A major Peruvian retailer appears to have inadvertently confirmed the arrival of a new color variant for Sony’s flagship WH-1000XM6 wireless headphones. While Sony itself has yet to make an official announcement following earlier leaks this month, retail listing images suggest the launch is drawing closer.
A Deep Green Refresh
The product photography posted by Falabella shows a finish that is considerably richer and deeper than the green tone used on Sony’s LinkBuds Clip. The new shade leans toward an understated, mature palette, positioning it closer in spirit to the Forest Grey option available on the company’s Ult Wear series. The images appear authentic and show no signs of digital manipulation.
Pricing and Global Launch Expectations
Falabella has already listed this unreleased green version at PEN 1,499, which is approximately $441. Notably, the retailer has simultaneously applied a PEN 200 discount—roughly $50—to all WH-1000XM6 listings on its site. This consistent promotional pricing suggests that the official global launch price for the new color will likely settle at $459, matching the existing five-color lineup. A precise release date has not yet been indicated.
Market Context
- Sony currently offers the WH-1000XM6 in five standard colors, all priced at $459 in the United States.
- The latest leaks follow earlier reports from this month that hinted at a minor product update, though core specifications are expected to remain unchanged.
- If confirmed, the expanded palette would give Sony a deliberately reserved alternative to the bolder options available from competing premium headphone brands.
