Sony’s WF-1000XM6: more launch colours and price
- Key Takeaways:
- Leak says Sony will launch the WF-1000XM6 next month with more launch colour options than the WF-1000XM5.
- Price tipped at $329.99 in the US and €299.99 in the Eurozone.
- If accurate, this would be the first WF-1000X-series model to ship with expanded launch colours.
What the leak says
A new leak suggests Sony’s next-generation true wireless earbuds, the WF-1000XM6, will arrive next month with more launch colour choices than its predecessor, the WF-1000XM5.
The same leak pins the US price at $329.99 and the Eurozone price at €299.99. Those figures position the XM6 in the premium earbuds segment Sony has targeted with recent WF-1000X releases.
Why the colour change matters
Expanding launch colours would be a first for the WF-1000X family, which historically offered a limited palette at debut. More colour options at launch can broaden appeal and give buyers greater choice without waiting for later special editions.
For Sony, offering extra colours on day one may also help distinguish the XM6 from rivals and appeal to shoppers who view earbuds as a personal style accessory as well as an audio device.
Pricing and positioning
The leaked price — $329.99 in the US and €299.99 in the Eurozone — keeps the XM6 in Sony’s premium bracket. If those prices hold, the XM6 would compete directly with flagship true-wireless models from other major audio brands.
At this stage the leak only provides a headline price and timing; details on features, battery life, noise-cancelling performance, or exact colour names were not included. Buyers should expect more confirmed information from Sony around the official launch next month.
What to watch for next
Watch for official confirmation from Sony about launch date, detailed specs, and the exact colour lineup. Retail listings or additional leaks could reveal specific colour names, regional availability, and promotional pricing ahead of the launch.
Until Sony confirms, treat the colour and price information as provisional but notable: the combination of a possible wider colour range and premium pricing highlights Sony’s push to keep the WF-1000X series competitive and visually relevant.
