Sony has launched its top-of-the-line wireless headphones, the WH 1000XM6, in India. The latest offering from the critically acclaimed 1000X series, WH 1000XM6 promises significant improvement in audio, noise cancellation and smart functionality. Priced at ₹39,990, the headphones are available at all Sony Centers, Amazon, Croma and Reliance Digital stores.
A New Leap in Noise Cancellation Technology
Sony’s new HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN3 is rolled out with the WH 1000XM6, seven times more powerful than the previous generation. This new chip is combined with twelve omnidirectional microphones to create in-real-time noise exclusion. You can commute, fly or work from a coffee shop, and the adaptive noise cancelling system continuously adapts to your environment.
Sony has also included an Auto Ambient Sound mode that cleverly adjusts external noise and audio playback. This is a perfect feature for users who need to remain sensitive to their surroundings without sacrificing on sound quality.
Studio Grade Sound with Custom EQ Profiles
Co-produced with Sterling Sound and Battery Studios’ mastering engineers, the WH 1000XM6 is engineered to provide studio level accuracy. The 30mm dynamic drivers provide a frequency response that spans 4Hz to 40,000Hz so that each note and detail is maintained.
Users can customize their listening with the Sony Sound Connect app, which includes a 10-band equalizer and music, cinema and gaming sound profiles. The headphones support a number of audio formats like SBC, AAC, LDAC and LC3, making them compatible with most devices.
Crystal Clear Calls with Beamforming Microphones
Sony enhanced call quality on the WH 1000XM6 via a beamforming microphone array and AI-powered voice isolation. That is, your voice will remain crisp even in crowded or noisy environments. There’s also a dedicated mute switch for convenient control during calls.
Design and Comfort for All Day Use
The WH 1000XM6 retains the sleek design language of the 1000X series but introduces subtle improvements. The headband is now wider and infused with vegan leather for a pressure free fit. The ear cups are stretchy and foldable, so they are convenient to carry and store.
Sony has also highlighted sustainability by utilizing 100 percent paper-based packaging materials for the WH 1000XM6. The step is an extension of the company’s goal to reduce environmental impact across its entire portfolio.
Battery Life and Connectivity Features
One of the highlights of the WH 1000XM6 is its remarkable battery life. Users can get up to 40 hours of playback when noise cancelling is disabled. ANC enabled, the headphones still provide approximately 30 hours of usage on a single charge.
Connectivity is without interruptions through Bluetooth 5.3 and compliance with Bluetooth LE Audio. The headphones are also Multi Point and Auto Switch enabled, which helps in switching between devices smoothly.
Colour Options and Availability
Sony launched the WH 1000XM6 in three elegant colour options—Black, Platinum Silver and Midnight Blue. The headphones are now available throughout India on Sony’s website, retail outlets and top e-commerce websites.
Final Verdict: A Deserving Heir to the WH 1000XM5
With faster noise cancellation, improved sound tuning and smarter features, the Sony WH 1000XM6 is a new benchmark for premium wireless sound. Whether you are an audiophile, a frequent traveler or a work-at-home professional, these headphones deliver an incredible balance of performance and comfort.
The launch of the WH 1000XM6 secures Sony’s position at the top in the noise cancelling headsets market and puts the brand in good stead against rival brands like Bose and Apple.
