- Sony WF-1000XM6 identified in FCC certification documents
- May present DSEE Ultimate Audio Upscaling, a first for headphones
- Sony WH-1000XM6 and WF-1000XM5 has just received software updates
Sony has published two important updates for its headphones Sony WF-1000XM5 and Sony Wh-1000XM6, and at the same time, he seems to prepare to launch his new generation WF-1000XM6 headphones.
Improvements come from firmware updates: 6.0.0 for XM5 and 3.0.0 headphones for XM6 headphones. The two updates offer an improved audio Bluetooth, which is now supported in the digital assistant and the head tracking features. It is also in the Find Hub of the XM6, as indicated by Notebookcheck.
The headphones and headphones get the management of Gemini Live and for audio sharing via a quick pair, as well as the usual adjustments. The XM5 headphones also get an improvement in the hub which allows you to search for each individual earpiece and deactivate the center without using the charging box.
While these upgrades take place, it seems that the WF-1000XM6 headphones can take place very soon in shipping containers.
WF-1000XM6 Sony headphones: When do they arrive and what improvements are expected?
The Walkman blog has noticed that the XM6 headphones have now been certified by the US FCC, two and a little weeks after a similar certification in China. As with this certification, Sony discloses as little information as possible, but the deposit confirms that the battery inside is a 3.85 V familiar model and the antenna is similar to that of the WF-1000XM5 headphones.
The test software is the same as for the Sony Linkbuds, which are based on a Mediatek system on a chip, and the latter note may add something a little juicy to make the new Sony headphones that deserve to be expected.
According to a prediction by the Walkman blog, the WF-1000XM6 can be the first Sony listening to support DSEE Ultimate, thanks to the integrated AI engine on the latest Mediatek chips.
DSEE is short for Digital Sound Enhancement Engine and its work consists of high -end audio files, which makes Bluetooth audio sound compressed above; According to Sony, the ultimate version “offers even greater advantages for Codec audio without CD quality (16 bits 44.1 / 48 kHz). Catering of acoustic and dynamic range, it offers a richer and more complete listening experience.”
The FCC file could indicate a fairly short expectation for the official version: it has an expiration date of March 2026, but as the Walkman blog notes, Sony often launches products earlier than these dates: the FCC file of WF-1000XM5 had an expiration at the end of August, but the earphones were launched the previous month.
It is therefore possible that the WF -1000XM6 can be officially revealed in CES or around these in January 2026 and ship the following month – but it is also possible that they can always land in time for Christmas 2025.
We thought that the Sony WF -1000XM5 was a little unleashed – very good overall, but unusually for Sony, they were not the best in its category among the best headphones for the cancellation of noise even at launch, or for sound quality, but they came with a steep price increase. Hoping that the XM6 buds will be able to properly the lessons.
