Although not mentioned explicitly in Sony's teaser, it is almost certain that the WF-1000XM5 will launch next week. These earbuds should arrive with 8.4 mm drivers, three microphones, and improved real-time noise cancellation. Bluetooth 5.3, wireless charging, and multipoint connectivity are also expected.

    I just love how Sony always manages to name their products something completely indistinguishable from any other product they make.

      Just call them SonyPods or something and it will be easy for so many people to remember

      I mean, it’s the standard East Asian consumer electronics model number scheme. A jumble of letters and numbers! Would you like the TV OP65-05PKK06J or the OD65-06PKJ06E? What’s the difference? No one knows!

    $360 is a little too much for earbuds imo but I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on these when price drops or refurbished units come out

      I’d bite if it came with a lifetime guarantee against failure, accidental included. Buds are just too fragile for this kind of price.
