Sony WH-1000XM6 Debuts With Next-Level Noise Canceling at $449

Sony has just launched the WH-1000XM6, which is the sixth generation of the company’s hugely popular WH-1000X headphones. The company claims that it has the “Best Noise Cancellation” along with premium sound, in a foldable design. Which makes it great for “everyday music lovers, travellers, and music professionals.”

Sony is using a new HD Noise Canceling Processor, the QN3, in the WH-1000XM6. This makes it seven times faster than the previous model and uses twelve microphones inside. This is all used to fine-tune sounds in real time. Making these great to block out noise on a busy commute or to stay focused in the office.

Sony also has its new Adaptive NC Optimizer included, which is able to deliver unmatched noise canceling precision that adjusts to any form of external noise and air pressure.

As expected, the WH-1000XM6 does support High-Resolution Audio and High-Resolution Audio Wireless, thanks to LDAC. It also uses Edge-AI, DSEE Extreme to upscale compressed digital music files in real-time to restore high-range sound lost in compression.

Sony’s WH-1000XM6 headphones are engineered for stunning audio clarity, thanks to custom-designed drivers that make every detail pop. The dome uses a high-rigidity carbon fiber composite, paired with a specially developed voice coil structure, to capture the full nuance of every frequency. The result? Vocals come through warmer and more expressive, instruments sound sharper and more distinct, and the emotional depth of your music hits harder than ever.

Sony’s pricing appears impacted by tariffs

While Sony, and no other company will admit, that price increases are being impacted by tariffs, it definitely seems likely here. Sony says that the WH-1000XM6 will cost $449 in the US and $599 in Canada. That is a $100 increase over the WH-1000XM5 which launched a few years ago.

They are available in three colors: Black, Platinum Silver and Midnight Blue.

The Sony WH-1000XM6 will be available from Sony, Amazon and other retailers.
