Three years after Sony unveiled the flagship WH-1000XM5 headphones, a successor is finally in the works. The company’s WH-1000XM6 premium headphones have just been spotted on a certification platform. So here’s what we know so far.
Sony WH-1000XM6 visits FCC
The Sony WH-1000XM6 was spotted on FCC carrying the YY2984 model number on the FCC database (Via SmartPrix). We also get a glimpse at its design elements. The upcoming WH-1000XM6 features an overhauled hinge design with removable earpads. To recall, the Sony WH-1000XM5 was released back in May 2022 with a revamped design, which had a mixed reception. So the brand could be improving on its design. However, the overall size might remain the same.
The brand could be planning on offering a more durable body on these headphones and these removable earpads could also offer a variety of color variants for added customization. Sony’s WH-1000XM6 is expected to launch with support for Bluetooth 5.3 along with support for Bluetooth LE Audio. Under the hood, a chipset from MediaTekcould power these premium headphones, which might bring fast charging support as well. The WH-1000 series is known for its impressive audio quality and ANC (Active Noise Cancellation), so we can expect high-end audio and great noise cancellation.
An official launch date is still unclear, but the confidentiality period for the new WH-1000XM6 lasts till 22nd July 2025. This isn’t an official release timeframe. Considering how the WH-1000XM5s released in mid-2022, the next gen model could debut around the same time. Keep in mind that this is still just speculation, so take this with a pinch of salt for now. This is all the information we have at the moment, so stick around for more.
