Sony WH1000XM6 Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphone Blue WH-1000XM6/LME
The Sony WH-1000XM6 wireless headphones are designed for listeners who want focused, detailed sound at home, in the office or while travelling. Sony’s HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN3 works with an adaptive 12-microphone system to respond to surrounding noise in real time, while a comfortable folding design and long battery life make the headphones practical for extended listening.
Adaptive Noise Cancelling
The HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN3 manages 12 microphones to detect surrounding sound and adjust noise cancellation in real time. Adaptive NC Optimiser takes external noise, air pressure and the way the headphones fit into account, helping you stay focused during flights, commutes and busy working days.
Auto Ambient Sound mode offers a practical alternative when you need greater awareness. It can balance your audio with important surrounding sounds such as announcements and conversations, with additional adjustments available through the Sony | Sound Connect app.
Detailed, High-Resolution Sound
The specially developed 30 mm driver uses a carbon-fibre composite dome and an optimised voice-coil structure to reproduce clear vocals, defined instruments and detailed high frequencies. The headphones support High-Resolution Audio when used with a compatible wired source, as well as High-Resolution Audio Wireless through Sony’s LDAC codec and compatible devices.
DSEE Extreme uses Edge-AI processing to upscale compressed digital music in real time. Listeners can also use the Sony | Sound Connect app to adjust a 10-band equaliser, select gaming-focused sound settings and access compatible spatial-audio features such as 360 Reality Audio Upmix for Cinema.
Clearer Calls in Busy Surroundings
A six-microphone AI-based beamforming system focuses on your voice while reducing surrounding noise during calls. Precise Voice Pickup Technology and a wind-noise-reducing microphone structure help maintain speech clarity, while the dedicated control lets you mute the microphone directly from the headphones when supported by the connected application.
Comfortable and Ready to Travel
A wider asymmetrical headband and stretchable earpads are designed to provide a secure but gentle over-ear fit. The metal-injection folding mechanism allows the headphones to fold into the supplied compact carrying case, which has a convenient magnetic closure.
Enjoy up to 30 hours of music playback with noise cancelling switched on, or up to 40 hours with it switched off. When used with compatible USB Power Delivery charging equipment, a three-minute quick charge can provide up to three hours of playback. The headphones can also continue playing while connected to a charging cable.
