- The presentation of the FCC details the battery, the Bluetooth and the construction
- Bluetooth 5.3, but there is no confirmation in the audio
- A redesigned and, hopefully, more resistant.
Sony has presented details of the Sony Wh-1000mx6 headphones and it seems that they could improve the current model, the Sony Wh-1000MX5, in two key aspects: how they are built and how they sound.
The presentation is before the FCC of the USA, as The Walkman Blog discovered it, and although it does not go into many details, there are some interesting data on the Sony 2025 flagship supraaural headphones.
Sony Wh-1000xm6: What news are there for 2025?
WH-1000XM6 is described in the presentation as a Wireless stereo headphones with noise cancellation And it comes with the same battery voltage as the current model, although that does not necessarily mean the same amount of reproduction time, because the same voltage can deliver different milliamps-hora in different variants.
This time the bluetooth is Bluetooth 5.3 with Bluetooth Le, although it does not specify whether that means Bluetooth audio or simply a standard low energy consumption connection for control from the application, etc. If it is the first, that can also mean compatibility with aircase, which seems likely, since it has been a great headphones in headphones this year.
One of the interesting details of the presentation is what looks a lot like a redesigned hinge. That is not something that would normally interested us too much, but we have received emails from readers whose XM5 headphones broke into the hinge, and much has been talked about the fragility of that section in forums and headphones subnets.
There are still no indications of an official launch, but the confidentiality of the presentation of the FCC expires in July 2025, so a launch in summer seems likely.
Despite their excellence, the Sony XM5 do not lead our list of the best headphones in their different categories, not because they are bad, but because the Sony Wh-1000xm4 was very good, it still exists and is now much cheaper. also. The XM5 arrived with a higher price and it was not better to “hurry to update.” Hopefully Sony has some surprises with the 2025 model that make it clearer as an essential purchase.
