Sony reportedly gears up for a budget WH-1000XM4C with XM4-like features
Leaks say Sony is prepping a cheaper WH-1000XM4C variant of its six-year XM4 headphones, offering similar ANC performance (QN1-based), spatial audio, hi‑res audio support, and touch controls, but with shorter battery life. Pricing is expected at about €249.99/£219.99 (roughly $289–$297), and the launch is targeted for early September 2026 in black, silver, and lavender, continuing the XM4 line despite newer XM5/XM6 updates.
