Sony Announces WF-1000XM5 Earbuds with Multipoint Support and Smaller Design

Sony would like to announce its WF-1000XM5 earbuds next week. The new version has multipoint support and is a lot smaller than the predecessors, WF-1000XM4. It came out two years ago.

Sony has a stream ready for next Monday with the title ‘the best silence drops’. The Japanese site dedicated to the event is called ‘All you need is 5ilent’, a clear reference to a fifth-generation product and to noise reduction.

There have been rumors about the upcoming release for months. A Croatian webshop has put the earplugs online at a price of 319 euros, which is in line with an award previously mentioned by WinFuture tech journalist Roland Quandt. The WF-1000XM4 was released in 2021 for 279 euros.

The new earbuds offer multipoint, better noise reduction and a smaller and lighter design, the rumors say which The Walkman Blog has listed. They weigh 5.9g and have so-called Dynamic Driver X drivers with a diameter of 8.4mm. Both earbuds have three microphones to pick up the ambient noise and ensure that the active noise cancellation works properly.

The earbuds are said to support Sony HiRes audio and DSEE Extreme. In addition, the WF-1000XM5 would feature bone conduction sensors and Precise Voice Pickup technology, which would allow the wearer’s voice to always be picked up during conversations, even in noisy environments. Sony’s earbuds are type numbered with WF, while the headphones are type numbered with WH. The M5 stands for Mark 5, the fifth generation of this product.
