Sony teardown reveals hot new features due for upcoming WH-1000XM4 headphones - Android Police

Sony's WH-1000XM3 headphones are pretty much the gold standard for over-ear Bluetooth noise-canceling headphones, topping the recommendation lists everywhere, including here. Building upon everything Sony's accomplished (including the derpy name), details surrounding the upcoming WH-1000XM4 have leaked courtesy of a teardown of Sony's Headphones Connect app.

The teardown by @justplayinghard, supplemented by an additional teardown from XDA Developers, reveals quite a few details regarding the upcoming headphones, though you can't tell by looking at them. Physical design based on images in the app makes it look just about identical to the existing WH-1000XM3, but that familiar shell hides plenty of hype.

The new XM4s will support pairing for multiple devices, though only two devices can be paired at any one time, and you'll have to give up the higher quality LDAC audio codec to do it. However, the headphones will be able to store even more Bluetooth pairings, you'll just have to disconnect to move between them. The headphones will also support something called DSEE Extreme, which is speculated to be an AI-enhanced version of DSEE HX, an audio quality upscaling feature already present on the older XM3.

Upcoming XM4 looks identical to the old XM3 model, according to images found in the teardown.

Lastly, a new Smart Talking feature could be an Ambient Sound Mode on automated steroids, allowing the headphones to detect voices and automatically enable and disable Ambient Sound Mode, with both a user-configurable sensitivity setting and a configurable delay before noise canceling kicks back in.

The XM4 will come in Black, Silver, and White color options. Real-world photos of the headphones in Black also cruised past Brazi's Anatel FCC-equivalent regulatory body a couple months back, complete with a user manual that references a "speak to chat" feature, which could be how Smart Talking gets branded in some markets.
