When you think of good noise cancelling headphones, Sony usually comes to mind. Between its over-ear WH and in-ear WF range, Sony has some of the best shut-out-the-world headphones going around. With the new WF-1000XM6, Sony reckons its wireless earbuds block out even more noise.
Compared to last year’s WF-1000XM5 model, Sony estimates that the XM6 cancels out 25 per cent more sound. The brand specifically calls out the mid-to-high frequencies as the main areas of improvement.
This noise cancelling improvement comes off the back of the WF-1000XM6’s “QN3e” processor, which is dedicated to controlling the earbuds’ microphones responsible for noise cancellation. Plus, the buds now have four microphones, gaining one extra from the XM5.
When Alice Clarke reviewed the WF-1000XM5, she identified comfort as one of its trickier aspects. Four earbud tips come with the XM6, designed to provide a comfortable fit that aids the noise cancellation.
Another benefit to comfort comes from a slimmer design. Sony advertises the WF-1000XM6 as having an 11 per cent slimmer body than the XM5. Additionally, it’s designed to better curve with the wearer’s ear, improving the fit quality.
On top of the noise-blocking technology, the Sony WF-1000XM6 also gains some audio quality improvements. It has a redesigned driver, while the updated processor supports 32-bit audio processing, up from the XM5’s 24-bit audio.
Like the XM5, the XM6 lasts up to eight hours of listening time. With the included charging case, the buds last up to 24 hours before you need to plug in.
Available later this month in Australia, the WF-1000XM6 costs $499.95, the same as its predecessor. It comes in two colours: Black and Platinum Silver. Alongside the new in-ear buds, Sony also confirmed that the over-ear WH-1000XM6 headphones will be available in Sand Pink later this month.
