Sony YY3008 - New Earbuds? (Update)

Apart from the newly discovered YY3006, I also found another new model, YY3008 (HDX-3008) in an import listing. The information from the listing seems to imply this is most likely a over-ear headset, possibly with a touch panel (circuit board pad), see update below.

One of the parts is a speaker holder, so this definitely an over-ear model. But these are just parts for the new model, so still early days. It might be a while before this model appear on a certification sites. If this is a wireless model, it could either be the WH-CH530 or WH-CH730N, assuming Sony keeps the model names for future models. Whatever it is, I do not think it will be out this year, but I could be wrong.

So with this new model, we have 6 new unreleased models for the future.

YY2985 - WF-1000XM6

YY2990 - Gaming headset? 

YY2998 - Bluetooth over-ears model

YY3004 - IER-EX15C

YY3006 - Over-ear model

YY3008 - Over-ear model

Only YY3004 has a certification (Korean) so far, and if we use an average of 3-4 months from certification to release, we could see this model announced sometime in September, maybe early October. See more information about the model here. Update, YY3004 looks to have been announced, see the post here.

I know people are looking forward to the new WF-1000XM6, but I do not have any new information. Either Sony has delayed the model and is improving it, or it was never meant to be released this summer. Any small updates will go into the original WF-1000XM6 post, or if is a certification, it will go up as a separate post.

Update - November 19

We have our first update, still an import filing but it does reveal a charging box, which would be the charging case for earbuds. So the information in this import filing seems to contradict the information from earlier in the year. If this is a set of earbuds, it could be a new model or because I do not believe it would replace the WF-C710N which only just came out in March of this year.
