Designed for superior noise cancellation and sound

Lose yourself in the details. The specially designed driver unit is optimally tuned for enhanced noise cancellation, and supported by a lightweight carbon fibre dome that keeps high frequencies crisp and clear.

Stay in sync. Wherever you are.

Our Auto Ambient Sound mode is even better at adapting to your surroundings in real time, balancing music and external sound. Multiple microphones filter noise or let in what matters: announcements, conversations, or the world around you. Adjust settings automatically or fine-tune them manually in the Sound Connect app.

A specially designed driver unit delivers clarity that feels almost tangible—highs shimmer, vocals breathe, and every detail comes through with precision. With optimized circuitry and premium materials, sound flows effortlessly, pure and balanced.

Richer detail. Clearer vocals.

The high rigidity carbon fiber composite material dome and uniquely developed voice coil structure bring out the subtleties in every frequency—so vocals sound richer, instruments feel more defined, and every track carries more emotion.

Authenticity, in every note

The newly developed look-ahead noise shaper D/A conversion technology in our HD Noise-Cancelling Processor QN3 better anticipates and adjusts the combined output—reducing distortion, enhancing bass energy, and delivering crisp, fast sound that stays true to your music.

Cinema comes alive

Dialogues, sound effects and BGMs in 2ch stereo sound of movie contents through streaming services are transformed into a cinematic sound field with deep immersion. By enhancing dynamic bass and powerful sound, it expands sound beyond your headphones for a theatre-like experience. 360 Reality Audio Upmix for Cinema makes playback of stereo audio sound like spatial audio in your headphones by using Sony‘s 360 Spatial Sound technology.

A new sound experience for AR gaming

If you’re looking for new entertainment options beyond music and movies, the WH-1000XM6 uses new sensors and spatial sound technology to deliver immersive sound for Augmented Reality games like “Ingress” from Niantic. When playing “Ingress” with the WH-1000XM6, sensor and spatial sound technologies deliver a new experience: using head tracking, the sound is conveyed from different directions to line up perfectly with the action on the screen.

Head tracking function

Head tracking ensures a realistic and compelling listening experience by automatically adjusting sound fields to compensate for your head movement. Sounds are precisely aligned with your headphones, even as you move, to completely involve you in your listening, when paired with compatible devices and services.

Conventional use

With conventional headphones, when your head moves, the sound moves with the headphones. This disconnects the sound from its position in space, impairing the 3D effect and presence.

With head-tracking capability

With head tracking, when you move your head, the sound field retains its original position in 3D space, for a realistic viewing and listening experience.

Experience head tracking for yourself

Experience the immersive power of head tracking for yourself with this simulation. Pop on some headphones and watch the video to learn more and hear how head tracking makes your listening more realistic.

Ultra-clear calls

Clarity in every call. Intelligent beamforming isolates your voice from background noise, so you're always heard—even when others are talking. Need to mute? Do it instantly, right from your headphones.

Tailor-quality. Masterfully crafted.

All-day wear comfort. A wider headband and smooth vegan leather ensure a pressure-free fit.

Smooth and fast. Ultra-low latency.

Sound that keeps up with you. The WH-1000XM6 are ready for LE Audio, delivering ultra-low latency for gaming and more. Multi-Point and Auto Switch make switching between devices seamless, while the long-lasting battery keeps you connected longer.
