Sony is gearing up to launch the next generation of its premium headphones. The company’s WH-1000XM5 has just been spotted on FCC certification database, which has revealed some interesting information about it.
For those unaware, the Sony WH-1000XM5 will be the successor to the WH-1000XM4, which was quite popular in the high end headphones market. And now, it seems like the Japanese tech giant is seeking to launch its successor soon. Notably, we had recently also reported on the brand working on a new premium Linkbuds WF-L900 earbuds as well. So it seems like the company is planning on releasing both in ear and over the ear design audio products soon.
Looking at the FCC certification (Via NotebookCheck), the listing reveals that the headphones in question carry the model number YY2954. Unfortunately, the certification does not reveal finer details regarding the upcoming flagship headphones, although, they do offer some interesting details. It appears that the headphones could be receiving a redesign, since Sony has also printed the FCC IC, model number, and IC number within the headband of the WH-1000XM5, which wasn’t the case with the WH-1000XM4 model.
The FCC database also revealed that the YY2954 also has a 3.8 V rated battery pack, up from the 3.7 V on the WH-1000XM4. It will even feature support for 5 V / 9 V charging, which hints at the headphones supporting fast charging as well. Apart from this, The Walkman Blog found that an import listing for the YY2954, which is being shipped into Hong Kong and India. Reportedly, the company has created prototypes that are available in black and silver. Unfortunately, that is all the information we have at the moment, so stay tuned for more updates.
