An earlier leak suggested that Sony had plans to introduce a new color for the WH-1000XM6. According to the leak, that color would be a sandy beige hue called “Sandstone,” and it would launch on May 19. Well, it turns out that leak hit the nail on the head. Sony has officially announced that the XM6 is now available in Sandstone.

This makes Sandstone the second new color to be added to the available list of options this year. If you don’t remember, Sony announced a Sand Pink colorway back in February, along with the launch of the WF-1000XM6. Sandstone now joins Sand Pink, Black, Platinum Silver, and Midnight Blue as the fifth colorway.
You’ll be able to get the WH-1000XM6 in Sandstone on Sony’s website or through Amazon. It will cost the same retail price of $459.99 USD / $599.99 CAD. If you want something even more premium than the WH-1000XM6, the company is celebrating the headset’s 10-year anniversary with its “1000X The ColleXion.”
