Sony YY2975 passes thru the FCC confirming Earbud model
The YY2975 headset has appeared on the FCC, and we have a confirmation that this is a set of earbuds and not a over the ear headset. This seems to corroborate that this is the new LinkBuds S mark 2. We also know this headset will come with active noise cancellation, just like the LinkBuds S.
The FCC files do not reveal too much, but we do know the battery will be 3.85V and the antenna in the earbuds will be a monopole antenna like in other Sony earbuds. The short term confidentiality end date is December 14th 2024. which is just under 6 months from now. But I suspect we could see these earlier, perhaps as early as September, but more likely October to November timeline.
So I suspect we will not see a new WH-1000XM6 this year, with Sony releasing both the earbuds and headphones next year as one generation.
Update: August 18 2024
The new LinkBuds S have passed through TDRA a few days back. I do not believe we will see the new model anytime soon. I suspect an announcement closer to the end of the year.
Update: 7-8-2024
The headset has appeared in import fillings. Unfortunately no colour codes are shown or model numbers to confirm the name.
Update: 30-6-2024
The new LinkBuds S passed through IMDA recently.
Update: 21-6-2024
The headset has passed through Indonesian certification. It does reveal that they are made in Vietnam. I have checked E-ComM, along with some other cert sites, and nothing yet.
If anyone has anymore information on the new LinkBuds S2 (YY2975), please contact me here on the blog, or via Twitter.
