Sony announced its class-leading noise-canceling WH-1000XM3 headphones in August of 2018. They quickly garnered praise from reviewers and users who loved the WH-1000XM3s for the fantastic sound quality and stellar noise cancelation technology. Now, we're getting our first look at the sequel, the aptly named WH-1000XM4.

The photos were discovered by Everton Favretto via Anatel, Brazil's version of the FCC. Hopefully, you were a big fan of the previous design, because not much has changed here—the WH-1000XM4s look virtually identically to its predecessor.

While the photos themselves don't reveal what kind of upgrades the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones might be sporting, the included manual helps fill in some blanks. Unfortunately, not too many blanks, as most of the pertinent information has been censored or left out.
