Sony Teases New Premium Headphones Ahead of Next Week Reveal

Leaks highlight a sturdier hinge plus a leather-like build, with pricing and specs unconfirmed.

Overview

  • Sony posted a short video teasing a new over-ear headset and hinted at an announcement next week.
  • Fresh high-resolution renders show black and white versions that closely track the WH-1000XM6 shape.
  • The design swaps in a revised hinge that reports link to efforts to curb the hinge breakage seen on earlier WH-1000X models.
  • Images show a USB-C port on the right ear cup and several microphones that suggest active noise canceling and clearer calls.
  • Sony has not confirmed the name, price, or hardware, though leaks point to about $649 and a MediaTek MT2855 paired with a Sony QN3 chip and DSEE Ultimate.
