Delivering the artist’s intent unchanged

The sound the artist approves should reach the listener unchanged—that’s what a consumer product must ensure. You should hear detail at low volumes and never feel fatigued at high volumes. Smooth, non-irritating sound is essential. The WF-1000XM6 earbuds are really easy to listen to. I find that I can listen to the same songs multiple times without getting bored or tired. Sony truly considers both consumer and professional needs—and designs products that meet both.

The power of co-creation with four mastering engineers

Sony’s partnership with four mastering engineers brings true studio sound to your earbuds. By working directly in the engineers’ studios, Sony captures the nuances and emotion of every track, ensuring the WF-1000XM6 delivers a sound experience that’s remarkably close to being in the studio—so you can feel the passion behind every song, anywhere you go.

Studio-level sound in a small form

The WF-1000XM6 earbuds pack studio-quality sound into a compact design. Subtle adjustments, like micro-EQ tweaks, make a big difference in how music feels. We listen to feedback from real users and work closely with our Tokyo design team, resulting in continuous improvements and rewarding evolution.

Beyond technology, into the music

The most satisfying listening happens when the technology fades away and you’re simply immersed in the music. Great earbuds let the art take center stage, guiding you straight into the heart of the music.

Engineered for superior sound

A refined, original driver brings lifelike depth to your music. Smooth, full-bodied lows blend seamlessly with clear highs, creating authentic, high-resolution sound.

Clarity, elevated

Powered by the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN3e—3x faster than QN1 in WF-1000XM5— with an improved DAC and amplifier, the WF-1000XM6 earbuds deliver cleaner, richer sound that reveals every nuance—audio that feels true to the moment.

Enjoy High-Resolution Audio without wires

Thanks to LDAC, Sony’s industry-adopted audio coding technology, the WF-1000XM6 supports High-Resolution Audio Wireless. LDAC transmits about three times more data than standard Bluetooth® audio5, giving you exceptional wireless sound quality.

Real-time restoration of all your compressed files

Using Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence), DSEE Extreme™ upscales compressed digital music files in real time. It recognizes instrumentation, genres, and individual elements of each song, restoring high-range sound lost in compression.

Fine-tune your entertainment experience

With the Sony | Sound Connect app, it’s easy to personalize your sound. Compare settings, tweak the details, and find the perfect balance for every song, scene, or game session.

A new sound experience for AR gaming

If you’re looking for new entertainment options beyond music and movies, the WH-1000XM6 headphones use new sensors and spatial sound technology to deliver immersive sound for Augmented Reality games like "Ingress" from Niantic.

When playing "Ingress" with the WH-1000XM6 headphones, sensor and spatial sound technologies deliver a new experience: using head tracking, the sound is conveyed from different directions to line up perfectly with the action on the screen.

Head tracking function

Head tracking automatically adjusts sound fields to match your movements, keeping sounds precisely aligned with your earbuds—even as you move. This creates a truly engaging listening experience when paired with compatible devices and services.

Conventional use

With conventional earbuds, when your head moves, the sound moves with the earbuds. This disconnects the sound from its position in space, impairing the 3D effect and presence.

With head-tracking capability

With head tracking, when you move your head, the sound field retains its original position in 3D space, for a realistic viewing and listening experience.

Experience head tracking for yourself

Experience the immersive power of head tracking for yourself with this simulation—just put on headphones and watch the video to see how it makes your listening more realistic.

Certified earbuds for a personalized experience

With 360 Reality Audio Certified earbuds and the Sony | Sound Connect app, you can optimize your experience by analyzing your ear shape for the ultimate immersive music experience. Advanced algorithms enhance sound space, distance, and height, drawing you deeper into the music.

A personal cinematic experience with BRAVIA

Enjoy Dolby Atmos® and 360 Spatial Sound that adapts to your ears with BRAVIA™ and these earbuds for a thrilling home theater experience.

360 Spatial Sound Personalizer

With the Sony | 360 Spatial Sound Personalizer app, you’ll get a sound experience tailored just for you. The app analyzes your ear shape, allowing these earbuds to create your own personal spatial sound field when paired with recent BRAVIA TVs.

Sony’s best-ever call quality

Enjoy crystal-clear conversations wherever you are. The AI beamforming noise reduction algorithm focuses on your voice and reduces background noise for clearer calls—even in busy places. You can also double tap the earbuds to mute your microphone during calls using the app settings.

Your voice, accurately captured

A new dual-microphone beamforming layout on each earbud directs pickup toward your mouth, capturing your speech with greater focus. Your calls sound clearer, even in lively environments.

Optimized voice pickup

By sensing your voice directly and intelligently directing the microphones, the bone conduction sensor ensures your voice is picked up accurately.

Intelligent noise reduction

The AI-optimized noise reduction algorithm suppresses background sounds while isolating your voice. Trained on a variety of sources, including open earbud datasets, it enhances beamforming precision and voice pickup accuracy. Two microphones, a bone conduction sensor, and Precise Voice Pickup Technology work together to make sure every word is heard clearly—even in noisy settings.

Wind-noise-free calling

Refined microphone placement and structure minimize wind interference, reducing noise on your calls and ensuring a clearer, more comfortable listening experience.

Refined shape. Naturally comfortable.

The earbud shape follows the natural contours of your ear for a light, secure fit. Pressure points are minimized, making long listening sessions feel effortless.

Evolved ergonomic design. Exceptional fit.

Every contour is thoughtfully crafted for the ideal shape. The evolved ergonomic housing provides a stable, natural fit that lasts.

Eases inner noise

A smarter airflow path reduces occlusion, so your own voice and movements sound more natural. It also helps the fit feel lighter for longer listening.

Designed for feeling

A premium matte texture elevates the look and feel, offering a gentle grip for easy repositioning and all-day comfort.

Sophisticated, matte charging case

A streamlined silhouette and smooth surface give the charging case a modern, minimalist look.

Find your ideal fit

A balanced, ear-hugging form provides a consistent fit across sizes.

Stable, smooth. Always connected.

Enjoy consistent connectivity with fewer dropouts and smoother playback. Move freely while your audio stays locked in.

Stronger signal, even in tough spots

A redesigned antenna on the top of the earbud and an advanced connection algorithm keep your Bluetooth link stable, so music and calls are less likely to drop out—even in challenging environments.

Multipoint Connection

For total convenience, your headphones can pair with two Bluetooth® devices at once, automatically switching when a call comes in or playback starts on either device.

Easy pairing with your computer

Swift Pair makes it quick and easy to pair your headphones with your Windows 11 or Windows 10 laptop, desktop PC or tablet. Pop-up pairing guidance appears on nearby Windows 11 or Windows 10 devices when pairing mode is selected.
