Sony launched the WH-1000XM5 (such a beautiful identify, is not it?) over-the-ear noise canceling headphones again in Might of 2022, and consider it or not, that is nearly three years in the past.
So in case you’ve been patiently ready for the successor to point out up, it appears to be like prefer it’s lastly on its means. The WH-1000XM6 (critically nice naming!) has the mannequin quantity YY2984 and what look like detachable earpads together with a redesigned hinge.
That would amp up the longevity of this set, since in concept Sony might provide alternative earpads if yours break. Or it might promote numerous colours of earpads individually to help you customise your headphones extra.
The XM6 (we’re simply going to name them that) have help for Bluetooth 5.3, which can or might not imply they are going to help Bluetooth LE audio. The SoC powering them could possibly be made by MediaTek. Quick charging will probably be supported. The driving force dimension appears to be the identical as within the XM5.
The confidentiality window expires on July 22, 2025, however this doesn’t suggest that is when they are going to be introduced. That is simply when the FCC will make public its pictures of the machine together with its handbook. For reference, observe that the XM5 was introduced 13 weeks earlier than its confidentiality interval with the FCC ended, so we assume one thing related will occur this time round. Because the finish of the confidentiality interval is just a few weeks earlier, maybe the official announcement might come as quickly as April.
