Sony Could Be Improving Sound and Features on Its Next Earbuds

A reliable leaker posted the full specs for Sony’s WF-1000XM6 flagship active noise-canceling earbuds.

Sony’s WF-1000XM6 earbuds are arriving imminently, according to image leaks from online retailers. And we now have a better idea of the tech that’ll be packed into these active noise-cancellation earbuds, thanks to spec leaks from Billbil-kun, who’s known for accurate tech scoops.

A representative for Sony did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The WF-1000XM6 earbuds will feature several notable upgrades over their predecessor, the WF-1000XM5 earbuds, which were released in 2023. While the previous model integrated six microphones into its design, the upcoming Sony earbuds add two more, bringing the total to eight — which could improve active noise cancellation.

Sony will enhance the entire active noise-cancelling system by adding a QN3e processor, which, according to the report, will be three times faster than its predecessor. Other internal design overhauls include a new speaker, a digital-to-analog converter and an amplifier.

Enabling active noise cancellation on earbuds consumes more battery power, but Sony’s flagship ANC earbuds have consistently delivered strong battery life. With ANC turned on, the WF-1000XM6 earbuds match the eight-hour battery life of the WF-1000XM5 earbuds, according to the report. Using the charging case, battery life doubles to 16 hours per charge.

Aside from the internal specs, Sony has reportedly updated the external design of the WF-1000XM6 earbuds. Photos that were apparently accidentally leaked by Thai retailer Power Buy indicate that the earbuds will come in matte black or white colors, with a new pill-shaped design with larger eartips.

It’s unclear whether this is simply a more ergonomic design or if it’ll translate to stronger bass sound quality, though that will likely become clearer when Sony officially announces these earbuds.
