Sony is a leading company in the wearable audio market, and we’re all looking forward to the Sony WF-1000XM5. These are the company’s upcoming TWS earbuds, and they promise to be an improvement over the previous version. Well, according to the European price, it seems that the Sony WF-1000XM5 might have a price increase.
Sony’s new earbuds have been popular, but the Sony WF-1000XM4 were a hit among audiophiles. If you’re looking for a great audio experience, you don’t want to spend too much money, and you don’t mind using an older set of earbuds, then you can look into picking up a pair of those earbuds. You can find them on Amazon as low as $199 if you look.
The European price of the Sony WF-1000XM5 point to a price bump
When the Sony WF-1000XM4 launched back in 2021, they retailed for €279. While that’s still a hefty price, the Sony WF-1000XM5 could see a 15% price increase. According to Notebookcheck.com (via Techradar), the Sony WF-1000XM5 might cost €319.99 in Europe. That’s about a €40 increase. If this is true, then we might be looking at a price of $319.99 in the US and £287 in the UK.
That’s unfortunate for people who were expecting a comparable price to 2021’s release. However, as you can expect with a two-year jump, the Sony WF-1000XM5 are going to be a notable improvement over the Sony WF-1000XM4.
Rumors have it that these earbuds will come with two in-house chips that will give them superior audio quality. Aside from that, the microphones will also see an improvement along with the drivers. Also, they’re expected to be almost 20% lighter at about 5.9g.
Right now, it’s hard to tell if these earbuds will be worth the extra money, but it seems like they will. If you’re a fan of Sony’s earbuds, then you might just have an amazing experience with these new earbuds.
