It was updated on May 18 with more details about recent traffic headphones and more pricing details.
The new Sony noise cancellation headphones, WH-1000XM6, have just been revealed. It’s been about three years since the last couple, so you would think there would be many changes. You would have thought right. And the new release bonus is that the prices of two previous models have been reduced.

Design Sony Wh-1000XM6
At first glance, they look like the wh-1000XM5 headphones they replace (but not replaced, WH-1000XM5 remains in the area at a reduced price: it was $ 399.99, now is $ 349.99 from electronics.sony.com).
However, these headphones fold. The previous models allow you to turn the cups flat to pack, but you could not fold them to themselves. A new hinge allows you to fold them in any way, feels like. The hinge includes metal supports that look and feel durable.
The Sony Wh-1000XM6 headphones are just outside.
The thinnest details have also changed, such as the angle of the head. The corner of the hinge has changed to bring to give a cleaner look and bring the heads closer to your head. It is also designed to make it more comfortable – the head is also wider than before. The crease is useful when packing them away in the case or slide them into a backpack.

The case, incidentally, is also a new design, with a magnetic closure that replaces the zipper for the last time for extra convenience. Some users can still find the case on the big side, even if they are simpler to use (and pick up, as there is a handy label on top).

The new design also has more microphones: six on each headset instead of four on each side last time. This is designed to improve the quality of calls, with a pair of microphones looking back and on, to hear the background noise precisely before it spoils it. There is also a microphone in each cup of ear to hear noise there and deal with it.
The colors are the same as the original area for WH-1000XM5: Black, Silver and Midnight Blue. Smoky Pink was also added to XM5 over time as a top -of -the -line headphones.
Oh, another change: Speech in the conversation is no longer activated by the handset. Talk to chat is great: it disconnects what you hear, the second you hear you talk. But some people, the genre who sing together in a song or find themselves shouting in a movie about entertainment, for example, saw it start in action when it was not desirable. You will have guessed, dear reader, that I was one of the above people. The feature is still there, but now activated by the Sony app.
SONY WH-1000XM6 processor
Welcome to the new QN3 processor, which Sony claims to be seven times faster than the chip to the last model and delivers a leap forward to sound quality, with or without noise cancellation.
Sony’s noise cancellation has always been at the highest level of quality, so each uppick will be impressive. There is a new adaptive optimizer for noise cancellation to help with it and adjust the air pressure, which can be a discomfort in noises.
Sony Wh-1000XM6 Availability and Price
Headphones are available for purchase from today, Saturday, May 17 and cost 449.99 $ or 399 £ In the United Kingdom both prices are a touch higher than the initial release prices for the H-1000XM5-to-be-headed headphones, the price in the US increased by $ 50, while the UK price is £ 20 more. Note that both values are still significantly smaller than Bose Quietcomfort Ultra or Apple AirPods Max, costing $ 499 and $ 549 respectively.
By the way, the WH-1000XM4 The headphones are also available, for $ 299.99, a $ 50 decline. Sony usually maintains the latest generation model in the area, so I think the newly formed WH-1000XM5 will hang around and remembers being available in smoked pink, as well as the other three colors in the WH-1000XM6. However, there is no certainty that the H-1000XM4 headphones will remain. I think it is more likely that current stocks could be the last. I asked Sony to confirm this and will update this post when I hear back.
