Sony WF-1000XM6 Leak: Encompass Lists Colors & Date

• Key Takeaways:
• Encompass Parts listed replacement items for Sony WF-1000XM6 under model YY2985, indicating black and silver color options.
• The parts listing shows a Feb. 27, 2026 ship date that may be a placeholder, but could hint at availability after CES 2026.
• The WF-1000XM6 has surfaced in regulatory filings, Sony's Sound Connect app and earlier rumors tied to WH-1000XM6 announcements.

What the Encompass listing reveals

A parts distributor, Encompass Parts, has added entries that reference Sony’s long-rumored WF-1000XM6 earbuds. The listings identify the internal model number YY2985 and show replacement parts in two finishes: black and silver.

Encompass entries are typically used by repair shops and retailers to stock replacement components, so their appearance is notable even if they don’t confirm a full product launch.

Possible ship date — placeholder or hint?

The Encompass pages list a shipping date of February 27, 2026 for the parts. Industry watchers caution this could simply be a placeholder date used by the distributor.

If the date is meaningful, however, it would place parts availability shortly after CES 2026 concludes on January 9, creating a plausible window for product announcements or rollouts.

How this fits past leaks and regulatory filings

The WF-1000XM6 first emerged in rumors in mid-2024 and has since turned up in Sony’s Sound Connect app references and public regulatory databases, including the FCC. Those sightings consistently used the YY2985 identifier.

Regulatory listings do not always detail features, but other leaks have suggested upgrades such as DSEE Ultimate support and further tuning of Sony’s ANC and codec implementations.

Why color options matter

Sony offering black and silver continues a pattern seen in its premium audio lineup, aligning the WF-1000XM series with the aesthetic choices available for over-ear models like the WH-1000XM6.

When to expect clearer signals

Expect more definitive leaks or an official announcement around CES 2026 if Sony times a reveal to the show, or in the weeks following as retailers and parts suppliers update catalogs.

For now, the Encompass listing is a strong indication that Sony is preparing service and supply channels for the WF-1000XM6, but it stops short of confirming pricing, exact launch timing, or full feature lists.
