Sony WH-1000XM6 Gets a New Sandstone Color, Now Available Globally
Sony has quietly expanded its popular WH-1000XM6 wireless noise-canceling headphone lineup with a fresh new color option: Sandstone. The new finish is now available globally, giving buyers another choice beyond the existing Black, Midnight Blue, Platinum Silver, and Sand Pink versions.
The Sandstone model appears to be a style-focused update rather than a major hardware refresh. It keeps the same premium features that have helped the WH-1000XM6 stand out in the high-end wireless headphones market, including Sony’s QN3 processor, 30 mm drivers, and up to 30 hours of battery life on a single charge.
Visually, Sandstone brings a warmer and more yellow-toned look compared to the current Platinum Silver option. In fact, it may remind longtime Sony headphone fans of the lighter silver shades used on earlier WH-1000X models, while still feeling distinct from the existing WH-1000XM6 color range.
Sony introduced the Sand Pink version earlier this year, and the arrival of Sandstone suggests the company is continuing to refresh the WH-1000XM6 lineup with more lifestyle-focused color choices. For buyers who already like the performance of Sony’s flagship over-ear headphones but want something different from the usual black or silver finish, Sandstone could be the most eye-catching option yet.
In terms of pricing, the Sony WH-1000XM6 Sandstone launches at $399, matching the rest of the WH-1000XM6 lineup. It has also appeared through major retailers at around $398, with some offers including a $30 gift card depending on availability and region.
While the new Sandstone edition does not introduce upgraded internals, the WH-1000XM6 remains one of Sony’s key premium headphone models. With strong active noise cancellation, long battery life, refined audio processing, and a growing selection of colors, the lineup continues to target travelers, commuters, remote workers, and music lovers looking for high-end wireless audio.
The new Sandstone color is now part of Sony’s global WH-1000XM6 range, making it a stylish alternative for anyone planning to buy Sony’s latest flagship noise-canceling headphones.
