Sony has just released the WH-1000XM6 noise canceling Bluetooth headphones. Measured as the best noise cancelation in the world, they deliver studio quality sound and feature Sony's most advanced noise canceling yet. Developed in collaboration with GRAMMY-winning mastering audio engineers at three highly respected recording studios—Sterling Sound, Battery Studios, and Coast Mastering—Sony wanted to ensure professional accuracy and a superior music experience.
The WH-1000XM6 headphones are powered by a new HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3 that is seven times faster than the previous model, WH-1000XM5, and uses 12 microphones to fine-tune sounds in real time. The precise detection of the 12 microphones allows for more accurate and adaptive noise cancellation to fit the user's environment.
The Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones offer three immersive listening modes: Standard Mode is the default setting, “providing a clear, balanced, and dynamic sound optimized for general listening.” Background Music Mode “creates a wider soundstage, making the music sound more ambient and less intrusive, perfect for focus or work environments.” Cinema Mode “expands the soundstage, emphasizing low-end impact and high-frequency details to create a theater-like audio experience, ideal for movies and orchestral music.”
The WH-1000XM6 also features Adaptive Noise Cancelation (ANC), which automatically adjusts the noise cancelation level based on your environment. Ambient Sound Mode allows you to control how much external sound you hear, with adjustable levels and features like Quick Attention Mode and Speak-to-Chat. Adaptive Sound Control automatically switches between ANC, Ambient Mode, and ANC Off based on your activity and location.
The controls allow users to switch between the modes with tactile buttons and a touch panel. Memorizing a few commands will maximize your listening experience with the WH-1000XM6. These commands can also be accomplished with the Sony | Sound Connect free app. When listening to music, listeners can customize their sound with a 10-band EQ or create a spacious feel with Background Music Effect. Gamers can also enjoy the Game EQ. For movies on the go, the WH-1000XM6 also features a spatial sound experience called 360 Reality Audio Upmix.
Available in black, midnight blue, and platinum silver. $449
