That aside, the table suggests that the Sony WF-1000XM5 will come ANC, hi-res audio wireless, beamforming mics and bone conduction, wearing detection, multipoint connection, as well as touch controls. That’s basically everything that the current WF-1000XM4 has. While battery capacity is not listed in the comparison, the sheet notes a battery life of up to 24 hours. Notably though, there’s also the listed weight for the buds and the case, which are 5.9g and 39g, respectively, making them lighter than the current model. Beyond just the comparison, The Walkman Blog took the enlarged image of the Sony WF-1000XM 5 and superimposed the XM4 onto it to get a size comparison. Assuming the buds are the exact same, this means the upcoming model is quite a bit smaller, to go with the reduced weight. And finally, there’s the bit that raises eyebrows the most; a claim to the announcement date of the TWS buds. One reader of the blog claims that it will be announced between 5 and 9 June, and we’re already in the middle of the highlighted week. So while we should take the whole comparison table with a pinch of salt, this is especially so for this supposed release week window. (Source: The Walkman Blog)
