Rumors have been circulating about Sony potentially launching new versions of the WF-1000XM6 and WH-1000XM6 for some time. This speculation is partly due to the fact that there has been no new WH-1000 or WF-1000 products released since May 2023, when Sony introduced the WF-1000XM5 (curr. $248 on Amazon).
Aging Models
On the other hand, the WH-1000XM5 is about to turn three, having been launched just under two years after the WH-1000XM4. This has led to conjectures that Sony might be gearing up to release the WH-1000XM6 and WF-1000XM6 this year to align the release schedules for both the WH-1000X and WF-1000X series.
Timeline for Release
Reports indicate that Sony is aiming to have both devices ready before July 2025. However, recent information hints that these two models may not debut at the same time, similar to the split release of the LinkBuds Open and LinkBuds Fit last fall.
So far, the WH-1000XM6 has been spotted with regulatory agencies, beginning with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States. There have been multiple sightings of this device, which seems to be in development alongside the WF-C710N. In contrast, there have been no sightings or information about the WF-1000XM6. Hence, it appears that Sony will likely stagger the launches, with the WH-1000XM6 coming out at least a month ahead of the WF-1000XM6.
