Sony is keeping details about its upcoming WH-1000XM4 true wireless headphones to a minimum. Here’s all the information we have so far about the WH-1000XM4.
The lid has been lifted on the Sony WH-1000XM4, the company’s previously best-kept secret and the long-awaited update to the best-in-class WH-1000XM3, thanks to a listing for the product on Walmart’s website.
Some of the details have slowly been uncovered by previous leaks, and we still don’t know when these new headphones are due to be released. But we now know a lot about what Sony has in store with the WH-1000XM4.
Thanks to a filing with Anatel, a Brazilian telecommunications agency, we have an idea of what the WH-1000XM4 will look like. The design, we’re happy to report, isn’t all that new.
When we got our hands on the WH-1000XM3 for the product’s inaugural review, the slim profile, lightweight feel, and comfortable fit stood out. From the photos included in the filing, the upcoming WH-1000XM4 look similar to their predecessors, which is fine by us.
Walmart’s listing also tells us that Sony’s latest flagship headphones will once again use 40mm drivers with a frequency response up to 40kHz.
The Sony WH-1000XM3 came loaded with 30 hours of battery life and an exceptionally quick charging time that yielded five hours of playback after 10 minutes of charging. That was an impressive feat, to say the least, and the new headphones seem to be maintaining the status quo.
