From price to color options you just need to know

The highly expected WH-1000xM6 headphones from Sony have tacitly appeared thanks to a fleeting appearance on the company's regional websites. The unintentional list not only showed official pictures, but also revealed pricing, color variants and a shipping time bar that offers a small insight into the richest ANC headphones in Sony so far.

New colors, higher price tag

According to information that was discovered by The Walkman blogThe WH-1000XM6 will be available in three surfaces: black, platinum silver and a brand new midnight blue. The headphones costs € 449 in the euro zone and £ 399 in Great Britain-a noticeable jump from the starting price of WH-1000XM5 of € 419. Indian buyers can expect around 45,000 rupees, while a US price remains unconfirmed. Without still in North America, Sony could possibly reserve this publication for European and British markets for the time being.

Foldable form fulfills familiar functions

The WH-1000XM6 continues Sony to refine its flagship-CAC list. The headphones are expected to offer a foldable design – something that fans of the series have requested for a long time. Internally, the XM6 is driven by Sony's Qn3 deception chip from Sony, which is supported by 12 microphones and 30 mm audio drivers. The battery life is with the predecessor model and promises up to 30 hours on the full load and support for 360 reality audio.

Early enthusiasts also praised the changes. An X user stated: “The magnetic case and a wider headband are such a profit.” However, not everyone is sold at the higher prices. Despite speculated functions such as Hi-Re-Audio support, LDAC and a new EQ mode in games, some potential buyers provide whether the upgrades justify a price increase of 12%.

Shipping begins on May 16 – but not everywhere

Sony seems to be aimed at a shipping date on May 16 and with a leaked Amazon Spain list, as reported by Gizmochina. Timing also coincides with the upcoming “Chapter 6” event of the company, which may serve as an official start. While in Europe and Great Britain, North American markets were in the dark and continue to refuel that Sony could at least initially delay or skip a US start.

With the WH-1000XM5, which still receives around $ 291.50 at Amazon, the XM6 has to fill large shoes. It remains to be seen whether the new design and incremental improvements are sufficient to justify the price increase. At the moment, the fans have to wait for the formal announcement of Sony to see if the XM6 meets the increasing hype – or is a premium misalignment.
