Sony is in the headlines now because of a pretty significant leak that just happened. The design for the Sony Xperia 1 V was revealed, but the leaks don’t stop there. Thanks to Kuba Wojciechowski on Twitter, we have a leak of some upcoming Sony headphones and speakers that the company is launching.
This leak looks pretty solid, but as with any leak, you’ll want to take it with a grain of salt. We’ll want to wait on official word from the company to tell for sure. We’re not sure when Sony plans on announcing these products. However, MWC is coming up, so it’s possible that we’ll see these devices there.
New leak shows Sony headphones and speakers
This leak shows us four different products, and some of them come in different colors. Starting off with the Sony headphones, the leak shows us an affordable pair that comes in two colors. They’re called the Sony WH-CH520, and it looks like they’ll be the successor to the Sony WH-CH510 from last year. Those headphones were an affordable pair of headphones that offered some serious bang for your buck.
Looking at the pictures, they seem to be a bit rounder than last year’s iteration, and they lack the distinct texture that they had. We don’t have any specs on these headphones, but we expect similar (and, hopefully, improved) performance.
Next up, we have a some speakers coming from the company. The first is the MagicBucket Bluetooth speaker (HT-AX7). This device has an odd shape, but it seems to work. The MagicBucket has an ovular body that we expect to house some drivers. On top of the device, we see what looks like two more speakers. If anything, this speaker will deliver a big sound.
The Sony SRS-XV500 looks like it will be a relatively large speaker to take to parties or large gatherings. Looking at the model number, it looks like it will be a less-premium version of the SRS-XV900. That speaker is a large and pricey party speaker. So, we expect to see a more affordable price with the SRS-XV500.
Rounding out the list, we have the SRS-XB100 speakers. These are the smallest of the bunch, and the most affordable. These look like they’re meant to be used for personal use. These speakers look like they’ll come in four different colors: White, Black, Orange, and Teal.
