The device appeared with the model number SRH-S1, associated with Sony’s head-mounted display. Unfortunately, the SIG certification listing didn’t reveal any specifications for the upcoming device.

Sony XR HMD Headset: Everything We Know
Sony’s upcoming system is designed for creators with tools for 3D content production. The company plans to form partnerships with developers of various 3D software, spanning industries like entertainment and industrial design.
Initially, Sony exclusively collaborated with Siemens, a renowned leader in industrial technology, to introduce a solution for design and collaborative product engineering. This new offering leverages Siemens’ Xcelerator open digital business platform.
Under the hood, it will draw power from the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 Platform, which is the latest XR processor by Qualcomm.
However, it’s important to know that Sony has not revealed any details about the availability or price of this device. But we expect it to be super expensive, and the chances of the headset launching in India seem quite slim. We expect to get more details soon, so, stay tuned.
