feeling : It ’s the time of the year where we reminisce on the months that flew past and see onward to what ’s to come , and as one of the world ’s biggest mark , Sony is a company to keep an eye on given its influence within the technical school earth .

Sony played a trick on us in 2024 as products we thought were coming did n’t seem , but we not going to allow that stop us this year . While everything below is speculation , we experience confident given what we ’ve seen in 2024 that these Cartesian product will ( finally ) seem in 2025 .

Here is what I ’m expect from Sony in 2025 .

A new QD OLED TV

Sony revamped its television designation convention ( an delinquent change , in my opinion ) . While for 2024 I correctly predicted a direction onMini lead TVswith the launching of theBravia 9 , for 2025 I ’m expecting a new QD OLED . I also reckon thisQD OLEDwill be called the Bravia 10 , considering previous models were labelled theA95KandA95L(a Bravia 9.5 would be unmatched ) .

My guess is that it will feature Samsung ’s fourth - gen QD OLED jury ( which should be push 2000 + nits in term of cleverness ) .

On my wishlist for Sony ’s next QD OLED is improvedblack levelsand a more convenient feet design . Sony seems loath to use a pedestal sales booth even though it ’s the dim-witted method of keep a TV upright .

New WH-1000XM6 headphones

I was sure that theWH-1000XM6were cash in one’s chips to arrive in 2024 since the over - ears always launch on a two - year cycle . Obviously that was wrong .

What we have heard is that Sony will set in motion the WH-1000XM6 and WF-1000XM6 at the same time , which makes mother wit give Sony sees the earphone as a family with share feature and design aesthetic . The interrogative sentence is what could one expect from these headphones ? As always , Sony ’s recent phone may provide cue .

I require the WF-1000XM6 true wireless to be ( slightly ) smaller and light . A complaint about theWF-1000XM5(and theWF-1000XM4 ) was that they do n’t always feel secure . Themost recent LinkBudshave Air Fitting supporter , could the next true wireless feature that too ?

Similarly , will the WH-1000XM6 over - ears repay to a collapsible intention ? I do n’t reckon so , butBose did changethe design of its phone and that did n’t seem to affect the racket - cancelling one bit . In fact stochasticity - cancelling for both headphones needsimproving if Sony want to continue in range with Bose . I also guess that Sony may up the battery animation to 40 hours or more , though Sony is not a company to be catch up in spec war .

I also wonder whether Sony has await at theSonos Aceheadphones and thought about implementing its own version of the TrueCinema boast with its soundbars . With its360 Reality Audiosupport , it ’s much there , but the Wi - Fi support is drop .

Lastly , I question whether Sony might introduce clamant - electric switch audio for its soundbars , headphones and wireless speakers . It was a surprise feature of the young LinkBuds headphones and speaker after all .

New wireless speakers

thing have been uncharacteristically quiet on the undercoat regarding Sony ’s more traditional wireless speaker . The company did come out with theUlt Wear series , but to cite Meghan Trainor , that was all about the bass . Its line - up of wireless speakers has n’t been refreshed in a twain year and my bet is on new verbaliser , and like with its telecasting , soundbars and projectors ; a simpler naming convening too .

New Walkmans

I have n’t quite read Sony ’s policy with its Walkman portable players . Thelast one I testedwas solid but felt as it it was trying too much to be like a smartphone . It ’s been years since the lineage - up was refreshed , and I ’d argue that the Walkman brand is decrease behind the the like ofAstell&KernandFiiO.

Plus , with the rise in popularity of pumped-up headphones , there ’s still a market for a right portable audio participant .
