Hands-on photos with the WH-1000XM5 have leaked online, not long after marketing images appeared. While design changes extend to Sony's packaging, the WH-1000XM5 will in fact retain its predecessor's battery life.

No longer foldable? No AptX Adaptive? Deal Breaker. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Is it me, or the "new" design shares a lot of similarities with headphone like the 700 from Bose or even the Huawei Freebuds Studio ?
There are some minor changes like the ear cups that are angled, etc., but we were expecting more form Sony  ;)

Need Aptx Low Latency really, Aptx Adaptive only works with Android... Very limiting...
