Sony’s Next Pair of Wireless Headphones Might Actually Fit Your Budget
Sony is reportedly preparing to launch a more affordable version of its flagship WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones, dubbed the WH-1000XM4C. The new model is expected to retain most premium features, such as active noise cancellation and high-res codec support, while being priced approximately $100 lower than the original.
Why it matters
This move signals a strategic shift for Sony to capture the mid-range audio market, making premium noise-canceling technology more accessible to budget-conscious consumers.
Sony’s flagship WH-series wireless headphones are pretty great; their audio quality is excellent, as is their ANC, and they’re comfortable, to top it all off. With all of those great qualities, though, comes a price that not everyone is willing to pay, and for those people, there may be hope still.
According to a leak from Dealabs (machine translated), Sony has a new pair of wireless headphones in the works, with a much more approachable price. The wireless headphones, according to the leak, are actually a variant of Sony’s former flagship WH-1000XM4 and will be dubbed the WH-1000XM4C.
