Sony may re-release its 2020 over-ear headphones for around $250, leak reveals

Sony is reportedly preparing to re-release its 2020 over-ear headphones, the WH-1000XM4, at a lower price point, according to a recent leak. The refreshed variant, named the WH-1000XM4C, will include new colors like Platinum Silver, Black, and Lavender, which were not available in the initial release. Despite featuring largely unchanged hardware, the updated headphones will have a slightly shorter battery life of 34 hours, compared to the original 38-hour rating.

The re-release comes at a more affordable price, with estimates suggesting that the headphones could sell for around $250 in the US market. This would be significantly lower than the current flagship model, the WH-1000XM6, which starts at around $450. Sony is expected to launch the refreshed headphones on September 7, giving consumers a budget-friendly option for those who previously owned the original model.
