The WH-1000XM3 et XM4 have allowed (rightly, they are very satisfactory models) to Sony to be among the best sellers of the crowded market of headphones with active ambient noise reduction (ANC). Our German colleagues from TechnikNews published the first pictures of the next evolution of this best seller. In addition to a revised and more modern design (but which no longer seems foldable), the new model would offer new speakers, improved audio processing and ANC thanks to a new chip, as well as 40 hours of battery life with ANC10 hours more than the previous generation.
As a reminder, the WH-1000XM4 embeds the practical multipoint Bluetooth (allowing simultaneous pairing of two devices, a smartphone and a computer or tablet for example), the Q1N processor for active ambient noise reduction (analyzing the environment 700 times per second to better adapt the rendering), five microphones and technology Precise Voice Pickup
40mm speakers, touch controls, and 30 hours of battery life with ANC (38 hours without).
