Sony WF-1000XM6 specs leak, here's what's improved compared to the previous generation
Sony is finally unveiling the WF-1000XM6 earbuds on February 12, and ahead of that, a leak purports to bring us their most important specs.
The buds will allegedly use a new QN3e processor which is billed to be three times faster than the one in the WF-1000XM5. There will also be eight adaptive mics (four per earbud), up from six (three per earbud) in the previous generation.
There are even new drivers, as well as support for LDAC, DSEE Extreme, a 10-band EQ, Auracast, Multipoint, Fast Pair, and Swift Pair. The buds will get eight-hour battery life, and the case holds two additional charges (16 hours). The buds will be IPX4 rated for splash resistance.
The buds have improved ergonomics, better airflow management, and a fitting test integrated into the app. They will also support 360 Reality Audio with head tracking, and a smarter ambient mode with three automatic profiles. In the box you'll get four sizes of earbud tips.
