The Sony WF-1000XM5 are true wireless noise-cancelling earbuds developed by Sony, featuring notable improvements over their predecessors including advanced ANC, clearer sound quality, and a more compact design.

Sony is developing the WF-1000XM6, the successor to the WF-1000XM5, introduced in July 2023 for approximately €209.
The WF-1000XM6 has passed FCC certification under the identifier YY2985, signaling progress toward its market release.
It features the MediaTek MT2855 Bluetooth audio chip, consistent with Sony's use in other advanced audio devices like the LinkBuds.

Sony has updated the WH-1000XM6 headphones and WF-1000XM5 earbuds with new features enhancing the LE Audio experience and Gemini Live support.
Gemini Live and Audio Sharing with Fast Pair are now supported on both devices, improving audio sharing capabilities.
The WH-1000XM6 and WF-1000XM5 now include functionality like Head Tracking and digital assistant usage during LE Audio connections.

Sony is reportedly developing the WF-1000XM6 true wireless earbuds, successors to the WF-1000XM5, with a potential release in late 2025.
Import filings reveal the earbuds are being sent to Vietnam for testing, indicating the project is in advanced stages.
Speculation suggests the integration of the Mediatek MT2855 chip for enhanced Bluetooth capabilities and improved connectivity.
