Sony WH-1000XM6: More like the XM4!

Details come courtesy of Amazon Spain this time!

Sony’s upcoming high-end headphones appeared to have been spotted on an Amazon listing moments before it was taken down again. Still, it was enough for people to glimpse some new details about the new headphones, the Sony WH-1000XM6.

For one, it appears to be much closer to the WH-1000XM4 compared to its direct predecessor. The foldable design is back which is definitely great news to anyone who preferred the more practical form factor when bringing it with them.

Improved noise reduction and transparency modes?

In addition to its return to a foldable design, there were also a number of notable features on the product listing. For one, it’s apparently retaining the 30mm transducers of the Sony WH-1000XM5 but it’s going with a new QN3 chip. The number of microphones have also gone up from 8 on the XM5 to 12 on the XM6.

These additional microphones definitely help in managing ambient noise. It should help the Auto NC Optimizer so we could be looking at improved noise reduction and transparency modes for this new model.

The listing also mentions the headphones also come with up to 30 hours of battery life. It isn’t specified if this is with the active noise cancellation feature, which can add to battery consumption. Sony’s page also mentioned being able to get 3 hours from a quick 3-minute charge.

The page also didn’t mention any Bluetooth codec so we’re not expecting it to support Bluetooth LE Audio. Of course, this isn’t 100% confirmed yet and we’ll have to wait until we get the full official spec sheet in order to know for sure.
