After a year and a half of waiting, we can confidently say that the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones are on the way.

The Sony WH-1000XM line of headphones is considered by many to be the best in class both overall and in terms of the quality of the noise canceling technology. And in any selection of the best models, Sony's solution is almost always either there, or generally takes first place. The WH-1000XM4 debuted in August 2020 without any major changes. It's not yet clear what's new with the WH-1000XM5, but it looks like they're just around the corner.

Headphones lit up in the FCC database, which hints at an imminent announcement. Data is still scarce. The battery voltage has increased from 3.7 to 3.8 V, support for fast charging has appeared. The power is unknown, but the list of supported voltages includes 5 and 9 V.

There is also a nuance that one of the sources considers a possible hint of a design change. The fact is that the new model has an identifier printed on the headband, unlike the WH-1000XM4. But, of course, one cannot say anything here.

After a year and a half of waiting, we can confidently say that the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones are on the way.
