According to a leak from Dealabs, Sony is preparing to introduce a new color for the WH-1000XM6. The report claims that this fifth color will be called “Sandstone,” which will have a “sandy beige hue.” It’s said that this Standstone option will launch on May 19, 2026, and will cost the same as the other versions.
If Sony does launch a new Stonestone colorway, it’ll be interesting to see if the company will eventually bring the color to the WF-1000XM6 or XM5 earbuds. The WF-1000XM5 does come in a Smoky Pink shade that’s similar to the WH-1000XM6’s Sand Pink tone.
In addition to this news, the leak also revealed that the tech giant could launch headphones that are even more premium than the WH-1000XM6. This headset is reportedly called “Sony The ColleXion.” The report claims that these headphones will only be available in black and will cost €629 (~$728). For comparison, the WH-1000XM6 costs €449 in Europe. It’s unclear how much the headset will cost in the US.
