Sony is gearing up to release its next-generation WH-1000XM6 headphones potentially as early as summer 2025. Recent FCC filings have fueled speculation, revealing design improvements like detachable earpads and a refined hinge for more compact folding.

The detachable earpads might utilize magnets or clips for attachment, promising easier repairs and pad material swaps. The design tweaks address feedback from previous models, particularly the lack of compactness in the XM5 compared to the XM4.

Bluetooth 5.3 and LE Audio support are maintained, with minor antenna modifications likely improving wireless capabilities. With confidentiality on filings lifting by July 22, Sony could unveil the new XM6 ahead of its expected summer launch.
