After a longer waiting than normal, Sony officially announced the WH-1000XM6 headphones for noise reduction, which are probably the best headphones of 2025.
Sony normally launches a new model every two years, but the 5-star XM5 model arrived back in May 2022. Nevertheless, waiting is over and fans will undoubtedly be enthusiastic for these new headphones of 1000x series, of which Sony says they are “the next evolution of noise improvement”. ”
As you would expect, Sony says that the XM6 also contains the most advanced noise reduction so far. This is partly due to the next generation of chipset and intelligent algorithms.
“The WH-1000XM6 can block distractions before they reach you,” said Sony.
The chip in question is that the catchingly mentioned HD-noise-suppression processor QN3 is only seven times faster than its predecessor and a total of 12 microphones can refine-1.5x more than the XM5.
It can do this in real time and Sony says that the optimum placement of the aforementioned microphones and the processor may better adapt the noise reduction to your fit and environment. The call quality has also been improved with AI (yes, it would be somewhere somewhere) beaming.

Special drivers and top specifications
Sony does not specify the size of the drivers in the press release, and only says that they are “specially designed” units with a “high stiffness of carbon fiber composite material dome and uniquely developed speech coil structure.”
The company promises “clarity that feels almost tangible” and has collaborated with a team of Grammy-winning and nominated engineers, including Randy Merrill and Chris Gehinger, to ensure that the sound quality is planning as the artists are planning.
Functions such as Audio-Roseless Audio with High Resolution, LDAC and DSEE Extreme were almost a given, but are now being confirmed.
New design and functions
The design of the WH-1000XM6 is again known but different. The headphones have a soft fit, wider headband with vegan leather, while the earpads have a stretchable material for a safe but comfortable fit.
An updated folding mechanism is the biggest change that a metal injection structure uses. The carrying bag now also has a magnetic closure.

A new function is mentioned on scenes -based listening, of which Sony says that Sensing Tech uses to automatically play music based on your activity, while the level of noise reduction for your environment is adjusted.
Other improvements include faster USB-C charges with just three minutes connected, so you get use for up to three hours.
XM6 sees a different price increase
The bad news? Well, it can’t all be just sailing, because the WH-1000XM6 sees the headphones rising a different price.
Sony has confirmed that the price is £ 400, which marks an increase of £ 20, and they are for sale this month, possibly immediately.
From day one you can choose between black, platinum silver and midnight blue colors.
