      Hi Tfung1990, Awesome! Good to know that you found the perfect noise canceling headphones. Sony’s industry-leading noise cancellation evolves to further immerse you in your music. The addition of Sony’s proprietary HD Noise Canceling Processor QN1 masterfully eliminates the noise around you. Listen all day with up to 30 hours of battery life. Quick charging gives five hours of playback with just a 10-minute charge.

      To get the most out of your WH-1000XM4, download the Sony | Headphones Connect App. It includes Adaptive Sound Control—which automatically adjusts noise canceling based on your activity and an equalizer—which can be customized to fine-tune your music. Using our advanced noise canceling technology, we designed these headphones so you can block out noise and experience next-level silence. Plus, you have the ability to use the convenient smart features including Quick Attention, Google Assistant/Alexa/Siri compatibility, and touch controls. Thanks for choosing Sony.
