SONY Wireless Noise Cancelling Stereo Headset Black WH-1000XM6B

balanced high-quality sound

■ Co-creation with well-known mastering engineers
Tuned with well-known mastering engineers to achieve higher-dimensional sound quality. We exchanged opinions from the development stage to realize the high-pitched quality that creators want to deliver.

■WH-1000XM6 Dedicated Design Driver Unit
The vibrating plate uses a carbon fiber composite material that combines a soft edge with a lightweight dome with a higher rigidity than before to enhance reproducibility from a low-pitched range to a high-pitched range.
Furthermore, by adopting a voice coil bobbin structure provided with a hole uniquely developed by Sony for optimizing the flow of air inside, reproducibility of the high-pitched range is further improved, and smoother and more elongated high-pitched reproduction is achieved. Enjoy natural and clear sound quality from low to high.

■ Advanced Noise Shaper D/A Conversion Technology for High Quality Noise Cancelling Processor QN3
The high-quality noise cancelling processor QN3 has developed D/A conversion technology, and has developed a new “forward-reading noise shaper” that performs optimal processing by pre-reading calculation of quantization noise.
This technology improves responsiveness to the rise of steep sounds and provides powerful low-pitched energy and clear speed sound quality. It faithfully reproduces the details of the sound intended by the creator.

■ Utilization of Walkman(R) technology
Walkman(R) optimized high-quality technology for headphones, reproduced fine sounds by improving S/N, and improved spread and localization. We will thoroughly focus on the layout of the board and deliver the creator’s intended sound as it is.

■ DSEE Extreme (※2) brings high-resolution (1) realism to all sound sources
Compressed sound sources such as streaming are analyzed in real time with AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology that learns vast amounts of music data, and are optimized for high-resolution (*1) sound quality according to music genres and musical instruments. Enjoy immersive, high-quality sound by reproducing the original frequency characteristics of the sound source lost due to compression with higher accuracy.
※1 When playing compressed sound sources such as CDs and MP3s with the SBC/AAC/LDAC codec during DSEE Extreme ON, extend up to 96 kHz/24 bit (DSEE Extreme may be disabled even if compressed sound sources are transmitted via LDAC depending on the specifications of the playback equipment). Also, it is disabled when wired.)
※2 DSEE Extreme can be enjoyed by enabling features from the Sony Sound Connect app

■ Wired for high-resolution playback
By connecting the included headphone cable, you can play it as it is without damaging the sound of the high-resolution sound source.
※ The included headphone cable is for audio output only. Microphone calls are not allowed when wired
※ Turn on and use the headset when playing high-resolution audio
World’s Best Noise Cancellation

■ High Quality Noise Cancelling Processor QN3
This is the first upgrade in seven years since WH-1000XM3, with the newly developed high-quality noise cancelling processor QN3. The noise cancellation performance has improved dramatically by achieving more than seven times the processing power of traditional QN1.

■ Adaptive NC Optimizer
The adaptive NC optimizer in the high-quality noise cancellation processor QN3 provides real-time external noise and wear analysis with the highest accuracy in the 1000X series and always optimal noise cancellation.
In particular, even in environments where processing speed in high frequency bands is required, it adapts to changing external noise and mounting conditions. You can enjoy a comfortable and immersive experience of music without being influenced by the surroundings in all situations, such as ambient noise, changes in atmospheric pressure, and wearing glasses or hats.

■ Multi-noise sensor technology with 12 microphones
Sony’s own high-quality noise cancellation processor QN3 and multi-noise sensor technology using 12 microphones have greatly improved noise cancellation performance.
12 microphones optimized for noise cancellation dramatically improve analysis accuracy of ambient noise and mounting conditions. By placing a microphone near the ear, we can analyze the surrounding noise more accurately.

※ In the headband noise cancelling headphone market, as of March 1, 2025. Sony Research, International Electrical Standards Conference (IEC) conform to the standard of
360 Upmix for Cinema Sony’s unique stereophonic technology, immersive movie viewing experience

■360 Upmix for Cinema
Sony’s unique 360 Reality Audio Upmix (360 Upmix) makes stereo sound sources pseudo-convert to three-dimensional and realistic sound sources. You can enjoy powerful movies and videos with headphones on.

■ 360 Reality Audio Certified Model
360 Reality Audio is an immersive music experience, as if surrounded by live performances by artists. Optimize your ear shape and headphone characteristics with the Sony Sound Connect app for a more realistic experience.

Further evolution of call performance
■ AI beamforming using 6 microphones
Sony’s unique AI beamforming algorithm with six microphones provides sharper directivity.

■ Noise reduction AI
An algorithm composed of more than 500 million samples of machine learning reduces ambient noise and extracts your voice clearly.

■Supports super wideband when connecting LE audio
Double the band and make your voice sound more natural and clear.

■ Turn the microphone on or off by operating the main body button
Simply press the NC/AMB button twice to switch the microphone on or off.

FOLDING MECHANISM EASILY TO CARRY
With its folding function and compact carrying case, it fits neatly in your airplane seat pocket and work bag, making it even more convenient to carry around. The folding part uses MIM-processed metal, a technology used in areas requiring design and precision design, to combine sophisticated design with high durability.
In addition, the carrying case has been opened and closed in a magnet way from the zipper type of the previous model, making it easier to open and close.
