Sony WF-1000XM6 Arrives as Its Most Advanced ANC Earbuds Yet

Sony's flagship true wireless earbuds have a new successor, as the WF-1000XM6 has officially launched, bringing upgraded ANC, refined audio tuning and more to the premium segment. Building on its predecessor, Sony is doubling down on sound quality and call clarity while retaining the compact, comfortable design the series is known for. 

Sony WF-1000XM6 Specifications and Features

Thanks to a previous accidental Sony WF-1000XM6 listing, we already knew of its design already and the WF-1000XM3s' black matte design with gold logo is making a comeback. 

The Sony WF-1000XM6 is powered by the brand's latest QN3e integrated processor, designed to deliver improved adaptive noise cancellation and real-time audio processing. With dual feedback microphones on each earbud, Sony claims stronger ambient noise suppression across a wider range of frequencies. 

The earbuds support Hi-Res Audio Wireless via LDAC, alongside 32-bit audio processing and DSEE Extreme, which enhances compressed audio for richer playback. Sony has also included a newly tuned dynamic driver aimed at delivering clearer vocals, detailed mids and controlled bass. 

Call quality has also been upgraded on the Sony WF-1000XM6 with AI-based voice pickup technology and a bone conduction sensor to better isolate the user's voice from background noise. Wind noise reduction has also been enhanced for improved outdoor calling. 

In terms of battery life, the Sony WF-1000XM6 offers up to 8 hours of playback with active noise cancellation enabled and up to 24 hours in total with the charging case. Fast charging support delivers up to an hour of playback in just a few minutes. The case supports both USB-C and wireless charging.

Connectivity features include multipoint pairing for connecting two devices simultaneously and Bluetooth LE Audio support for better efficiency and lower latency. Users can further customise the experience through the Sony Headphones Connect app, which offers EQ adjustments, adaptive sound control, Speak-to-Chat and touch control settings. The earbuds carry an IPX4 rating for water resistance. 

With that said, here's a quick rundown of the Sony WF-1000XM6 key specifications:

The Sony WF-1000XM6 price in the US is set at $299.99 (approximately Rs 27,000) and the earbuds are available via the official Sony online store and authorised retail partners. 

With improved noise cancellation, High-Res audio support and better connectivity features, the Sony WF-1000XM6 seems to be a solid successor and could very well dominate the premium true wireless earbuds segment once again.
