WH-1000XM6: Sony’s New Mainstream Flagship
The Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones introduce Sony’s new HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN3, which the company says is seven times faster than the previous generation processor used in the WH-1000XM5. The headphones now use 12 microphones for more precise adaptive noise cancellation and clearer voice calls.
Sony also brought back the foldable design, added upgraded hinge durability, and improved support for Bluetooth LE Audio and LDAC high-resolution streaming. Battery life is rated at up to 30 hours with active noise cancellation enabled.
The WH-1000XM6 is currently available in multiple colors including Black, Midnight Blue, Platinum Silver, Sand Pink, and Sandstone.
Sony “1000X The Collexion” Targets Premium Buyers
Alongside the XM6, Sony also introduced the luxury-focused “1000X The Collexion” headphones to celebrate 10 years of the 1000X series. The model features upgraded materials, a redesigned premium look, and a new V3 processor combined with Sony’s QN3 chip.
Reports suggest the Collexion headphones focus more on sound refinement and luxury aesthetics rather than purely maximizing noise cancellation performance. The premium headset is priced significantly above the standard WH-1000XM6 lineup.
Pricing and Availability
In India, the Sony WH-1000XM6 launched at a starting price of around ?39,990 and is available through Sony stores, Amazon, and major retail partners.
Sony has not yet confirmed wider India availability details for the premium “1000X The Collexion” edition, though global rollout has already started in select markets.
