FCC filing hints at detachable earpads and minor design changes.

Introduction

Sony's WH-1000XM5 headphones set a benchmark for premium noise-canceling headphones. Now, three years later, hints about their successor, the WH-1000XM6, have emerged from an FCC filing, revealing potential upgrades and design tweaks.

Detachable Earpads: A Key Feature

The FCC diagrams show a possible shift toward removable earpads for the XM6 headphones, making maintenance easier. Unlike the XM5, where details were hidden under fixed pads, the XM6 appears to provide access to regulatory information beneath a removable right earcup, likely secured without screws.

Design and Technical Details

  • New Hinge Design: A slightly modified hinge could improve durability or portability, although it may not return to the foldable structure of the XM4.

  • Bluetooth 5.3: Enhanced connectivity and efficiency.

  • Model Similarity: The model number, YY2984, aligns closely with the XM5 (YY2954), indicating it is the likely successor.

Launch Timeline

The filing suggests the product is still in prototype testing but may see a reveal before July 2025, with speculation pointing to a spring 2025 release—three years after the XM5’s May 2022 launch.

Conclusion

Sony’s WH-1000XM6 promises practical enhancements like detachable earpads alongside potential improvements in sound and connectivity. With more details expected soon, this release could redefine the premium headphone market again.
