The unannounced Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones will keep the same high-quality sound features from the previous models but slightly change the design. The WH-1000XM5 marks a slight departure from the aesthetics of the WH-1000XM3 and XM4, yet they remain recognizable as Sony’s top-tier wireless headphones.
The high-res pictures published recently by TechnikNews show a new design for Sony’s WH-1000XM5, which comes in line with today’s modern trends. The headphones now feature a more seamless, compact design, but Sony kept the color choice at the minimum: Black and Silver.
It feels like Sony’s language design for this specific lineup of products has finally matured. Although very simple and compact, the modern design of the WH-1000XM5 is ultimately meant to enhance ease-of-use and functionality.
Unfortunately, not much is known about the technical specifications except for the fact that they should provide up to 40 hours of battery life with ANC enabled, a 10-hour increase from the previous model. No release date or price has been leaked yet, but we’re likely to learn more in the not-so-distant future.
