- A new leak suggests that the Sony WF-1000XM6 is coming soon
- There could be a slight adjustment in terms of dimensions
- It has been two years since the Sony WF-1000XM5 headphones launched
We recently saw the headphones linked to the flagship ear WH-1000XM6 launched, but what about the equivalents of wireless heads? Well, a new leak suggests that the Sony WF-1000XM6 is not far from official either.
According to the Walkman blog (via Notebookcheck), the import documentation has surfaced which mentions the Sony WF -1000XM6 headphones by their name – describing them, somewhat strangely, as “headphones without frame”.
We do not get too much details here, but there is a reference to the case of load in the documentation, and we obtain the dimensions of the headphones: it seems that the new pair will be a little smaller on the whole than the Sony WF-1000XM5.
The dimensions listed in the leak are 84 mm x 70 mm x 55 mm for the Sony WF-1000XM6, which is compared to 99 mm x 66.4 mm x 53 mm for the Sony WF-1000XM5, but we do not get any idea of a redesign here.
Will the price be good?
Our list of what we want to see in the Sony WF-1000XM6 headphones mentions better noise cancellation, improved connectivity, better battery life, an improved IP rating, more color options and (of course) a cheaper price.
Head to our review Sony WF-1000XM5 and you will see these headphones launched at a starting price of $ 299.99 / £ 259 / £ 499 in. It was however in July 2023, and the technology industry and the world in general have changed considerably since then.
It does not seem that another launch of July is likely for 2025, but on the basis of the manufacturing stages mentioned in these import documents, the earphones should break in the coming months – so most likely before the end of the year.
Whenever the Sony WF-1000XM6 makes an appearance, they will face rigid competition in what is one of the most crowded categories of technology. We are still waiting for AirPods Pro 3, for example, but they may not appear before next year.
