They've gotten certified by the FCC, so the launch could happen very soon.

Case looks nice, let's just hope it feels nice too. It boggled my mind when I got my hands on the XM4 earbuds by how cheap the case felt, judging by the build quality and how it felt to the touch. It is a wobbly, squeaky mess... and I don't understand why it's got so many nooks and crannies on the inside for earwax to get trapped into. Truly a PITA to keep clean.

    Sony makes some great products across so many different groups. Though one has to agree that their prices are delusional. That's probably the sole reason their phones sell 1/100th that of Apple.

      All I want from Sony is IPX6 minimum. IPX4 is kind of bad for the price when my $90 1More Evo buds do the same thing with LDAC as well.

        bought lenoxo xt99 15x cheaper and great sound quality worth than 250$ tws xD

          Orbiter, 16 Mar 2023I'll never buy Sony buds ever again. Foam tips disinte... moreTry in other places prob. The customer service in Malaysia is great. Mine was under the extra warranty for registering and they fixed the problem without any questions or extra charges.

                  Looks like a boxing gloves

                    I'll never buy Sony buds ever again. Foam tips disintegrate after a month and "customer service" gives no help at all.

                      Most likely won’t beat Apple AirPods Pro 2
