Sony WH-1000XM6/B Black Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones

Tailored comfort for daily listening

The Sony WH-1000XM6/B headphones are lightweight over-ear models finished in black. They are built for commuters, office workers and travellers who want wireless freedom with active noise cancellation. The 30 mm carbon-fibre dome drivers deliver high-resolution audio, while the six-microphone AI beamforming system isolates speech for clear calls. A USB charging cable and a three-year Amber protection plan are included in the box.

Bluetooth range and 2.4 GHz limits

Wireless audio travels over the 2.4 GHz band (2.4000–2.4835 GHz) with an effective range of 10 m or 32.81 ft. Walls, other Bluetooth devices and crowded Wi-Fi channels can reduce the practical distance. The 48 ohm input impedance suits portable sources, but the headphones have no wired analogue input, so they cannot be used passively when the battery is empty. Latency may affect competitive gaming despite the game equaliser preset.

Forty-hour battery and storage headroom

With noise cancellation off the battery lasts up to 40 hours, giving several days of typical commuting before a recharge is needed. Adaptive NC Optimiser and Ambient Sound Mode draw extra power, so real-world runtime will be shorter. The headphones weigh 1.5 units and fold flat, fitting easily in a small bag, but they do not ship with a hard case, so protection during rough transport is limited.
