Sony WH-1000XM6 Wireless Headphones

The WH-1000XM6 is Sony's flagship over-ear headphone, aimed at people who spend real time in noise: flights, trains and open-plan offices. It folds down into a hard case, so it packs small for travel rather than taking up half a bag.

What you get

• Twelve microphones feeding a dedicated noise cancelling processor, so steady noise like cabin roar mostly disappears

• 30 mm drivers tuned for a full, even sound rather than a bass-heavy one

• Up to 30 hours of listening with noise cancelling on, and a three-minute charge gives you about three hours

• A folding hinge and a magnetic-clasp case, so the whole thing collapses into a bag

Multipoint Bluetooth , so it stays connected to a laptop and a phone at the same time

• Speak-to-Chat pauses your music the moment you start talking, then picks it back up
