The Sony WH-1000XM6 is Sony's flagship wireless noise-canceling headphone, succeeding the WH-1000XM5. It uses the HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3, which Sony says is seven times faster than the QN1 and optimizes 12 microphones in real time, plus an Adaptive NC Optimizer that adjusts to noise, air pressure and fit. It supports high-resolution audio and LDAC, and Sony tuned it with mastering engineers. It suits frequent flyers, commuters and remote workers who want top-tier ANC and sound. Against Bose's QuietComfort Ultra and Apple's AirPods Max, it offers more processing power and codec support, but its 3.5-star rating from 31 users suggests some are not fully satisfied.

The Sony WH-1000XM6 is a pair of wireless over-ear noise canceling headphones with a built-in microphone. They connect over Bluetooth and also work with the included audio cable. The HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3 is 7x faster than the QN1 in the WH-1000XM5 and optimizes 12 microphones in real time. The Adaptive NC Optimizer adjusts to outside noise, air pressure and how the headphones are worn.
Sound is tuned with mastering audio engineers. The headphones support High-Resolution Audio and LDAC. DSEE Extreme with Edge-AI restores high-range sound lost in compressed music. Auto Ambient Sound Mode lets in outside sound so you can stay aware of your surroundings. For calls, a six-microphone AI beamforming system isolates your voice and filters out background noise.
The headband is wider and asymmetrical, with synthetic leather, and the headphones fold for travel. Controls let you adjust volume and play music without using your phone. The headphones detect when you speak and pause the music. The Sony | Sound Connect app adjusts noise cancellation and ambient sound and offers personalized EQ settings.
