Product details

Experience the best noise cancelling with the WF-1000XM6. With HD noise cancelling processor QN3e and 8 precision microphones - two more than the award-winning WF-1000XM5 - these headphones suppress ambient noise. The noise-isolating ear tips enhance this effect, while the adaptive NC optimisation adapts to the environment and delivers consistently strong performance.

In collaboration with award-winning mastering engineers, the WF-1000XM6 were developed based on the highly acclaimed 1000X series for outstanding sound quality. The dedicated driver unit delivers harmonic sound, while DSEE restores extreme detail in compressed tracks. With wireless high-resolution audio options, you can customise your sound in the Sony Sound Connect app.

With an optimised ergonomic design, the headphones offer a secure fit for greater comfort. Ventilation minimises internal noise such as chewing, while IPX4 protects against sweat and splashing water.

Call quality is the best yet for Sony True Wireless headphones. Advanced Voice Pickup technology combines bone conduction sensors with beamforming microphones and AI noise cancellation, so your voice sounds clear even in noisy environments. Mute directly from the headphones.

With up to 8 hours of battery life (24 hours with the case) and a quick charge function that enables one hour of playback after just 5 minutes of charging, the WF-1000XM6 are ideal for everyday use.

The stability of the wireless connection has been improved by the development of an antenna that is 1.5 times larger than the previous model. This enables a more reliable connection even in heavily frequented areas.

The WF-1000XM6 also support hands-free access to Google Assistant and Gemini. Thanks to activation words, you can leave your smartphone in your pocket while using your AI assistant.

With the Sony Sound Connect app on iOS and Android, you can control all the important functions, 10-band EQ, settings and more for a personalised listening experience.

Sony's WF-1000XM6 in-ears delivered a first-class hi-fi sound when tested: powerful bass meets silky highs and clean mids. The result is a clear, natural sound image with a deep and wide sound stage. The active noise cancellation is also powerful: it reduces low and high ambient noise very evenly...

      If headphones were only about noise cancellation and sound quality, I would have given Sony's WF-1000XM6 top marks without hesitation. But in practice, wearing comfort, operation and the app also count for me.
