Sony’s WH-1000XM3 over-ear, noise-canceling headphones have been some of the best on the market, with very good noise cancellation, the best sound of any of the WH-1000X series, and improved fit from previous versions. But it appears a new version of Sony’s wireless cans are on way, as filings for what appear to be the WH-1000XM4s just hit the FCC over the weekend.
Unfortunately, there isn’t much we can glean from the filings. Companies often file required documents about new products with the FCC long before the public sees or hears anything about them, and the companies can request the FCC keep some documents confidential, like photos of the product and the user manual. Sony has kept both under wraps with its WH-1000XM4 filings.
