Leaked Sony WH-1000XM6 Images Hint At Major Upgrades Over XM5 Model

The XM6 wireless noise-cancelling headphones are launching this week.

Sony’s about to drop their new flagship noise-cancelling headphones, the WH-1000XM6, on 15 May, but details are already leaking out.

The XM6 is expected to pack some big upgrades, including Sony’s new QN3 processor—which should mean better sound and even stronger noise cancellation.

It looks like the XM6 will fold up more neatly for travel, and hopefully, it’ll be sturdier than the XM5’s hinge, which has had a bunch of complaints about breaking (there’s a whole Reddit thread full of people talking about it).
