Premium noise-cancelling headphones

Sony WH-1000XM6/L headphones deliver advanced noise cancellation powered by the HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3, which manages 12 microphones in real time. The adaptive microphone system optimises performance automatically based on external noise, air pressure and wearing style. Co-created with mastering audio engineers, they are tuned for studio-quality clarity and authentic sound reproduction.

Check Bluetooth and codec support

Verify that your source device supports Bluetooth audio streaming and the LDAC codec to benefit from High-Resolution Audio wireless transmission. Ensure the device can pair with standard Bluetooth headphones for music playback and calls. Confirm your operating system or app provides access to adaptive sound control settings for the Auto Ambient Sound Mode to function correctly.

Edge AI and DSEE Extreme restore detail

Real-time file restoration uses Edge AI and DSEE Extreme to upscale compressed music, recovering high-range sound lost during compression. Advanced noise shaping D/A conversion technology reduces distortion and enhances bass for crisp, accurate audio. LDAC support enables exceptional wireless sound quality when paired with compatible devices.

Questions about this item

Does the WH-1000XM6/L come with a charging cable and carrying case or must they be purchased separately?

The box includes the headphones, a USB charging cable and a carrying case so no extra accessories are required for everyday use.

Should I choose the WH-1000XM6/L over another colour variant for better noise-cancelling performance?

All colour variants share the same HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3 and 12 microphones, so noise-cancelling performance is identical regardless of the finish you select.

How does the 12-microphone array improve calls and noise cancellation once the headphones are on my head?

The 12 microphones feed the QN3 processor, which adjusts noise cancellation in real time and isolates your voice for clearer calls in changing environments.
