Featuring the most intelligent noise cancellation and co-created with world-renowned mastering engineers
Sony today announces the launch of its highly anticipated WH-1000XM6, the latest in its award-winning 1000X series, setting a new benchmark in wireless noise cancelling headphone technology. Designed for music lovers, professionals, and travelers alike, the WH-1000XM6 combines unmatched audio precision, smart features, and all-day comfort into one powerful listening solution.
At the core of the WH-1000XM6 lies Sony’s most advanced HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN3, delivering real-time optimisation through an array of 12 precision-placed microphones—1.5 times more than the previous generation. With adaptive intelligence that tunes out distractions as they occur, users can now enjoy an immersive experience no matter the environment.
Sony has once again partnered with the world’s top audio professionals to fine-tune its sound. Developed in collaboration with Grammy-winning and nominated mastering engineers from Sterling Sound, Battery Studios, and Coast Mastering, the WH-1000XM6 delivers studio-quality audio as intended by the artist. Engineers like Randy Merrill (Taylor Swift, Adele) and Mike Piacentini (Depeche Mode, James Brown) praised the headphones for faithfully reproducing every sonic detail with richness, depth, and emotional nuance.
Sony’s Adaptive NC Optimiser ensures precise cancellation in various conditions, including air travel. The new specially designed driver unit with a carbon fibre composite dome enhances clarity, while DSEE Extreme™ and LDAC technologies restore and deliver high-resolution audio wirelessly. Meanwhile, movie lovers can enjoy 360 Reality Audio Upmix for Cinema, transforming stereo content into immersive, spatial sound.
For calls and virtual meetings, the WH-1000XM6 excels with its six-microphone AI-based beamforming system, ensuring ultra-clear voice pickup even in noisy environments. The headphones also offer a tactile mute button and intuitive touch panel for seamless control.
Designed for both elegance and endurance, the WH-1000XM6 features a premium vegan leather finish, a re-engineered wide headband for better fit, and stretchable earpads for long wear comfort. The newly designed compact foldable structure includes a magnetic case, making it ideal for on-the-go storage.
Smart functionality continues with Scene-based Listening, which adjusts settings based on user activity and environment. The WH-1000XM6 supports LE Audio and Auracast™, ensuring low latency for gaming and enhanced broadcasting capabilities. Multi-point connectivity and quick device switching round out a smarter, more connected experience.
In partnership with global icon Post Malone, Sony highlights the spirit of creativity and authenticity behind the WH-1000XM6 in its “For The Music” campaign. Post Malone, a 9x Diamond-certified and GRAMMY®-nominated artist, shares how the new headphones bring him closer to his music than ever before.
Sony also reaffirms its environmental responsibility by using 100% paper packaging, including its proprietary Original Blended Material made from bamboo, sugarcane fibres, and recycled paper.
The WH-1000XM6 is now available for pre-order in Black, Platinum Silver, and Midnight Blue at a retail price of RM2,099.
