Sony YY2986 Confirmed as WF-C710N

Sony's WF-C700N successor leaked at the start of the year. and when I wrote the post, I was not sure if Sony would use WF-C710N as the new model name. Well I can now confirm that indeed WF-C710N will be the new model name for the WF-C700N successor.

Thanks to a newly released import filling, the YY2986 model code can be paired up with the WF-C710N model name.

So there we have it, the new model will indeed be called WF-C710N. For the previous YY2986 posts with photos of the headset, see here and here, but here is a quick summary of what we know so far:

• 4 colours - black, white, pink, transparent blue
• Noise Cancellation
  
• 3.85V 70mAh earbud battery
• 3.85V 500mAh case battery
• No wireless charging
• USB cable will be included in the box
  
• Proximity sensor for auto pause/play
• Possible LE Audio support

This is all the information so far from all the certifications. We still lack the codec support, battery life, type of noise cancellation, single or dual mic, driver size, and pricing. I am looking forward to the release.

The short term confidentiality date is June 14 2025, but we could see these announced possibly much earlier. Perhaps April 2025, as the WF-C700N were announced back in April in 2023.
