Back in May. the internal code for the WF-1000XM6 was revealed by none other than Sony in their Sound Connect app. Since that post, not only has Sony removed any mention of the WF-1000XM6 in the app, they also removed all of the YY codes.
Apart from the information from Sony's app, we had no direct evidence of the WF-1000XM6, until today. An import filing has appeared which shows the WF-1000XM6 (YY2985).
Funny enough, the new earbuds are described as "Headphones without a frame". The new model was imported into Vietnam for testing, and in black. This import filing is a good indicator that we should see the earbuds later this year. I am hopeful we will see an actual certification soon, which will reveal more details.
I know people have been waiting for some information about the new model, but I have not received anything from my sources yet, but at least we know the earbuds are coming.
Bluetooth SoC
I forgot to add this information earlier. I wrote about the Mediatek MT2855 in previous posts, but only the Google Fast Pair compatibility page showed the chip. But a while back, the chipset was finally certified on Bluetooth SIG. There is no certainty we will see this in the new WF-1000XM6, but it would make sense.

Nice to see new rumblings. If you had to make a prediction on price at this stage, what are you thinking?

DeleteSony raised the price of the wh-1000xm6, so I would expect higher price on the new wf xm6
DeleteWF, WH, and WI - Interesting! What is Sony's naming scheme really? Wireless Frameless, Headphones, and Interconnected - or what? Anyone knows?
ReplyDeleteDidn't we always know that the earbuds were coming? The real question has always been when.
