Sony’s next generation of premium headphones could be getting a global launch announcement soon. The brand unveiled its last flagship WH-1000XM5 model back in 2022, and now it appears a successor is right around the corner. The Sony WH-1000XM6 has just surfaced in another certification platform, so here’s what we know.
Sony WH-1000XM6 spotted on Singapore’s IMDA
The Japanese tech giant’s upcoming high end headphones jut recently visited the IMDA database, which is a Singaporean certification (via 91Mobiles). The Sony WH-1000XM6 carried the YY2984 model number. While this listing does not reveal any finer details like its specifications, design, or other notable details, it does confirm that it is a “Wireless Noise Cancelling Stereo Headset”, which supports Bluetooth.
To recall, this is the same model number as the one spotted on the FCC certification last month, which had revealed a lot more details regarding the WH-1000XM6. The brand is apparently planning a design overhaul with a new hinge. Removable earpads were also confirmed along with its general design. Sony’s WH-1000XM6 is expected to launch with support for Bluetooth 5.3 and support for Bluetooth LE Audio. Under the hood, a chipset from MediaTek might power these premium headphones and it will likely support fast charging support as well.
Sony might unveil the WH-1000XM6 headphones in the second quarter of this year (between April and May). Sources have claimed that it will be available in three color options, namely river, blue, and black. The headphones may house 30mm drivers as well as aptX codec from Qualcomm for higher audio quality. This is all the information we have at the moment, so stay tuned for more.
