Sony WH-1000XM6/B Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones - 2025 - Black
The Sony WH-1000XM6/B wireless noise cancelling headphones combine advanced real-time noise cancellation, studio-tuned sound, intelligent call processing, and all-day comfort in a travel-friendly design. With the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN3, 12 microphones, LDAC support, and up to 30 hours of battery life with noise cancellation enabled, these headphones are designed to keep your music clear and your surroundings under control.
Next-Level Noise Cancellation
The Sony WH-1000XM6/B uses the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN3 to optimize noise cancellation in real time. Processing speeds are seven times faster than the QN1 processor found in the WH-1000XM5, allowing the QN3 to manage 12 microphones simultaneously for improved noise cancellation, sound quality, and call clarity.
The Adaptive NC Optimizer automatically adjusts to external noise, air pressure, and the way you're wearing the headphones. Instead of relying on one fixed setting, the headphones continually adapt to your surroundings for a more consistent listening experience.
When you need to hear what's happening around you, Auto Ambient Sound Mode balances your music with external sounds. You can let the headphones adjust automatically or fine-tune the settings through the Sony | Sound Connect app.
Sound Tuned With Studio Precision
The WH-1000XM6 was co-created with renowned mastering engineers to deliver a listening experience focused on the artist's intent. The tuning is designed to preserve the detail, emotion, and character of your music, from deep bass and defined instruments to crisp vocals and high frequencies.
A high-rigidity carbon fiber composite dome and uniquely developed voice coil structure help bring out subtle details across the frequency range. The result is sound that's designed to feel clear, balanced, and precise.
Sony's newly developed look-ahead noise shaper D/A conversion technology also works to reduce distortion and enhance bass energy, helping deliver fast, crisp sound.
High-Resolution Audio With LDAC
The Sony WH-1000XM6/B supports both High-Resolution Audio and High-Resolution Audio Wireless through LDAC. LDAC transmits approximately three times more data than conventional Bluetooth audio, supporting high-resolution sound quality wirelessly.
For compressed digital music, DSEE Extreme uses Edge-AI to upscale audio in real time. It recognizes elements such as instrumentation and musical genres while restoring high-range sound that can be lost during compression.
Personalized Sound With Sound Connect
The Sony | Sound Connect app gives you more control over your listening experience. Adjust noise cancellation, ambient sound, and EQ settings to create a setup that works for different types of entertainment.
For music, the 10-band EQ lets you fine-tune your sound, while Game EQ is designed to enhance clarity for FPS gaming. For movies, 360 Reality Audio Upmix for Cinema transforms 2-channel stereo content into a more immersive spatial sound experience using Sony's 360 Spatial Sound technology.
The headphones also support head tracking with compatible devices and services, automatically adjusting the sound field as you move your head.
Clear Calls With Six-Microphone Beamforming
Need to take a call in a busy environment? The Sony WH-1000XM6/B uses a six-microphone AI-based beamforming system to focus on your voice while filtering background noise.
An AI-optimized noise reduction algorithm, Precise Voice Pickup Technology, and refined microphone structure work together to reduce unwanted background and wind noise. You can also mute or unmute directly from the headphones with a double press of the NC/AMB button.
Comfortable, Travel-Friendly Design
The WH-1000XM6 is built for extended listening with a wider asymmetrical headband and smooth vegan leather designed to provide a secure yet gentle fit. The stepless slider and seamless swivel make adjustments easy, while the asymmetrical design makes it simple to identify the left and right sides.
When it's time to travel, the headphones fold into their compact carrying case. The case features a magnetic closure for quick access and easy storage in bags or airplane pockets.
The headphones weigh approximately 254 g and use an over-ear, closed-back design.
Smart Controls That Keep You Moving
Why reach for your phone when you don't have to? Intuitive tactile buttons and a responsive touch panel let you adjust volume, control playback, switch between noise cancelling and ambient sound, and manage microphone mute.
A capacitive sensor detects when you're wearing the headphones, automatically pausing your music when you take them off and restarting playback when you put them back on.
Speak-to-Chat can also pause your music when you start talking, letting you hear ambient sound while having a conversation. Once the conversation is finished, your music can resume automatically.
The headphones can even respond to natural head gestures, such as nodding or shaking your head to accept or decline calls.
Smarter Listening With Auto Play and Adaptive Sound Control
The Sony WH-1000XM6/B can make everyday listening more automatic. Auto Play can start music or audio notifications when you put on the headphones, while Voice Cue can keep you informed about important information such as appointments and reminders.
Adaptive Sound Control uses AI to recognize your location and activity and adjust ambient sound settings accordingly. Over time, it can learn locations you visit frequently and tailor the listening experience to suit them.
You can also use voice control, including "Hey Google" when connected to a supported smartphone, for hands-free access to music, notifications, reminders, and more.
Bluetooth 5.3 and Multipoint Connectivity
With Bluetooth Specification Version 5.3 and an effective range of approximately 10 metres, the WH-1000XM6 provides convenient wireless connectivity. Supported audio formats include SBC, AAC, LDAC, and LC3.
Multipoint Connection lets you pair the headphones with two Bluetooth devices at the same time. The headphones can automatically switch between devices when a call comes in or playback begins on another connected device.
The WH-1000XM6 is also ready for LE Audio, supporting ultra-low latency for gaming and other compatible uses. Swift Pair makes connecting to Windows 10 and Windows 11 devices easier, while Fast Pair provides quick pairing with compatible Android devices.
Up to 30 Hours of Battery Life
The Sony WH-1000XM6/B provides up to 30 hours of continuous music playback with noise cancellation enabled and up to 40 hours with noise cancellation turned off. For communication, battery life is rated at up to 24 hours with noise cancellation enabled and up to 28 hours with it turned off.
Charging takes approximately 3.5 hours, and quick charging gives you up to 3 hours of music playback after just 3 minutes when using a USB-PD compatible AC adapter. You can also continue listening while charging through USB, and both Bluetooth and audio cable connections are supported.
Flexible Wired Listening
Wireless convenience doesn't mean you have to stay wireless. The WH-1000XM6 includes a detachable single-sided headphone cable measuring approximately 1.2 m and features a stereo mini jack for wired listening.
The headphones use 30 mm drivers, neodymium magnets, and provide a frequency response of 4–40,000 Hz during active operation. Bluetooth frequency response is 20–20,000 Hz with 44.1 kHz sampling and 20–40,000 Hz with LDAC at 96 kHz sampling and 990 kbps.
Recycled Materials and Sustainable Packaging
Sony has incorporated recycled materials sourced from post-consumer waste into multiple parts of the headphones and carrying case. The packaging also uses Original Blended Material, an environmentally conscious paper made from bamboo, sugarcane fibres, and post-consumer recycled paper.
The approach is designed to reduce environmental impact while maintaining the quality and functionality of the headphones.
What's Included
Inside the box, you'll find the WH-1000XM6 headphones, a carrying case, an approximately 1.2 m headphone cable, and a USB charging cable.
