Capturing the artist's intent and expression
Sony has always been a benchmark for premium quality, and these headphones take it to a new level. When I listen to music on the WH-1000XM6 headphones, I can be transported to a different world. They have excellent bass response, overall great frequency response, great soundstage, stereo width, great depth, and great presence and detail. They truthfully represent the sounds of the recordings that we work so hard to make. I really enjoy them.

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.

Enjoy High-Resolution Audio with and without wires

The WH-1000XM6 supports High-Resolution Audio and High-Resolution Audio Wireless, thanks to LDAC, our industry-adopted audio coding technology. LDAC transmits approximately three times more data than conventional Bluetooth audio for exceptional High-Resolution Audio quality.

Real-time restoration of all your compressed files

Using Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence), DSEE Extreme upscales compressed digital music files in real time. Dynamically recognising instrumentation, musical genres and individual elements of each song, it restores high range sound lost in compression.

Fine-tune your entertainment experience

With the Sony | Sound Connect app it's easy to personalise your sound. Compare settings, tweak the details, and find the perfect balance for every song, scene, and game session.
