This leak might show Sony’s WH-1000XM5 headphones.

), filings for the FCC and other regulators that outlined a new model were spotted in February. One key item revealed is that the FCC labeling has moved, going from the headband itself to underneath an ear pad, whichImage:Pictures of the leaked models in their carrying case show a design that ditches the collapsible folding of the XM4 that tucked one cup inside the other. Still, in these pictures, it seems doubtful they’ll take up much more space on a desk, stand, or in your bag.

The button previously labeled “Custom” is in the same place as before but now marked NC/Ambient, which probably reflects what most people use it for, rather than integrated voice assistants or anything else. Last year’s model iterated on its award-winning predecessor with “Speak to Chat,” which silences music if it hears you trying to speak to someone, and multipoint Bluetooth audio that stayed connected to more than one device at a time. The latter feature was much more useful, although it did have some glitches at launch. Software updates helped it work better, but any improvement in helping the headphones decide which device to connect to and when would be welcome.

There’s no word on pricing or a release date, but the WH-1000XM4 cost $349.99 at launch, and retailers like

Design team is copying Apple’s AirPods Max.. 😏

Going for the bose look I'm all for it

Under pressure after AirPods Max. Apple makes everything default!

Looks like the Bose 700

I actually love it

Looks more apple-y than the airpods max. Impressive!

Sleek headband but HUGE ear cups! I’m sitting this one out!! 😜

Probably still going to be a terrible sounding headphone its shame because the noise cancelling is excellent

I like this look alot more then the xm4s, alot more stylish

I love my XM4s I’m on my second pair of XM4s cause I wore out the first pair after wearing them basically all day everyday in 2020 and 2021. But if this is the new design I’ll have to try them before I commit see how they feel.

Looks like airpods pro max combined with QC 700

I wonder how much Sony has paid Verge … to call this piece of crap “sleek”.

Reminds me of the Bose QuietComfort 4’s

If the new design is the one on the right, it's ugly as hell

This is not a sleek new design.

I like the previous design! It’s iconic!

They look like they might lost their fold up capability. For storage

Wouldn't go near Sony , their customer service is dog 💩 and have had issues with them in the past !!!!

DetroitBORG The new design (I assume the one on the right) looks very similar to the air pods max. It's obviously not a 1:1 match, but it looks very similar.

yyyyyeah im just gonna get the xm4 lol

Not like AirPods max tho

Hope that new Bluetooth version will make it even better?

Not a fan. This design looks much less comfortable around the headband, a lot less sturdy for travel and normal wear/tear, and it also just looks a lot cheaper. These resemble more of a cheap knockoff of the AirPods Max. Probably gonna just stick with my XM4s

Copycat billieeilish 🐈

wow loving the design of the new Sony Wtfisthisnamingscheme100-Xm5

This new design is screaming 'imma charge you 500 bucks'

Just relaased those damn headphones already Sonos or I am going with these…👀

can’t wait for the Sony UJAOUSMAKJQN-2V1_ÆmKALW

Soporta lossless 😱

Any release date ? Lol. Gotta save up

Just to be named xqoppp-10000000jkjkjk.

Will they work with the Sony PS5? The WH-1000XM4, the previous flagship, headphones still do not! 😲

It seems to me that the design is terrible

Hope they hit the market by end of 2022 🤞

This is ugly.

Looks like it's gonna be $400-$500 sleek

S3NT1N3L17 on brand I guess

Doesn't it look like huawei free buds studio copied ?

Getting closer to bose 700, huh

Wut?
