Sony WH-1000XM6/S Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones - 2025 - Platinum Silver
The Sony WH-1000XM6/S wireless noise cancelling headphones combine advanced noise cancellation, high-resolution sound, intelligent call technology, and all-day comfort in a refined Platinum Silver design. Whether you're listening to music, watching movies, gaming, or taking calls, these over-ear headphones are designed to keep your audio clear while giving you control over how much of the outside world you hear.
Advanced Noise Cancellation That Adapts in Real Time
The Sony WH-1000XM6/S uses the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN3, which processes information seven times faster than the QN1 found in the WH-1000XM5. It works with 12 microphones in real time to optimize noise cancellation, sound quality, and call clarity.
The Adaptive NC Optimizer automatically adjusts noise cancellation based on external noise, air pressure, and the way the headphones are being worn. Instead of relying on one fixed setting, the headphones continuously adapt to your surroundings for a more consistent listening experience.
Atmospheric pressure optimization, Personal NC Optimizer, Quick Attention, and Ambient Sound Mode are also included, giving you several ways to control your listening environment.
Stay Aware With Auto Ambient Sound
Need to hear what's happening around you? Auto Ambient Sound Mode balances your music with external sounds in real time. Multiple microphones can filter unwanted noise while allowing important sounds, conversations, or announcements through.
You can also adjust ambient sound and noise cancellation settings manually through the Sony | Sound Connect app.
Premium Sound Tuned With Mastering Engineers
The Sony WH-1000XM6/S was co-created with renowned mastering engineers to preserve the detail, emotion, and character of your music. From vocals and instruments to deep bass and crisp highs, the tuning is designed for studio-level accuracy.
A specially developed 30 mm driver uses a high-rigidity carbon fiber composite material dome and uniquely developed voice coil structure to reproduce subtle details across the frequency range. The result is richer vocals, more defined instruments, and a balanced presentation.
High-Resolution Audio With LDAC
High-Resolution Audio is supported both with and without wires. LDAC transmits approximately three times more data than conventional Bluetooth audio, allowing compatible devices to deliver exceptional high-resolution wireless sound.
The headphones also feature newly developed look-ahead noise shaper D/A conversion technology that helps reduce distortion, enhance bass energy, and produce crisp, accurate sound.
DSEE Extreme uses Edge-AI to upscale compressed digital music files in real time. By recognizing instrumentation, genres, and individual elements of a song, it restores high-range sound that can be lost during compression.
Customize Your Sound With the Sound Connect App
The Sony | Sound Connect app puts your listening experience in your hands. Adjust noise cancellation, ambient sound, and personalized EQ settings to suit your preferences.
For music, you can use the 10-band EQ or Background Music Effect. Game EQ, developed with INZONE expertise, is designed to enhance sound clarity for FPS gaming.
For movies, 360 Reality Audio Upmix for Cinema creates a more spacious, cinematic sound experience from 2-channel stereo content using Sony's 360 Spatial Sound technology.
Immersive Listening With Head Tracking
The Sony WH-1000XM6/S also supports head tracking, which adjusts sound fields as you move your head. Compatible devices and services can use this technology to keep sounds precisely aligned with your headphones for a more immersive listening experience.
With compatible BRAVIA devices, Dolby Atmos and 360 Spatial Sound can provide a personalized cinematic experience that adapts to your ears.
The headphones also use sensor and spatial sound technology for compatible augmented reality gaming experiences, including head-tracked sound that corresponds with the action on screen.
Clear Calls With Six-Microphone AI Beamforming
When you're taking calls in a busy environment, the Sony WH-1000XM6/S uses a six-microphone AI-based beamforming system to focus on your voice while filtering background noise.
AI-optimized noise reduction, Precise Voice Pickup Technology, and a refined microphone structure help reduce background and wind noise. You can also mute or unmute directly from the headphones by double-pressing the NC/AMB button.
Designed for All-Day Comfort
A wider, asymmetrical headband and smooth synthetic leather are designed to provide a comfortable fit for extended listening. The stepless slider and seamless swivel make adjustments smooth, while the asymmetrical design makes it easy to identify the left and right sides.
The headphones feature a fingerprint-resistant finish and a foldable design that makes them convenient to carry. Their compact carrying case includes a magnetic closure for quick access and storage.
The headphones and carrying case also use recycled materials sourced from post-consumer waste.
Smart Controls Without Reaching for Your Phone
Why stop what you're doing just to change a song or adjust the volume? The Sony WH-1000XM6/S provides intuitive controls through tactile buttons and a responsive touch panel.
A capacitive sensor detects when you're wearing the headphones. Take them off and your music pauses; put them back on and playback resumes.
Speak-to-Chat can automatically pause your music when you start talking, allowing you to hear ambient sound while having a conversation. You can also use natural head gestures, such as nodding or shaking your head, for supported controls.
Voice control is available as well, including hands-free access to Google services when connected to a compatible smartphone.
Scene-Based Listening and Auto Play
The headphones can sense your situation and adjust the listening experience accordingly. Adaptive Sound Control uses AI to recognize where you are and what you're doing, then changes ambient sound settings to suit your surroundings.
Auto Play can automatically begin playback when you put the headphones on and can select audio based on routines or activities such as walking, working out, or commuting. Voice Cue can also provide important information such as appointments and reminders.
Bluetooth 5.3 and Multipoint Connection
The Sony WH-1000XM6/S supports Bluetooth 5.3 with an effective range of approximately 10 m. Supported audio formats include SBC, AAC, LDAC, and LC3.
Multipoint connection allows the headphones to remain paired with two Bluetooth devices at the same time. They can automatically switch between devices when a call comes in or playback begins on another connected device.
The headphones are also ready for LE Audio, offering ultra-low latency for gaming and support for Auracast public broadcasts.
Long Battery Life and Quick Charging
With noise cancellation enabled, the Sony WH-1000XM6/S provides up to 30 hours of continuous music playback. With noise cancellation turned off, battery life increases to up to 40 hours.
For communication, battery life is rated at up to 24 hours with noise cancellation on and up to 28 hours with it off.
A full charge takes approximately 3.5 hours. When you need power quickly, a 3-minute charge can provide up to 3 hours of music playback under the specified charging conditions. You can also continue listening while charging through USB.
What's Included
Inside the box, you'll find the headphones, a compact carrying case, an approximately 1.2 m headphone cable, and a USB charging cable.
The Sony WH-1000XM6/S brings together adaptive noise cancellation, studio-focused sound, intelligent call processing, immersive audio features, smart controls, and long battery life in a comfortable, foldable design. Finished in Platinum Silver, it's built to give you detailed sound while making it easy to control your listening experience wherever you go.
