SilverThe Best Noise Cancellation*
Powered by advanced processors and an adaptive microphone system, the WH-1000XM6 headphones deliver real-time noise cancellation for an immersive, distraction-free listening experience.
Co-created with Mastering Audio Engineers
Developed in collaboration with world-renowned mastering audio engineers, these headphones deliver unparalleled sound clarity and precision. A specially designed driver with a lightweight carbon fiber dome delivers high fidelity sound, where rich vocals and every instrument remains pure and balanced. Optimized for advanced noise cancellation, the WH-1000XM6 headphones keep every frequency crisp and true to the artist’s intent.
HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN3
The HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN3 is 7x faster than the QN1 (found in our WH-1000XM5 headphones), optimizing 12 microphones in real time for superior noise cancellation, sound quality, and call clarity. With more microphones than ever, we can precisely detect external noise and counteracts it with opposite soundwaves, delivering a new level of noise cancellation.
Adaptive NC Optimizer
Our new Adaptive NC Optimizer intelligently adjusts to a variety of factors, including external noise, air pressure, and your wearing style, even while wearing a hat or glasses, for uninterrupted, immersive sound. This technology monitors your environment to ensure you enjoy the purest, most immersive sound, no matter where you are.
Auto Ambient Sound Mode
Our Auto Ambient Sound mode adapts to your surroundings in real time by balancing music and external sound. The multiple microphones can filter out the noise or let in what matters: announcements, conversations, or the world around you.
Authenticity, in every note
The newly developed look-ahead noise shaper D/A conversion technology in our HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN3, better anticipates and adjusts the combined output—reducing distortion, enhancing bass energy, and delivering crisp, fast sound that stays true to your music.
High-Resolution Audio
The WH-1000XM6 headphones support High-Resolution Audio and High-Resolution Audio Wireless, thanks to LDAC, our industry-adopted audio coding technology. LDAC transmits approximately three times more data than conventional Bluetooth audio for exceptional High-Resolution Audio quality.
Real-time File Restoration
Using Edge-AI, DSEE Extreme upscales compressed digital music files in real time. It dynamically identifies instrumentation, musical genres, and individual elements of each song, restoring high-range sound lost during compression.
Ultra-clear calls, from anywhere
A six-microphone AI-based beamforming system, intelligent noise reduction technology, and wind-resistant design, work together to isolate your voice, filter out background noise, and ensure every word comes through crisp and clear—even in the busiest environments.
Tailored Comfort, Thoughtfully Designed
A wider, asymmetrical headband with smooth synthetic leather ensures a pressure-free, all-day fit, while a stepless slider and seamless swivel make every adjustment effortless. Crafted for durability and style, the foldable design features precision metalwork and a compact case with a magnetic closure—ready to go wherever you do, in three premium colors: Black, Platinum Silver, and Midnight Blue.
Intuitive Controls
Tap, swipe, or press to switch between noise Cancelling, ambient sound, and mute, seamlessly. Adjust your music and volume with a simple touch, and your headphones even pause when you start talking, so you stay connected without missing a beat.
Sound Connect app
Customize your listening experience with the Sony | Sound Connect app. Fine-tune noise cancellation, adjust ambient sound levels, and personalize your EQ settings for your ideal listening preferences.
