It’s been a big week for Sony. The brand just launched the new XM6 earbuds which have proven to be some of the most well-rounded noise-cancelling earbuds Mashable has ever tested. But if you’re more of an over-the-ear headphones type of person, Sony has something exciting in store for you.

On Feb. 12, Sony introduced the Sand Pink colorway to the lineup of XM6 headphone options. Previous colorway options included Black, Midnight Blue, and Platinum Silver, so this pink addition adds nice variety to the much-adored headphones.

In Mashable’s testing, the Sony XM6 headphones got major points for overall sound quality and noise-cancellation. Plus, Sony added a foldable earcup designed to this model, making them more travel friendly compared to the previous XM5 headphones. The XM5 colorway options include a Smoky Pink, but the new Sand Pink XM6 has a warmer and brighter pink hue.

Maybe best of all, the new Sand Pink is already on sale at Amazon. The XM6 headphones come with a list price of $459.99, but they’re already on sale for $398, or a 13% discount.

If you’re not one who likes to sport black or white headphones, this new Sand Pink option adds a major pop of color to the lineup. Plus, we’re pretty obsessed with it as spring rolls around with Valentine’s Day right around the corner.
