The Sony WH-1000XM6 is a pair of wireless noise canceling headphones in black. The HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3 works with 12 microphones to optimize noise cancellation in real time. The Adaptive NC Optimizer adjusts to external noise, air pressure and wearing style. Auto Ambient Sound Mode lets in outside sound so you can stay aware of your surroundings.
The headphones were co-created with mastering audio engineers. They support High-Resolution Audio and LDAC for wireless listening. DSEE Extreme and Edge-AI upscale compressed music to restore high-range sound lost during compression. Advanced noise-shaping D/A conversion technology reduces distortion and enhances bass.
A six-microphone AI-based beamforming system isolates your voice and filters out background noise on calls. The headphones detect when you speak and pause the music. The headband is wider and asymmetrical, with synthetic leather, and the design folds for travel. The Sony | Sound Connect app lets you customize noise cancellation, adjust ambient sound and set a personalized EQ.
