Noise Cancelling

Overwhelming quiet for anyone, anywhere

The collaboration between microphone control powered by advanced processors and adaptive noise cancelling algorithms tailors cancellation to your surroundings. From commute to café, distractions are reduced so your listening stays clear and focused.

WF-1000XM6 delivers the world’s best noise-cancelling performance, with a further 25% reduction in noise compared with its predecessor, the WF-1000XM5.

A young man is sitting in an airport-like setting with a suitcase. He has a white earbud in his left ear and there are blurred figures around him.

Dual processors. Unrivalled noise control.

Dual processors work in concert. Integrated Processor V2 analyses ambient noise and earbud fit in real time, while HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN3 applies precise microphone control to minimise everyday sounds.

More precise. More quiet.

With four microphones on each side, you can control how much ambient sound comes through, from stronger noise cancelling to a more open, aware listen. Or reduce outside sound so it’s closer to just you and your music.

Adapts in real time

Intelligent by design. With Adaptive NC Optimiser, four microphones track ambient sound while the processor refines the profile in real time, helping maintain effective noise cancelling across different environments and wearing conditions.

Stay connected, stay aware

Dual feedforward microphones let the outside come through clearly and naturally. Hear conversations and cues around you without taking the earbuds out.

Stay in sync. Wherever you are.

Our Auto Ambient Sound mode is even better at adapting to your surroundings in real time, balancing music and external sound. Multiple microphones filter noise or let in what matters: announcements, conversations, or the world around you. Adjust settings automatically or fine-tune them manually in the Sound Connect app.

Shaped for true immersion

Refined to follow the ear’s natural curves, the ergonomic design settles in quickly and stays comfortable. A steadier seal and isolation eartips support stronger noise cancelling and clearer, more immersive sound throughout the day.
