Sony WF-H800, New Wireless In Ear Headset coming soon

Looks like Sony will have a lot of debuts at IFA or soon after IFA. Another wireless in-ear headset has shown up on the FCC, the WF-H800. Little is known about this device, but it will feature Bluetooth 5.0 and should be using the MT2811 BT chip so no aptX/LDAC support. It should be positioned under the new WF-1000XM3 in price.

The photos on the FCC do not provide much information or details but we know it will be an in-ear type of wireless headset, a simple design from the photo from the documents can be seen. I do not believe NC will be offered here but I could be wrong. Just like all new Sony headsets, we can expect USB type C to be present. I do wonder if we are looking at a new member of the h.ear in family (h.ear in 3) to complement the upcoming WH-H910N.

The documents show BLE using 2Mbps which is only available in Bluetooth 5.0.

Finally a small tidbit I found in the documents, where it mentions software for operating mode, which I guess is for testing the Bluetooth functionality, it has MT2811S_BT_Test. I guess we are looking at another Mediatek MT2811 device here, so no aptX support and no LDAC. This could line up nicely with that unknown device, the HDX-2941, which uses the MT2811, but this is only a guess on my part.

Update

The Korean Communications Commission had the device up earlier than the FCC, August 8th versus August 18th for FCC. So this should be a global device, unlike the WF-SP900.

    1. For now nothing on the FCC regarding any mark 4, but even if it appears after IFA, it might still be released later on this year, november/december timeframe. So there is still hope for this year, just don't think IFA is the place we will see it. Unless Sony pulls a trick on us an shows it at the show.
