Sony Middle East and Africa, alongside Modern Home, announced the release of the WH-1000XM6 wireless noise cancelling headphones – the latest edition of its award-winning 1000X series that set a new standard for premium audio and personal listening experiences.

Building on the legacy of the 1000X series, this latest model combines premium sound with the best noise cancelling in a seamless design to create an unparalleled audio solution for music lovers, fashionistas, travellers and professionals alike, a statement said.

The new WH-1000XM6 wireless noise cancelling headphones will be available soon at Modern Home in Al Maha Centre on Salwa Road and Fnac stores in Lagoona Mall, Doha Festival City, and Place Vendôme, in addition to other major retailers in town.

Powered by an advanced processor and an adaptive microphone system, noise cancelling is optimised in real-time on the WH-1000XM6. With processor speeds seven times faster than its predecessor, the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN3 fine-tunes 12 microphones, which is 1.5 times more than its precursor the WH-1000XM5, in real-time, delivering a dramatic leap in noise cancelling and sound quality.

Sony’s new Adaptive NC Optimiser delivers unmatched noise cancelling precision – adjusting to any form of external noise and air pressure. Developed in collaboration with world-renowned mastering engineers at three of the industry's top recording studios, Sterling Sound, Battery Studios and Coast Mastering the WH-1000XM6 refines every note for studio-level accuracy, delivering a superior music experience.

The collaborative team of Grammy-winning and Grammy-nominated engineers includes Randy Merrill (Sterling Sound), who has worked with the likes of Ed Sheeran; Chris Gehringer (Sterling Sound), known for his work with Rihanna and Lady Gaga; Mike Piacentini (Battery Studios), who has mastered tracks for Bob Dylan; and Michael Romanowski(Coast Mastering), whose portfolio includes Alicia Keys and the iconic Star Wars soundtracks for Episodes 4,5 and 6.

The familiar iconic design of the WH-1000X series has been taken to the next level with an elegant, soft-fit wider headband infused with vegan leather ensuring a pressure-free fit.

The asymmetrical headband design makes it easy to identify the left and right sides with just a glance. The earpads are designed for all-day wear thanks to stretchable material that provides a secure yet gentle fit to reduce pressure whilst blocking external noise.
