Sony WF-1000XM4 firmware update, version 1.1.5

Sony WF-1000XM4

Sony has released their first firmware update for the new WF-1000XM4. The version is now 1.1.5 and this update improves Bluetooth connection stability. Reading some reddit posts, it looks like some people have issues installing the firmware but I suspect this might be down to the earbuds powering down and the install failing.

Another day, another retail listing. This will probably be removed shortly but I have gathered all the information from it. The listing provides two new details, the driver size, still 6mm unfortunately and that Speak-to-Chat uses Sony's Precise Voice Pickup technology which uses 4 microphones for better voice quality.
