Sony WH-1000XM4C headphones leaked with Bluetooth 6.0

Leaked specifications for the upcoming Sony WH-1000XM4C noise-canceling headphones suggest the device will serve as a more affordable derivative of the original WH-1000XM4. Reports indicate the new model will feature Bluetooth 6.0 connectivity but may omit NFC functionality, a feature present in previous iterations of the 1000X series.

Technical specifications shared via WinFuture suggest the headphones will retain the 40mm drivers and a frequency response range of 4Hz to 40,000Hz. The device is expected to weigh approximately 253 grams. However, battery life appears to be slightly reduced compared to the 2020 model; the XM4C is projected to offer 27 hours of playback with active noise canceling enabled and 34 hours with it disabled.

While Sony has not officially announced the product, pricing leaks suggest a starting price of approximately 249.99 Euros, significantly lower than the original model's launch price. Specific details regarding audio codecs and the exact performance of the noise-canceling capabilities remain unconfirmed.
