Three years after Sony launched its flagship WH-1000XM5 headphones, a new model is on the way. The WH-1000XM6 premium headphones have recently been found on a certification platform, giving us a sneak peek into what to expect.
Design Features of WH-1000XM6
The Sony WH-1000XM6 has been listed on the FCC database with the model number YY2984 (via SmartPrix). This listing reveals some design changes, including a redesigned hinge and removable earpads. The previous model, the WH-1000XM5, debuted in May 2022 and had a mixed reception regarding its design. Sony seems to be working on improvements, but the overall dimensions might stay similar.
Enhanced Durability and Customization
It looks like Sony is aiming to create a sturdier build for the WH-1000XM6 headphones, and the removable earpads could allow for different color options, enhancing personalization. These headphones are expected to come equipped with Bluetooth 5.3 and Bluetooth LE Audio support. Additionally, a MediaTek chipset could power them, which may enable fast charging capabilities. Known for their excellent sound quality and Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), the WH-1000 series typically offers a premium audio experience.
Speculations on Launch Date
While there’s no official launch date yet, the confidentiality period for the WH-1000XM6 is set to end on July 22, 2025. This doesn’t necessarily indicate a release date, but given that the WH-1000XM5 came out in mid-2022, it’s possible that the new model could arrive around the same timeframe. However, it’s important to note that this timeline is purely speculative and should be taken with caution. For now, that’s all the information available, so stay tuned for updates.
