Sony WH-1000XM6 leak reveals price, release date, and everything else

The WH-1000XM5 is still one of the best sets of headphones you can buy today. However, it’s been three years since the device launched. Sony has yet to reveal any details about a follow-up, but a couple of substantial leaks may have given us all we need to know.

First spotted by Reddit user peruho, it appears Amazon Spain accidentally published a listing for the WH-1000XM6. Although the listing is no longer up, the Redditor shared a variety of details about the headset. Additionally, the folks over at Dealabs managed to get a screenshot of the taken-down page that does not include an image of the headphones.

According to the listing, here’s what to expect:

Something notable about these specs is the mention of the QN3 processor. The WH-1000XM5 uses a QN1 processor, so it looks like Sony is skipping the QN2 chip. According to the report from Dealabs, the QN3 chip is seven times faster than the QN1. This chip helps with real-time noise cancelation, adapting to ambient noise, and air pressure.

The report also mentions that the headphones will launch in the US sometime between May 14 and May 16, so we won’t have to wait too much longer. Once it is available for purchase, you’ll reportedly be able to pick one up for $449.99.
