The WH-1000XM, one of Sony’s most respected families, has always been at the top of audiophiles and the vast majority of users, and has been one of the most exciting wireless headphones on the market. So it seems to be retaining its essence, but it is taking on a new role the new WH-1000XM5 arrives with a quite remarkable aesthetic design change.

Although the company did not officially announce the headset at this time, it was confirmed a few months ago that the company was preparing a successor to the WH-1000XM4, which is now coming to light. leak of several commercial images these next-generation headphones shared by TechnikNews.

As we can see, the most notable difference between WH-1000XM4 and WH-1000XM5 is that these seconds are presented in a completely new designwith a little more sober and elegant aesthetics, p better integrated earbuds and a slightly lighter headband. Focus on improvements that continue to surprise, given that the previous generation was already known for its great comfort, which could be further improved with long use.

On the other hand, it also underlines the fact that, in addition to being noticeably thinner, the headband appears to have a more separate connection system from the speakers, elimination of the previous folding system more optimized by turning 90 degrees. In addition, these pictures allow us to see it Sony would change the location of the three integrated microphones for active noise cancellation functions. The last physical change seems to be the removal of the “Custom” button, which will change to on the new headphones quick access to switch between ANC and Ambient modes.

However, as expected, TechnikNews itself assumes that the WH-1000XM5 will have some internal improvements, such as brand new drivers. Although unfortunately the possible specifications of these headphones are not known at this time.

So far, we can only speculate about its possible travel price. And this is because the price of the current model, excluding offers and special discounts, will be 380 euros, so given its better design change and expected updates and improvements, It would not be surprising if the new headphones reached a performance of 400 euros.
