Sony YY3008 – New Earbuds?
Apart from the newly discovered YY3006, I also found another new model, YY3008 (HDX-3008) in an import listing. The information from the listing seems to imply this is most likely a over-ear headset, possibly with a touch panel (circuit board pad), see update below.
One of the parts is a speaker holder, so this definitely an over-ear model. But these are just parts for the new model, so still early days. It might be a while before this model appear on a certification sites. If this is a wireless model, it could either be the WH-CH530 or WH-CH730N, assuming Sony keeps the model names for future models. Whatever it is, I do not think it will be out this year, but I could be wrong.
So with this new model, we have 6 new unreleased models for the future.
- YY2985 – WF-1000XM6
- YY2990 – Gaming headset?
- YY2998 – Bluetooth over-ears model
- Y3004 – IER-EX15C
- YY3006 – Over-ear model
- YY3008 – Over-ear model
Only YY3004 has a certification (Korean) so far, and if we use an average of 3-4 months from certification to release, we could see this model announced sometime in September, maybe early October. See more information about the model here. Update, YY3004 looks to have been announced, see the post below.
I know people are looking forward to the new WF-1000XM6, but I do not have any new information. Either Sony has delayed the model and is improving it, or it was never meant to be released this summer. Any small updates will go into the original WF-1000XM6 post, or if is a certification, it will go up as a separate post.
