Sony Debuts Foldable ‘M6’ Headphones With Better Noise Cancellation

Sony Group Corp. rolled out an upgraded version of its wireless over-ear headphones, bringing improved noise cancellation and a new design to an increasingly popular category.

The headphones, called the WH-1000XM6, are $450, $50 more than the prior WH-1000XM5 model that went on sale in 2022. To improve noise cancellation, the new model — which comes in black, silver and midnight blue — includes 12 microphones (up from eight on the prior version) and expands the use of artificial intelligence to continuously adapt to external factors such as changes in air pressure.
