It doesn't look like the redesigned Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones will pull off the impossible, retaining the 30-hour battery life rating of their forerunners.
Unfortunately, one big upgrade over the WH-1000XM4 that was largely expected to lead the list of these unannounced bad boys' major selling points may not prove to be true, according toOne of the photos clearly shows the little icons at the top of the box highlighting some of the general features prospective customers might care the most about, like built-in Alexa and Google Assistant support, native iPhone and iPod compatibility, 360 Reality Audio technology, Hi-Res...
By no means modest, the latter tidbit falls short of the recent rumor claiming Sony's WH-1000XM5 cans will be able to keep your tunes going for up to a whopping 40 hours between charges with active noise cancellation enabled the whole time. Instead, we're now likely to see the company advertise the same 30-hour endurance score with ANC on as theare capable of while going all the way up to 38 hours when switching the"industry-leading" technology off. Of course, there is a chance the latter number will be upgraded to 40 hours, which would explain the previous leak... while failing to impress us much.
Today's pics do confirm the WH-1000XM5 will look radically different from their forerunners on the outside, although you'll have to judge for yourselves if that's a good or a bad thing. They say you shouldn't try to fix what ain't broke, but with 2020's WH-1000XM4 so closely resembling their 2018 WH-1000XM3 predecessors, we can totally understand whythe already impressive noise canceling functionality to get an improvement, but worryingly,"supply chain issues" could apparently lead to a price hike over the $350 WH-1000XM4.
