With the first pair of Sonos headphones finally here (and sadly not quite the Ace we hoped for), headphones fans are now looking forward to the launch of Sony’s next flagships with the same eagerness that a nipper awaits the arrival of Santa Claus. And with good reason.
The Sony WH-1000XM6 are expected to succeed the current WH-1000XM5 in a few months if they are to follow the model’s bi-annual release pattern, and if the past seven or so years of form is anything to go by, they should build on the current pair’s class-leading position with sound quality improvements and perhaps the odd new feature. The cogs in that particular rumour mill haven’t started churning yet – unlike that of the AirPod Max 2‘s – but we have huddled together to curate a wishlist for the anticipated XM6, from aptX Bluetooth codec support to longer battery life.
