Background on WH-1000XM6

The WH-1000XM6 made its first appearance in May 2025. When they were launched, Sony offered them in Black, Midnight Blue, and Platinum Silver colors. These options were similar to those found with the WH-1000XM5 throughout most of its time on the market. However, the WH-1000XM6 did not include a version akin to the Smoky Pink refresh of the WH-1000XM5, which was introduced in September 2024.

New Color Option

Sony has now aimed to correct the color disparity between the WH-1000XM5 and WH-1000XM6. Almost a year after the initial release of the WH-1000XM6, the company unveiled a new color variant that features a richer pink shade compared to the Smoky Pink of the WH-1000XM5. Although this new pink is more vibrant than the Smoky Pink, Sony has chosen to market it as Sand Pink instead of simply calling it ‘Pink,’ which aligns with the other models like the WH-CH520 or WH-CH720N.

Pricing and Availability

The Sand Pink variant of the WH-1000XM6 is set to be available for order globally starting February 12. It will retail for £399 in the UK and €369 in the Eurozone, while in the US, it has a price tag of $399.99. This new color option is functionally the same as the existing Black, Midnight Blue, and Platinum Silver models and can be purchased directly from Sony or through retailers like Amazon.
