Sony leak hints that it isn't done expanding the XM6 color palette
Recent import filings indicate that Sony might soon launch a new color for its WH-1000XM6 headphones, with the model linked to the color code 'G'. While it is widely assumed this represents a shade of green, there's also speculation it could be gold. This follows the introduction of a new sandy-beige color, named Sandstone, earlier this year. The expansion of the color palette highlights Sony's ongoing efforts to enhance product variety and appeal to consumers looking for more personalization in their audio devices.
