Details on Sony’s next-gen flagship headphones have leaked online through a product listing on Amazon.
The WH-1000XM6 features a QN3 processor that’s seven times faster than the chip in its predecessor.
A report claims it will cost $449.99 in the US and is expected to be released between May 14 and May 16.

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.
