According to the blog, WF-1000XM5 in-ear headphones just got their certification With the FCC, that means Sony should release them soon. The photos revealed by the site show that unlike its predecessor, the WF-1000XM4, it has a matte finish and has a glossy finish. However, it is impossible to move forward with the final design of the device, as it can only be a pre-production version or a prototype.
The design is much thinner Indeed, despite its undeniable qualities, some users only partially appreciate the size of the WF-1000XM4. When choosing new headphones, this is an argument that could tip the scales in favor of Apple AirPods, the current benchmark in terms of performance and in-ear design.
Sony’s WF-1000XM5 headphones will likely be thinner than before
A touchpad will be accessible on the exterior, and the control system will be inspired by the LinkBuds S: it will indeed be present, but not visible to the naked eye. The introduced storage case of the WF-1000XM5 has a matte finish. I’m not sure if this is the final version. The bottom of the case tells us the Sony WF-1000XM5s will charge faster. While their predecessors benefit from 140mAh charging, the new earbuds 230 mA per hour load. Does that mean 64% faster charging time?
Certification documents show us the printed circuit of the headset and tell us: the case will allow wireless charging, through the Qi standard. The microcontroller used is the same as the WF-1000XM4, but must take advantage of twice the flash memory (64 kB).
