Availability and pricing for the LinkBuds S have leaked. Reputedly, the earbuds will arrive less than a week after the WH-1000XM5 and will cost slightly more than the original LinkBuds. However, the LinkBuds S will also undercut the WF-1000XM4, while retaining ANC and the latter's design.

Confused.
You say there's no WH-1000XM5 imminent but spent a good bit of time talking about it, saying it may launch before the Linkbuds. Which is it? Is there a WH-1000XM5 coming shortly or not?
The wh1000xm5 is supposed to be announced the 11th or 12th of may of in not mistaken.
But the WF1000xm5 hasn't been leaked yet.
