The Sony WH-1000XM6 is Sony's flagship wireless noise-canceling headphone, replacing the WH-1000XM5. It adds the QN3 processor, 12 microphones, and an Adaptive NC Optimizer that adjusts to your environment and how you wear the headphones. Sound was tuned with mastering engineers, and the headphones fold for the first time in the line since the XM3. They suit frequent flyers, commuters, and remote workers who want top-tier noise cancellation and a refined, customizable sound. Against the Bose QuietComfort Ultra and Apple AirPods Max, the XM6 offers more granular EQ and noise-canceling controls, a lighter build than the AirPods Max, and a folding design the XM5 lacked.
