Sony Group Corporation and Sony Corporation today announced that Kenji Tanaka, currently Senior Vice President of Sony Corporation, has been appointed President and CEO of Sony Corporation, effective April 1, 2026. Kimio Maki, currently serving as President and CEO of Sony Corporation, will become Director and Chairman of Sony Corporation, effective the same day.
The FCC internal photos of the WF-1000XM6 have become available. Time to check out if they reveal anything interesting.
Sony has released an firmware update for the new WF-1000XM6. I suspect only reviewers have their hands on them, but users should be receiving them next week in most regions.
The highly anticipated the WF-1000XM6 will be announced tomorrow. Fortunately we will not need to wait for all the details thanks to MrWalkman who provided the new leak and information.
As previously mentioned by Roland Quandt on BlueSky, the WH-1000XM6 will be receiving a new colour Sandy Pink. The reveal is slated for February 12th, at 8am PT, just in time for Valentine's Day. If you cannot wait that long, here is the new colour.
Sony has dropped the WF-1000XM6 teaser on Sony.co.uk. The Sony Europe channel also has put up a video, see below. The date of the reveal is February 12 4pm GMT, confirming the leak from Dealabs and billbil_kun. The headset design has leaked, so check it out here.
We have a retail leak of the upcoming Sony WF-1000XM6. Thanks to Mr_Snail10 from reddit for posting the link, excellent find. Say hello to the new WF-1000XM6.
This news comes to us thanks to Japanese tech blog S-Max, who have spotted the upcoming Xperia models in the IMEI database from GSM Association. While we already have the full set of PM codes, we lacked the XQ codes until today.
The LinkBuds Clip were announced earlier this week, and the lack of LC3 made me wonder if Sony has switched up the Bluetooth chipset from the V2 (MT2833), to something else. The FCC internal photos became available on Friday, so time to dive in to see what they reveal.
Sony announced the LinkBuds Clip today. Much of the information and design was already revealed thanks to the leaks, but now we have all the details from Sony. If you want to read the press release, check Sony Europe Press.
Some news dropped today, and from what I am reading online, user opinion is mixed. Below is the press release from Sony.
Sony's newest earbuds, the LinkBuds Clip (WF-LC900) have been leaked by retailer blibli. The photos are not the highest quality, but they do reveal the design, along with the specs which were leaked previously by Dealabs.
Update 1: Some new photos from trusted anonymous sources.
Retailer leak.
I have compiled all the specs into the list below, with some new details not in the previous leak. Edit, the case on the inside is not the same, maybe only the exterior shell pieces.
Specifications:

The battery life of 9 hours is actually longer than the 8 hours on the LinkBuds Open and Fit. There is no mention of LC3 support, but I would imagine the Clip will support it (?). We have no charging case weight, so depending on the internal battery capacity, it could be around 35-40g. Availability should be close to the announcement date, but this will be region specific.
So anyone excited for these? Personally I am more curious to see the teardown and components, but these will find fans amongst Sony's userbase.
This popped up in my YouTube notifications, a new video from Sony Europe of a product announcement for January 21st. Is this the new WF-1000XM6? Or are we looking at something completely different?
A new model code has appeared in the Apple's MFi database, YY3015. The entry is a bit puzzling. Normally when a new Sony headset appears in the MFi database, it has 6 entries for the 6 different regions.
I remember when CES was something to look forward to. New tech and sometimes even concepts. But now, meh. Guess the Consumer part of Consumer Electronics Show died. I do not even remember the last time Sony showed anything of interest at the show, maybe 2021? or 2020?
