A stunning collaboration with 4 mastering engineers
Sony took a revolutionary approach and collaborated with 4 mastering engineers to achieve true studio-quality sound in its in-ear headphones. Working in its own studios, Sony captures the original sound and emotion and brings these nuances directly into product development. A tribute to the months of creative work poured into each track, the WF-1000XM6 earbuds deliver a sensual and emotionally charged sound that's astonishingly close to studio quality.
Studio-Grade Sound in a Compact Form Factor
The WF-1000XM6 earbuds deliver a sound that's astonishingly close to studio quality in an incredibly compact design. I always make sure the emotional content of a track I experience in the studio is preserved when listening to it through earbuds. Often, even a 1 dB frequency change can make a difference. In fact, it's the micro-EQ adjustments, not major design changes, that actually improve the final sound. Changes based on feedback from US users are incorporated into the design in Tokyo, after which we unveil an updated next-generation prototype. Witnessing this evolution is incredibly rewarding.

A New Audio Experience for AR Games
Don't limit your entertainment to just music and videos: new sensors and Spatial Sound technology in the WF-1000XM6 headphones create immersive audio in AR games like Niantic's Ingress. Experience Ingress in a whole new way thanks to the sensors and Spatial Sound technology in the WF-1000XM6 headphones: using head tracking technology, sound is transmitted from multiple directions and perfectly adapts to the on-screen action.
Head Tracking
Head Tracking delivers realistic sound with a variety of nuances by automatically adjusting sound fields to compensate for head movements. When paired with compatible devices and services, the sound adapts to your movements, creating a completely immersive listening experience.
With conventional headphones, as you move your head, the sound moves with the headphones. This causes the sound to lose its spatial position, which negatively impacts the sense of presence and 3D effects. Head tracking maintains the original position of the sound field in 3D space even as you move your head, providing a realistic viewing and listening experience.
Certified headphones for optimal sound
Using 360 Reality Audio technology and the Sony | Sound Connect app, certified headphones analyze your ear shape and optimize sound for unrivaled musical immersion. An advanced personal optimization algorithm delivers a more intense sense of sound space, distance, and height, allowing you to become even more immersed in the musical atmosphere.
Best call quality
Two microphones, along with a bone conduction sensor, detect your voice, while AI-powered beamforming technology controls sound capture and reduces ambient noise. The person on the other end hears you, not the noise around you.
Your voice, and the person on the other end, will sound clear. The noise-canceling algorithm with AI-powered beamforming technology focuses on your voice and helps reduce ambient noise, providing clearer calls even in busy environments. In the app settings, you can mute the microphone during calls by double-tapping the earbuds.
Accurate Voice Transmission
The new dual-microphone beamforming system on each earbud captures sound from the direction of your mouth, capturing speech more clearly. Calls will be clearer, even in busy environments. The bone conduction sensor captures your speech directly and intelligently directs the microphones accordingly.
Intelligent Noise Cancellation
The AI-optimized noise cancellation algorithm suppresses background sounds while isolating your voice. Trained on a variety of sources, including open datasets2, it improves beamforming and speech capture accuracy. With dual microphones, a bone conduction sensor, and precision speech capture technology, you'll hear every word clearly, even in noisy environments.
