Experience precise, immersive listening with the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones. Designed in collaboration with mixing engineers, this model combines advanced noise cancellation, high-resolution sound, and crystal-clear calls in a comfortable, foldable over-ear design.
Real-Time Optimized Noise Cancellation
The QN3 HD Noise Cancelling Processor is up to seven times faster than the QN1 processor in the WH-1000XM5. It analyzes and adjusts a system of 12 microphones in real time to improve noise cancellation, sound quality, and call clarity. The adaptive optimizer also takes ambient noise, atmospheric pressure, and headphone fit into account.
High-Resolution Sound True to the Original Recording
The 30 mm drivers are designed to reproduce vocals, instruments, and fine details with precision. The headphones support High-Resolution Audio with or without wires thanks to the LDAC codec, while DSEE Extreme technology uses artificial intelligence to restore some of the details lost in compressed audio files.
Clear Calls in Noisy Environments
Intelligent beamforming technology helps isolate your voice from background noise for clearer conversations. The microphone can also be muted directly from the headphones by pressing the NC/AMB button twice.
Up to 30 Hours of Battery Life
The WH-1000XM6 provides up to 30 hours of listening with noise cancellation enabled, or up to 40 hours with it turned off. A full charge takes approximately 3.5 hours. With a compatible USB-PD adapter sold separately, a 3-minute charge can provide up to 3 hours of listening time.
Multipoint Bluetooth and Low-Latency Audio
Bluetooth 5.3 technology provides a wireless range of approximately 10 m, while multipoint connectivity makes it easy to switch between two compatible devices. LE Audio support also provides low-latency transmission, particularly useful for compatible videos and games.
Wired or Wireless Listening
The headphones can be used wirelessly or connected to an audio source using the included 1.2 m detachable cable. They can also operate in passive mode when the battery is depleted. Frequency response reaches 4 to 40,000 Hz when used with a wired connection, while Bluetooth communication covers up to 20 to 40,000 Hz with LDAC and a compatible source.
Comfortable and Easy to Store
A wider headband, soft covering, and stepless adjustment system help reduce pressure during extended listening sessions. The foldable design makes it easy to store the headphones in the included compact carrying case.
