Overview
- Sony’s new flagship true‑wireless earbuds are available now for $329.99 in black and platinum silver, with retail listings at Sony, Amazon and Best Buy and some shipments starting as soon as February 16.
- Noise cancellation is claimed to be about 25% stronger than the WF‑1000XM5, driven by the new QN3e HD Noise Canceling processor working alongside the Integrated Processor V2.
- Each earbud now uses four microphones and redesigned 8.4mm drivers, with the V2 chip enabling 32‑bit processing for improved clarity, dynamic range and detail.
- The buds are about 11% slimmer with a reworked, more ergonomic shape, added ventilation to reduce occlusion effects, and a redesigned charging case that supports Qi wireless charging.
- Feature support expands to LDAC and LC3 codecs, LE Audio with Auracast, multipoint Bluetooth, a 10‑band EQ and DSEE upscaling, plus Google Gemini integration, while battery life remains rated at 8 hours per charge and 24 hours with the case.
