The WH-1000XM6 is Sony's flagship noise-canceling over-ear. A QN3 processor reads twelve microphones and retunes cancellation in real time, while newly developed 30mm carbon fiber composite drivers handle the music.
Two changes matter day to day: the folding hinges are back, so the headphones collapse into a smaller hard case than the XM5 allowed, and a three-minute charge buys about three hours of playback.
Battery runs 30 hours with cancellation on and 40 hours without. Best suited to commuters and frequent flyers who want quiet first and detail second.
