Sony has been producing some of the best noise canceling headphones for the past several years and now we get a series of actual product images for the upcoming WF-1000XM4 in-ear earphones. Uncovered by The Walkman Blog, the upcoming XM4s show a more compact and round design compared to their predecessors. We can see rubber tips as well as openings for the microphones There’s speculation that Sony will also bring Hi-Res audio support.
We also have images of the charging case
which shows a slimmer profile than the outgoing XM3 case. The bottom shows a
5V/140mA charging output rating which is slightly above the WF-1000XM3’s
5V/120mA rating and should translate to faster charging speeds.
A separate leaked image also shows the
alleged XM4s will bring wireless charging. The image comes from the setting
menu on the Xperia 1 III which details an identical looking charging case used
for wireless charging. The accompanying FCC certification also mentions a June
9 availability date which details the short term confidentiality. This means
the actual Sony WF-1000XM4 should be announced officially soon after that date.
