Sony Reintroduces Its Popular WH-1000XM4 Headphones as the XM4C
Six years after their initial release, Sony has reintroduced its highly acclaimed WH-1000XM4 headphones under a new name: the WH-1000XM4C. The model retains much of the original design and features that made it popular in 2020 but includes minor updates such as improved sound profiles with a 10-band EQ, support for Bluetooth 6, and additional color options like lavender. Despite these enhancements, battery life has slightly decreased from 30 to 27 hours. The XM4C will be priced at $300 when it launches later this fall—$50 less than the original XM4 but more expensive than Sony’s newer models such as the XM6 and currently discounted XM5. Alongside the XM4C, Sony also updated two of its lower-tier headphone lines: the WH-CH730N and WH-CH530. These models now include a 10-band EQ, gaming presets, improved battery life (up to 50–55 hours), and new color options.
