13 February 2026 at 05:00

Sony Electronics has expanded its WH-1000XM6 flagship wireless noise-cancelling headphones with a new Sand Pink color option, joining Black, Platinum Silver, and Midnight Blue variants at $459.99 USD and $599.99 CAD.

Originally launched in May 2025, the WH-1000XM6 represents Sony’s latest premium offering, featuring the HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3, which is seven times faster than previous generations. The advanced active noise cancellation system employs twelve microphones working with an Adaptive NC Optimizer that continuously analyzes environmental conditions and wearing patterns to adjust noise reduction across different settings.

Sony redesigned the driver unit specifically for enhanced audio performance, collaborating with mastering engineers from Sterling Sound, Battery Studios, and Coast Mastering for precise tuning. The headphones support LDAC high-resolution audio and include Edge-AI with DSEE Extreme upscaling technology.

Design improvements include a vegan leather headband, soft stretchable earpads, and a reinstated foldable mechanism that enables a more compact carrying case with magnetic buckle closure. Control options combine a touch panel with tactile buttons and a dedicated mute function.

Feature highlights include Auto Ambient Sound mode for environmental awareness, Game EQ optimized for shooters, and Cinema 360 Reality Audio Upmix for immersive film experiences. Battery performance reaches 40 hours with ANC disabled.

The WH-1000XM6 utilizes Sony’s Integrated Processor V2, which powers the Adaptive Noise Canceling Optimizer to maintain consistent performance regardless of environmental changes or how the headphones sit on the user’s head.

The Sand Pink model is immediately available through Sony’s direct channels, Amazon, Best Buy, and authorized retailers.

Sony has launched the WF-1000XM6 wireless earbuds, claiming a 25 percent noise cancellation improvement over the WF-1000XM5, particularly in mid-to-high frequencies encountered in everyday settings.

The earbuds deploy Sony’s HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3e and Integrated Processor V2. Each earbud now houses four microphones instead of three, paired with an Adaptive Noise Canceling Optimizer that continuously analyzes external noise and fit conditions. The system compensates for sound leakage from imperfect ear tip seals. New Noise Isolation Earbud Tips come in four sizes, and the earbuds are 11 percent slimmer, conforming to inner ear anatomy. A ventilation structure reduces internal noise from movement and chewing.

Audio processing uses dual processors with enhanced DAC amplification and 32-bit support. The driver unit combines a soft edge for bass response with a rigid dome for high-frequency extension. The package includes Hi-Res Audio Wireless, DSEE Extreme upscaling, 360 Reality Audio, 10-band EQ via the Sound Connect app, head tracking, and Background Music Effect. Sony consulted mastering engineers Randy Merrill, Chris Gehringer, Mike Piacentini, and Michael Romanowski for sound tuning.

Call quality relies on bone conduction sensors, dual microphones with AI beamforming, and AI-based noise reduction per earbud. Connectivity improvements include antennas 1.5 times larger than the previous generation. The earbuds support LE Audio and deliver up to eight hours of playback, extending to 24 hours with the charging case. Qi wireless charging is included.

The WF-1000XM6 launches at $329.99 USD ($429.99 CAD) in Black and Platinum Silver.
