Watch the Sony WH-1000XM6 announcement live

It’s a great week for Sony fans – the company announced the Xperia 1 VII flagship on Tuesday and today it will unveil its flagship over-ear headphones, the Sony WH-1000XM6.

You can watch the announcement livestream below, it starts at 16:00 UTC.

If you’ve been following along with the WH-1000 series, in the XM5 generation Sony removed the folding mechanism from the headphones, leaving only the swivel for earcups (check out our review for more details). This made them harder to pack than the XM4. Teaser images for the new models show that Sony has devised a new folding mechanism, which will make the XM6 easier to pack in your luggage as you head for the summer holidays.

We’ve heard talk that the new model will be water-resistant too, but Sony has not officially confirmed that – check back with us for a detailed report on the Sony WH-1000XM6.
