Sony said that it added a new Bluetooth audio system on a chip designed to analyze music and surrounding ambient noise 700 times per second.

This along with a tweaked algorithm makes the new 1000XM4 better at suppressing voices and mid-frequency everyday ambient sound.

Inside, the headphones use similarly large 40mm drivers. It also has an AI improved upscaling feature, 30 hours of continuous playback, and the same controls found on the older headphone.

The device also uses a new "Precise Voice Pickup" technology which controls five microphones in the headphones optimally and performs advanced audio signal processing pickup to let its users enjoy clear voice calls. Sony also added the new "Speak to Chat" feature which temporarily pauses your music as soon as you start talking and resumes after the conversation is done.

The headphones also come with the multipoint support that allows the headphones to pair with two devices at once.
