Sony is beginning to give hints about an intriguing new audio product. At this moment, the company isn’t sharing much information about what they’re planning. They have only suggested that a ‘new way of listening is in the works.’
Teaser Video Release
Right now, we only have one video to refer to. The video, which is linked below, mentions that Sony will reveal its new device on January 21 at 16:00 UTC. From what we can see, the unnamed device appears to be a set of headphones that rest on the ears instead of fitting inside them. This makes it seem less likely that Sony is hinting at the much-anticipated launch of the WF-1000XM6.
Speculation on New Products
According to recent leaks and gossip, Sony isn’t expected to replace the WF-1000XM5 (currently priced at $149.99 – renewed on Amazon) until February. On the other hand, The Walkman Blog suggests that this teaser could indicate a new set of in-ear earbuds, which adds fuel to the speculation about a new WF-1000X release. In the end, the video below is open to interpretation, despite the hints pointing towards a February launch for the WF-1000XM6.
