Overview

Noise-cancelling over-ear headphones

Sony's flagship noise-cancelling headphones, replacing the WH-1000XM5 with stronger noise cancellation, a folding design and more even sound.

  • Stronger noise cancellation

    Twelve microphones, four more than the WH-1000XM5, feed the QN3 processor, which adjusts noise cancelling to surrounding noise and air pressure. It blocks more background noise than the XM5.

  • Folding design

    Unlike the WH-1000XM5's, the ear cups fold inward, on metal-reinforced hinges, so the case is smaller. It closes with magnets instead of a zip.

  • More balanced sound

    The tuning is more even than the WH-1000XM5's, which boosts bass and treble more. The Sound Connect app has a 10-band EQ.

Battery

Up to 30 hours with noise cancelling on, or 40 hours with it off. A 3-minute charge from a USB PD charger gives up to 3 hours.

Wired listening

A 3.5 mm cable is included. The USB-C port charges but does not carry audio.
