Sony WH-1000XM6 Premium Noise Cancelling Over-Ear Headphones – Black (Travel & Work Focus)

Sony WH-1000XM6 in Black are premium wireless over-ear headphones engineered to be a go-to choice for frequent travellers and hybrid workers who need powerful noise cancelling and all-day comfort. With improved ANC, refined tuning and a more compact folding design, they build on the strengths of the WH-1000XM5 while adding practical upgrades for portability.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Advanced ANC for Travel
The WH-1000XM6 deploy a network of 12 microphones around the earcups and the faster QN3 processor to better detect and cancel a broad spectrum of ambient noise. Real-time optimisation helps them react quickly to changing environments, from aircraft cabins and trains to open offices and cafés. Adaptive Sound Control can learn your routine and automatically adjust ambient levels and ANC profiles when you’re commuting, walking or sitting.

Comfort, Foldability & Build
Sony has refined the headband and earcup design to improve weight distribution and long-term comfort, using soft, pressure-relieving cushions and a slightly wider band. The return to a folding hinge mechanism means the earcups tuck into a smaller, redesigned case that uses a magnetic latch instead of a zipper for quick access. The matte black finish and clean lines give the WH-1000XM6 a premium yet understated aesthetic suitable for office, studio and travel use.

Clear Calls & Smart Controls
Three external microphones near the mouth and beamforming AI concentrate on your voice, while noise reduction algorithms cut down on wind and crowd noise for clearer conversations. Speak-to-chat can automatically pause audio and enable ambient sound when you start talking, and touch controls on the earcup manage volume, playback and ANC modes. Multipoint Bluetooth lets you stay connected to your laptop and phone simultaneously, so you can seamlessly switch from music to calls.
