Sony is preparing to update it’s popular wireless audio lineup with a redesigned set of earbuds and expanded color options for its flagship headphones. Leaked details suggest the next-generation WF-1000XM6 earbuds will feature a substantial redesign and carry a price tag of $329.99, while the WH-1000XM6 headphones, released in May 2023, are slated to receive new colorways including a Sandpink option [[3]]. These moves signal Sony’s continued investment in the competitive premium audio market as it seeks to maintain its position among leading headphone manufacturers.
Sony’s next-generation WF-1000XM6 earbuds are slated to arrive with a redesigned look and a price tag of $329.99 in the United States and €299.99 in Europe, according to details recently shared by a retailer ahead of their official launch. The forthcoming earbuds represent a significant shift in design from previous WF-1000X models.
The leak comes as Sony continues to support its recently released WH-1000XM6 headphones (currently available on Amazon for $398), which debuted in May 2023. At the time of the WH-1000XM6 launch, the company offered the headphones in a range of colors mirroring those available for the WH-1000XM5.
New information suggests Sony is planning to expand the color options for the WH-1000XM6 headphones. According to Roland Quandt, Sony is preparing to reintroduce a color option originally available for the WH-1000XM5.
Quandt reports that the WH-1000XM6 will also be available in a new Sandpink colorway. While images of the new color haven’t been released, it’s expected to be similar to the Smoky Pink variant of the previous generation, as shown above. No specific release date for the new colorway has been announced, but the timing of the leak suggests it could coincide with the global launch of the WF-1000XM6 earbuds, anticipated later this month. The continued development of both headphone and earbud lines demonstrates Sony’s commitment to maintaining a leading position in the premium audio market.
Details about the WF-1000XM6 first surfaced in a recent leak revealing a substantial redesign.
