Sony’s WH-1000XM4 are thebest wireless headphonesyou can buy and thebest noise cancelling headphonestoo. But if they could talk, they’d go all Hitch-Hiker’s Guide To The Galaxy and solemnly say that in fact, they are only the second greatest headphones in existence. That’s because their successor, the WH-1000XM5, are even better. And a new leak shows us why.
Sony WH-1000XM5: new features
There’s a lot here to get excited about. Battery life is up to 40 hours with noise cancelling on – a good ten hours more than the current model – and they’ve been redesigned with a thinner headband and arms that makes them look more likeBose’s 700 series. The ear cups appear to be more padded to make them even more comfortable, and there’s a new ANC processor and a new sound driver – so presumably it’s going to sound better and deliver even better noise cancelling.
We don’t know the Sony WH-1000XM5 launch date or price yet, but it’s likely to be similar to the current model – so that’s around $349 / £349 / AU$499. If that seems a bit much, the current model is widely available for around $100/£100 less than RRP right now, and we’re likely to see more deals once the new model is officially announced. And that isn’t going to be too far in the future: the leaked images came from retail, so Sony is clearly gearing up for a launch.
