There are some models of headphones that generate enough expectation in each generation that launches. We are obviously talking about the WH-1000X from Sony, a noise-canceling headphones that year after year has confirmed that it is one of the best options that can be found on the market. Considering that, are you one of those waiting with open arms for the M4 version? Well all its details have been leaked.
Features of the Sony WH-1000XM4
No, the headphones have not been announced yet, and although the rumors pointed out that sooner or later we would know something about them, it has been the large Walmart chain that has come forward with a page of the product accidentally published in its catalog. Thanks to this entry, we can now know all the new features that the new version will include, but everything indicates that technologically it will not present major changes compared to the current version.
The technical sheet of the product hanging at Walmart has revealed the following technical keys that these new WH-1000XM4 will have :
- Industry leading noise cancellation : Sony’s noise cancellation technology is one of the best on the market and will continue to be present in these models.
- Ambient Sound Control : You can choose to completely isolate yourself, listen to only voices, or stay in touch with the outdoors with Ambient Sound Control.
- Proprietary technology for premium sound : Up to 990 kbps of data with integrated LDAC to achieve transfer rates three times higher than Bluetooth, without loss of definition and with the best quality. The 40mm drivers promise high-quality sound by reproducing frequencies up to 40 kHz.
- Real-time restoration of compressed files : Artificial intelligence Edge-AI developed by Sony Music Entertainment will identify individual music genres and elements in each song to enhance the sound experience.
- Autonomy for a whole day of use : 30 hours of battery on a single charge, with autonomies of 5 hours for charges of only 10 minutes.
- Touch control : The classic touch controls on one side of the earpiece.
- Handsfree for calls : Bluetooth handsfree with integrated microphone to answer your calls.
- Multiple connection : You can connect your headphones to two Bluetooth devices at the same time, and the headset will automatically switch when, for example, you receive a call on your phone. In addition, you can change from one to another with a single button.
- Adaptive Sound Control : The device automatically detects if you are walking, working or traveling by subway to automatically calibrate the noise cancellation and adjust it to the environment.
- Comfort: Soft and comfortable pads to avoid affecting the experience of use after several hours with them on.
The secret will be in the software
Year after year Sony hasn’t kept surprising with more precise adjustments to its noise cancellation system and minor tweaks that made the headphones a better product generation after generation. This year the formula seems to be repeating itself, and the brand has decided to rely on artificial intelligence technology to improve musical reproduction.
At the moment the aesthetic plan is a mystery, and although we do not expect major changes, it seems that the brand will introduce a new Silver color among the list of available versions, adding to the classic beige (now indicated as white, eye) and black .
How much do these new headphones cost?
The Walmart website has not included images of the product, however, it has labeled the price of $ 349 , an amount that would resemble the launch price of previous generations, so we would not find major changes in this regard.
