Sony announces WH-1000XM6 wireless noise-canceling headphones | Infinium-tech

Sony has announced the WH-1000xm6, the latest flagship in the popular range of the company’s wireless noise headphone. The XM6 improves almost every way on its predecessors, but also comes at a higher price.

Starting with audio quality, Sony claims to improve the clarity and solution of sound. The company has listed the help of several professional studios engineers – such as Randy Merryl and Sterling Sound’s Chris Jennninger, Mike Piantini of Battery Studio, and Michael Romanowski of Coast Mastering – to tune the audio on the new headphone. The-1000xm6 is called “studio-level accuracy”, from which you hear your music “as it was to happen”, but we have previously seen those claims and they rarely hold for consumer-grade products.

The headphone has a 30 mm driver with high rigid carbon fiber overall material dome and a new voice coil structure. Digital to Analog conversion is a new advanced look-forward noise shaper that allows it to predict and optimization of volume noise, responding quickly to sudden sound change. In terms of Codecs, you get SBC, AAC, LDAC, and LC3 with Sony’s DSEE Extreme Upskling algorithm and a 360 reality audio feature with a new upmix for cinema mode that converts stereo content into spatial sound.

Active noise cancellation has also been improved. The XM6 has 12 microphones with a new QN3 HD noise canceled processor, which is called 7x fast compared to QN1 on XM5. This allows the new adaptive NC optimizer to adapt more quickly and effectively for ambient noise changes. The driver design has also been tuned to improve the noise cancellation performance. Auto environmental sound mode has also improved compared to the previous model.

Sony also claims improvement in call quality performance, thanks to an A-assisted beamphoring microphone that distinguishes your voice better than the background noise.

Finally, XM6 also has an updated design. The headband is wider to reduce pressure on your head and facilitates an odd design to make it easier to identify the left and right sides. Kaj has now increased articulation on XM5, so earcips can now fold, old 1000x models can also do something. The XM6 comes in three colors – black, platinum silver, and midnight blue – all with matte finish. The headphones come with a new carry case with a magnetic latch.

The-1000xm6 is priced at $ 450, which is $ 50 more than the XM5, which was $ 50 more than the XM4. However, those old models are now down in price and if the new model is not fascinated enough to spend so much, you can now pick up XM5 and XM4 for $ 350 for $ 350.
