Sony's anticipated WF-1000XM6 wireless earbuds have surfaced through premature leaks, hinting at significant design and feature upgrades.

This upgrade could lead to clearer calls and improved active noise cancellation performance.

Initial pricing indications from Thailand place the earbuds at 11,990 Thai Baht, with U.S. pricing estimated around $320.
