A recent file with the US Communications Commission (FCC) suggests that Sony could soon launch its new flagship antibruity helmet, the WH-1000XM6.
The FCC folder, spotted by the Walkman blog, reveals some design modifications, including a new hinge design and removable ear pads.
A product diagram also shows that the ear cushion can be removed to reveal a plate with the model and the serial number, which could mean that the ear cushions are fixed without screws. Many conceptions on the market use magnets so that Sony can take this path.
The model number of new headphones is YY2984, similar to the YY2954 of the XM5. The FCC's confidentiality request expires on July 22, 2025, indicating a possible official launch or shortly after this date.
Sony published the latest version of the headphones, the WH-1000XM5, three years ago. They were praised several times as the best on the market and will compete with the headphones Bose Quietcomfort and Sonos Ace.
