Sony is resurrecting one of its most popular audio products by introducing the new WH-1000XM4C headphones. After the original model was discontinued, the company decided to bring back the beloved foldable design that fans missed in subsequent releases, outfitting it with subtle modern improvements.
While retaining classic internal components like the QN1 processing chip, the new version upgrades connectivity with Bluetooth 6 and introduces a 10-band EQ via the companion app. Alongside this release, Sony updated its mid-range and entry-level headphone lines and announced a limited Hello Kitty collaboration bundle.
Priced at $300, the headphones offer a cheaper alternative to the current flagship models while targeting users who prefer a compact, folding form factor. It remains to be seen whether consumers will embrace this blast from the past in a rapidly evolving audio market.
