As much as we love the Sony WF-1000XM5 earbuds and Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones they're not much fun in the color department: earbuds like Google's Pixel Buds Pro 2 are much more visually entertaining, and while this month's AirPods Max update was a little disappointing there's no denying that Apple's colors are more fun than those in Sony's flagship. So it's nice to see a new color option for both the in-ear and over-ear Sony flagships.
The new color is called Smoky Pink and as you can see it's more of a pastel pink than a Barbie hue or the bright coral of the Pixel Buds Pro 2. That fits with the other color options – black, midnight blue and platinum silver – which are all low-key and understated.
