Sony<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\nLooking to take forward the solid legacy of the 1000XM5s, Sony needs to innovate to reclaim the market share that\u2019s being steadily eaten up by the likes of Technics AZ-100, Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen), Beats Powerbeats Pro 2, AirPods Pro 3, Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, and Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4. Even though Sony still has solid products, the WF-1000XM6 should bring incremental upgrades that retain the Japanese brand\u2019s supremacy in the market.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The leaked Sony earbuds were listed on Power Buy, a retail website, for a while, but were eventually taken down. However, The Walkman Blog managed to extract all the leaked images and a trail of information that got the internet buzzing. No specifications were mentioned in the listing, so we are still in the dark about the internal hardware of the upcoming flagship earbuds by Sony.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Compared to the contoured XM5, the successors have an elongated oval shape that makes them look bigger, but we\u2019re sure they\u2019re not. The listing mentioned the buds to have an IPX4 rating, which should be good to take them on a rainy day or listen to music by the poolside. Other than that, the earbuds will have ANC and transparency modes, which is predictable and nothing new in current times. From the very clear images, it is apparent that the glossy finish is gone (thank god) and the matte texture looks good with the aesthetics.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
On closer look, one can clearly see three microphones on each earbud (two on top and one on the side), indicating better call audio quality and ANC performance. The charging case has also taken the upgrade route with a more geometric shape compared to the outgoing model. It sure looks bulkier than the older one, but we\u2019ll have to see them side by side to make any conclusions. There are stock eartips on the buds, and we expect to see some good hybrid and silicone tips in the accessories package. If there\u2019s one thing we didn\u2019t love about the XM5s, it\u2019s the eartips, which are fatiguing.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The pill-shaped earbuds will come in two color options: Black and Silver, but we\u2019re sure there are a couple of more colors lurking in the space. Sony has this strategy of revealing more colors after the initial release, so it won\u2019t be surprising if they\u2019ve reserved the peppier options for later.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
