Sony is preparing to renew its range of True Wireless headphones with the WF-1000XM6, particularly expected. A recently spotted import document confirms the imminent arrival of these headphones, which could be marketed in the fall of 2025.
After the excellent WH-1000XM6 helmet, Sony should soon renew its high-end headphones with the imminent arrival of WF-1000XM6.
Until recently, information on this new model was mainly based on leaks in the Sony Sound Connect application, where their internal code YY2985 had briefly seen before being removed by the brand. This deletion had sowed doubt on the progress of the project. Now, an official import document confirms the existence of these new headphones.

According to this document, “headphones without framework” in black finish, bearing the code name YY2985, were imported to Vietnam for test phases, a step prior to official certification and large -scale marketing.
This import deposit, unveiled by The Walkman Blog, indicates that Sony is finalizing preparations to launch the WF-1000XM6 on the market. The calendar observed for the WH-1000XM6 helmet, who arrived at importers in March before an outing in May, suggests that the headphones could be marketed in September or October 2025. Recall that the WF-1000XM5 were released three years ago.

What about competition?
Sony’s WF-1000X range has established itself as a reference in terms of active noise reduction, sound quality and comfort. The WF-1000XM5 had already marked a notable progression on these points. Suffice to say that we expect with a certain impatience these WF-1000XM6 which should cross a new CAP, in particular in the face of increasingly sharp competition, embodied by the Bose Quietcomfort Ultra Earbuds, the Apple AirPods Pro 2 and the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 without forgetting the amazing AKG N5 Hybrid.
Technical information remains for the moment. The import document reveals neither design, sound performance, expected features. However, it mentions a connection “2.4 GHz Band”, which could suggest Wi-Fi compatibility in addition to the usual Bluetooth, like the recent Xiaomi Buds 5 Pro Wi-Fi. If this hypothesis is confirmed, this would potentially open new uses, such as high resolution audio streaming without compression or better multipoint management.
Sony could also take advantage of this renewal to integrate the latest Bluetooth standards (Audio, Auracast) as for the WH-1000XM6 helmet, enrich software functionalities via its companion application, and offer innovations in terms of sound personalization or audio spatialization, like the 360 Reality Audio Upmix introduced on the brand’s latest helmet.
Finally, the presence of a black model also suggests, as usual, other colors during the official launch. In this area, since it is a high -end model, there is little chance that the colors are as varied as with the series of Linkbuds Fit and Open.
