Walmart continues its tradition of leaking products early and the latest to fall victim are the highly anticipated Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones. They are currently listed on the retailer’s website complete with a detailed feature breakdown and pricing.
It appears to be the XM4s will be a slight update to the by now superb WH-1000XM3s with the addition of some new AI tweaks for genuine-time upscaling of compressed songs data files. The about portion also reveals the new model will arrive with the identical 40mm Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) drivers, 30-hour battery existence and side contact controls. Sony’s class-major sounds cancellation is also mentioned in the listing, but it is really unclear if anything at all about it improved.
A while back, news broke out that Sony is ready to add a new “Smart Talking” feature to the XM4s which will trigger an ambient sound mode once it detects the user is trying to speak to someone and automatically adjust the music and noise cancellation after the conversation is over.
Earlier this year, we saw live photos of the headphones from a listing on Brazil’s Anatel certification agency which confirmed the design. The new Walmart listing has the Sony WH-1000XM4 listed at $348 which is exactly the same price as their predecessor.
