- The Sony WF-1000XM5 images have leaked.

- A teardown of the buds and case reveals features we can expect from the buds.
Sony’s wildly popular WF-1000XM4 noise-cancelling earbuds have set high expectations for the Sony WF-1000XM5. A Sony WF-1000XM5 leak from The Walkman Blog gives us a concrete idea of what the anticipated XM5 earbuds will look like.
According to the Sony WF-1000XM5 leak, earbuds take on a rounded shape that appears to be more compact than the XM4 buds. While it can be difficult to see in the photo, a hole in the left earbud is likely for the microphone array. A sticker on the earbuds indicates they’re manufactured in China. The charging case FCC ID and model number match Sony’s February 22, 2023, FCC filing for a “wireless noise cancelling stereo headset.”
