It’s been three long years since Sony launched its flagship WH-1000XM5 headphones, our pick for the best wireless headphones for most people, so we’re due a follow-up — and a regulatory filing indicates that the XM6 cans might nearly be ready to launch.

Sony's line of noise-cancelling over-ear headphones are known to offer fantastic sound quality and customizable controls. Plus, during the winter, over-ear style headphones do double duty as ear muffs.

Sony’s WH-1000XM4 is once again on sale and this time it has bragged the lowest price since its launch in India. Interested users can grab the premium sound headphones at the exciting price of Rs 16,488 with an over Rs 3000 discount.

If you prefer earbuds over headphones, the Sony WF-C700N are right up your alley. Thanks to today's sale at Best Buy, the pair can be yours for only $79.99, instead of the usual price of $119.99. That means you'll be scoring a 33% discount. Plus, you get to choose between a Black or Sage colorway.

But the thing that makes these headphones worthwhile is the superior active noise cancellation that blocks out all external noise so you can immerse yourself in your music, games, podcasts, or streaming media and ignore the world around you. This also makes the Sony WH-1000XM5 perfect for traveling or concentrating in noisy environments.

The filing is with the US FCC, as spotted by The Walkman Blog, and while it doesn't go into extensive detail there are some interesting bits of information about Sony's 2025 flagship over-ears. The WH-1000XM6 is described in the filing as a Wireless Noise Canceling Stereo Headset and it comes with the same battery voltage as the current model – although that doesn't necessarily mean the same amount of play time,
