Sony’s flagship true wireless earbuds, the WF-1000XM6, are edging closer to an official debut, and a fresh leak has, for the first time, outlined the expected European price. Sources indicate the new model could come in below its predecessor, despite its premium positioning—an intriguing signal for anyone weighing an upgrade.
According to Dealabs, the WF-1000XM6 are slated to go on sale in Europe at €299.99, with black and silver finishes. For comparison, the WF-1000XM5 launched at €319.99. While the exact release date hasn’t been confirmed, the earbuds are expected in the first quarter of 2026, with an official reveal potentially lined up for CES 2026.
This pricing leak adds to a trail of indirect signs seen in recent months. In 2025, a device labeled YY2985 appeared in the Sony Sound Connect app, followed by certifications across several countries. Later, spare parts for the WF-1000XM6 briefly surfaced in retailer Encompass’s catalog, further reinforcing the model’s existence and its color options. The pattern typically points to a launch drawing near, and here it appears to be no exception.
