Product information
Savour your music wherever you are with the Sony WH-1000XM6. The QN3 Processor is in charge of cancelling noise around you, so you can get lost in the sound of your music, podcast, or a TV show. Thanks to 30 mm drivers and 360 Upmix for Cinema, everything will sound its best – with rumbly lows, clear vocals and bright highs.

Switch between your iPhone and Android, or PC and Mac with multipoint Bluetooth connection that lets you connect two devices at the same time.
