The company launched the current WH-1000XM5 almost three years ago, crowning itself as one of the best audio products you can buy even today. The FCC has now certified the Sony WH-1000XM6, indicating an imminent launch.<br \/>\nThere\u2019s a new listing in the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) database for a Sony product. The filing doesn\u2019t include its name, but the product\u2019s model number\u2014YY2984\u2014denotes its nature as it is remarkably similar to the YY2954 of the WH-1000XM5 headsets. So, everything points to the certification of its direct successor.<br \/>\nThe FCC certifies the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones; potentially detachable earpads<br \/>\nThe Walkman Blog found that the WH-1000XM6\u2019s FCC listing has a diagram that shows some of the possible design changes it could get. The most notable could be the potential inclusion of detachable earpads. This would make them last longer and give you less stress if the earpads break or wear out.<br \/>\nThe potential change stems from moving the so-called \u201cuser-visible nameplate,\u201d which includes the product\u2019s model and serial numbers. The FCC requires this plate to be visible to users, and you have to lift up the WH-1000XM6\u2019s earcup to find it. So, it\u2019s unlikely that the component is held in place by screws. Regardless, it\u2019s unknown what method of earpad attachment Sony might use. On the current WH-1000XM5, the plate is underneath the inner edge of the non-removable earpads.<br \/>\nThe diagram also reflects a slightly different hinge design than the current ones. However, it\u2019s not sure Sony will bring back the foldable design of previous generations. If you\u2019re not aware, unlike the XM4, the XM5 does not have a foldable design. Fans have widely criticized this change for making it more difficult to carry around in travel bags. Going back to the foldable form factor would be a very welcome change.<br \/>\nNo details on audio improvements yet<br \/>\nSadly, the FCC doesn\u2019t offer many details about the tech specs of the Sony WH-1000XM6. That means there\u2019s still no information about potential improvements in audio quality and features. The filing only confirms that it will support Bluetooth 5.3. Lastly, it\u2019s interesting that the headphones are labeled as \u201cprototype\u201d in the filing. This opens the door for some changes for the final product.<br \/>\nThe post Sony WH-1000XM6 flagship headphones get FCC certification appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Sony-WH-1000XM5-Headphones-jpg.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It looks like Sony is ready to launch a new generation of its XM over-ear headsets.
