The Best Noise Cancellation
Experience powerful, adaptive noise cancelling that keeps distractions out and your music front and center. Powered by dual processors and eight adaptive microphones, the WF-1000XM6 earbuds adapt in real time to keep your world quiet and your music pure.
Co-created with Mastering Audio Engineers
Developed in collaboration with mastering audio engineers, the WF-1000XM6 earbuds deliver studio-level clarity and emotion to every track—revealing subtle details and authentic sound, all in a compact earbud.
HD Noise Cancelling Processor
The HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN3e is 3x faster than the QN2e (found in our WF-1000XM5 earbuds), paired with an improved DAC and amplifier, precisely manages microphones to block out every day sounds and deliver cleaner, richer audio that feels true to the moment.
Adaptive NC Optimizer
Adaptive NC Optimizer uses eight adaptive microphones to track ambient sound while the processor automatically adjusts the noise cancelling profile in real time, keeping performance strong in any environment or wearing condition.
Auto Ambient Sound Mode
Choose from three Auto Ambient Sound modes that adapt in real time, balancing your music and the world around you. Multiple microphones filter noise or let in what matters, like announcements or conversations, with manual or automatic adjustments via the Sony | Sound Connect app.
Premium Sound Quality
Expertly tuned for natural balance and immersive detail.
Hi-Resolution Audio
Enjoy High-Resolution Audio Wireless thanks to LDAC, Sony’s industry-adopted audio coding technology. LDAC transmits about three times more data than standard Bluetooth audio, giving you exceptional wireless sound quality.
Real-time File Restoration
Using Edge-AI, DSEE Extreme upscales compressed digital music files in real time,8 recognizing instrumentation, genres, and individual elements of each song to restore high-range sound lost in compression.
Ultra Clear Call-Quality
Dual beamforming microphones, a bone conduction sensor, and AI-powered noise reduction technology, isolate your voice and block background and wind noise for ultra-clear calls anywhere. Intelligent algorithms ensure every word is heard clearly—even in noisy settings.
Ergonomic Design and Secure Fit
Ergonomic earbuds contour naturally for a secure, balanced fit. Premium matte texture and smart airflow ensure all-day comfort and an elevated look, while pressure points are minimized for long listening sessions.
Sweat and splash-resistant
The earbuds have an IPX4 rating and matte finish that repels sweat and splashes. (Note: Charging case is not water resistant)
Intuitive Controls
On-ear controls make it simple to switch your microphone on and off, adjust volume, and manage playback. Built-in voice control and gesture commands offer seamless operation for everyday convenience.
Sound Connect App
The Sony | Sound Connect app lets you personalize your sound, compare settings, and fine-tune details for every song, scene, or game session. It also enables advanced features like Adaptive Sound Control, Quick Access, and Battery Care.
