]]> Sony’s WH-1000XM6 improves on already-class-leading noise cancellation by adding Integrated Processor V2 — a chip that analyses ambient sound 700 times per second and adjusts ANC parameters in real time, rather than the fixed profiles of its predecessor. The result in a busy coffee shop or on a commuter flight is a quieter baseline noise floor with fewer audible artefacts when someone walks past or a door slams nearby. It’s not a small improvement.

Sound quality continues the warm, controlled tuning that Sony’s XM line has been known for: bass that extends deeply without becoming muddy, mids that don’t recede when noise cancellation activates, and highs that are smooth without being rolled off. LDAC support at 96 kHz/24-bit resolves the detail in high-resolution files on Android. Speak-to-Chat automatically pauses playback when you start talking — a feature that sounds minor but becomes indispensable quickly.

Thirty hours of battery life with ANC on (40 without) means a transatlantic flight and a full work day before you need a cable. The folding design is compact for a full-size over-ear headphone. USB-C quick charge delivers 3 hours of playback from a 3-minute charge. This is the headphone we recommend to most people most of the time.
