Sony is getting ready for a busy week, and it’s not just about new earbuds. After confirming the upcoming launch of the WF-1000XM6, the company is now teasing something else that many fans of its premium audio lineup will instantly recognize: a new look for the WH-1000XM6 over-ear headphones.
Sony has already announced that the WF-1000XM6 earbuds will officially debut on February 12 at 16:00 UTC. That reveal alone would be enough to get attention, given how popular the WF series has been for noise cancelling and everyday listening. But Sony’s latest social media teaser suggests there’s another announcement coming alongside it.
The teaser image doesn’t spell everything out, but the message is clear. It shows what appears to be a pair of over-ear headphones concealed beneath a pink covering, strongly hinting at a fresh color option for the WH-1000XM6.
For context, the WH-1000XM6 originally launched in May 2025 and has been sold in three main colors: Black, Midnight Blue, and Platinum Silver. Recent chatter has pointed toward a new “Sandpink” finish, and Sony’s teaser lines up neatly with that rumor. While Sony hasn’t confirmed the official name, the pink-themed imagery makes it hard to interpret any other way.
As of now, Sony hasn’t shared full details, pricing, or availability. However, based on how the company has handled “Smoky Pink” color updates for older models in the past, this upcoming version is widely expected to be a style refresh rather than a new hardware revision. In other words, buyers should likely expect the same WH-1000XM6 experience—just in a new, more fashion-forward color.
With the WF-1000XM6 launch locked in for February 12 and the WH-1000XM6 pink teaser pointing to an imminent reveal, Sony fans may have two reasons to tune in this week: one major product debut and one eye-catching new look for its flagship noise-cancelling headphones.
