Sound mastered. Noise cancelled.

Crafted with mastering-engineer insight and advanced noise-cancelling technology, the WF-1000XM6 delivers faithful, detailed sound.

Your music, anywhere. Without limits.

The refined ergonomic design keeps the fit natural for listening that lasts.

Overwhelming quiet for anyone, anywhere

Block out more of the world when you need to. Working together, HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN3e, Integrated Processor V2, Multi Noise Sensor technology, Adaptive NC Optimiser and the snug, sealing fit help maintain strong noise cancelling in a wide range of everyday environments.

Dual processors. Unrivalled noise control.

Dual processors work in concert. Integrated Processor V2 analyses ambient noise and earbud fit in real time, while HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN3 applies precise microphone control to minimise everyday sounds.

More precise. More quiet.

With four microphones on each side, you can control how much ambient sound comes through, from stronger noise cancelling to a more open, aware listen. Or reduce outside sound so it’s closer to just you and your music.

Adapts in real time

Intelligent by design. With Adaptive NC Optimiser, four microphones track ambient sound while the processor refines the profile in real time, helping maintain effective noise cancelling across different environments and wearing conditions.

Stay connected, stay aware

Dual feedforward microphones let the outside come through clearly and naturally. Hear conversations and cues around you without taking the earbuds out.

Stay in sync. Wherever you are.

Our Auto Ambient Sound mode is even better at adapting to your surroundings in real time, balancing music and external sound. Multiple microphones filter noise or let in what matters: announcements, conversations, or the world around you. Adjust settings automatically or fine-tune them manually in the Sound Connect app.

Shaped for true immersion

Refined to follow the ear’s natural curves, the ergonomic design settles in quickly and stays comfortable. A steadier seal and isolation eartips support stronger noise cancelling and clearer, more immersive sound throughout the day.

Wind noise-reduction structure

Internal cavity is strategically designed to cancel incoming wind noise, effectively minimising its occurrence to the greatest extent possible.

Sound quality, at its best

Hear more of the music you love. The original driver* and advanced processing reveal fine textures and space, while careful sound tuning keeps everything balanced wherever you listen.

Our best call quality ever

Two microphones work with a bone conduction sensor to detect your voice while AI beamforming steers pickup and reduces ambient noise. The person on the other end hears you, not your surroundings.

Your voice, accurately captured

A new dual-microphone for beamforming layout on each ear directs pickup toward your mouth, capturing speech with greater focus. Calls sound clearer, even in lively places.

Optimised voice pickup
