After the success of the five-star Sony WF-1000XM5, we muse on what we'd like to see from the forthcoming XM6 model and how it can improve even further.
Keeping same DSEE-extreme (hoping ultimate @ even clearer sounding ES upgrade)
(Hoping) Slightly larger body
deeper bass response
Larger — longer lasting —battery (approx 1000+ hrs of use isn't long enough approx 1.5 years lifespan @ 500 life cycles)
Better battery care (case storage should have electronics AND/OR APP monitoring to prevent overcharging per user profile time/frequency used... Like XPERIA phones) option to sacrifice "standard" battery charging for lifespan(NO quick charge = which utilizes a charge cycle for constant case storage)
Mark 4 sounded the best
Bulky, but more appealing than earlier versions
Mark 5 were a major disappointment
Didn't have the soundstage (good highs. But not enough body and bass)
Plastic Looked and felt too cheap (anything glossy is a major NO)
due to decreased size the glossiness created a fumbling affect (if the matte finish most people would have no problems handling without dropping)
