Sony YY3013 – Another set of Earbuds?
Sony has another wireless headset in the pipeline, YY3013. Unfortunately details are limited, so here is everything we know so far. Thanks to MrWalkman for providing additional details.
Sony is actively testing the headset right now, but it is still in early stages. The HS code (85183020) does seem to indicate we are looking at wireless earbuds, joining other set of earbuds, YY3008.
The YY3008 import filing appeared in late December, but it appeared with many other models (ex, YY3001, YY3007, YY3010), so I was not sure if this was a real model or some error in the import filings.
The above filings were exported by Goertek, which is a company providing parts and manufacturing for Sony.
Thanks to MrWalkman, we know that this new headset has been testing since early January 2026.
The HDX-3013 code appeared in a filing for the battery holder component, in late December. Once I saw this listing, it was clear that YY3013 was real and coming some time in the near future. The part in question could be the piece that holds the battery under the PCB.
Another import site has some more import filings with details for moulds for various parts like “holder key”, “light guide”, and “holder sensor”. These might be parts for the case.
This headset will be using a Mediatek chipset for its wireless chip, but the specific SoC is not know right now, but I am confident we will get these details in the near future.
If anyone has any additional details, please contact me.
Update 3 – May 17
We still have no FCC filing, but the headset did pass through certification in China.
We have some new imports as well, which could indicate this might be an over-ear model, as there is a battery holder lower. Whatever this model is, it is slated to be revealed this year.
Update 2 – April 22
The headset has appeared on Apple’s MFi certification website. I will wait for a FCC listing before I make a certification post, as that should, hopefully, provide more information. As I have mentioned in previous posts, the MFi certifications are not a reliable indicator of announcement/release dates. So who knows when this could even debut.
Update 1 – March 27
New import filings, but not much is revealed (as is the case), but we are definitely looking at parts for making the headset. The headset is slowly progressing with testing at Sony, second or so month or testing as far as I know. From the progress, we could be looking at an Autumn 2026 announcement.
