Sony rescues the XM4 with a new XM4C release, but the move stirs XM5 questions
Sony has unveiled the WH-1000XM4C, a revived XM4 that uses the same hardware but a DSP-tuned sound, priced around £219 / $300 / AU$449.95, placing it close to the XM5; the XM5 is reportedly headed for end-of-life in February due to EU battery regulations, making the XM4C a compliant alternative and prompting questions about the XM5’s value, with pricing shifts at retailers potentially affecting choice while full in-house testing is still pending.
