When we first tested the Sony WH-1000XM5 , it was a rather disappointing listening experience. However, after a few updates and months of using it as our daily headphone set – to this day it is our favorite headphone. Coming soon, the WH-1000XM6 will be launched and the leaked information is very interesting.
Once again, this headphone set will be made in Malaysia. It is also said that it may offer a larger battery capacity as each new model is launched with a larger battery. Through the sketches in the leaked document, the WH-1000XM6 is said to use the same 30mm audio driver as before. In addition, it may also have ear cups that are easily removable for replacement.
This new headphone set may return the foldable design like the WH-1000XM4 or ULT Wear because the sketches show a kind of hinge existing on the XM6. Bluetooth 5.3 and Bluetooth LE will be supported, the chip is from MediaTek, and the blue color introduced on the WH-1000XM5 will be continued on these new headphones.
The Sony WH-1000XM6 is expected to be launched in May, just like the WH-1000XM5 three years ago. Let's wait and see what the uniqueness of these new headphones will be.
