• New Sony over-ear Bluetooth headphones appear in an official database
  • Possibly a successor to the Sony WH-CH520 or WH-C720N
  • This is a very early leak so a launch may not be imminent

There’s no doubt that Sony’s WH-1000XM6 over-ears are a truly excellent pair of headphones. But at $449 / £399 / AU$699 they’re also a pretty expensive pair of headphones. If you’re looking for an audio upgrade but would prefer something a bit more affordable, Sony appears to be preparing exactly that.

A new pair of Sony headphones have leaked, and they appear to be over-ears. And that means they’re most likely the successor to the Sony WH-CH520 or WH-C720N – although we can’t rule out a brand new model that we haven’t seen before.

The first of those had a launch price of $60 / £60 / AU$99, and the latter were $129 / £99 / AU$259. And both are getting on a bit: two years, which is a long time in the headphone market.
