Sony has presented the WF-1000XM6, the successors to their high-end wireless earbuds. Priced at 330 dollars, they aim to compete with the market's leading models like the Bose QuietComfort Ultra or the AirPods Pro. The company announces improvements in active noise cancellation, sound quality, and microphones for calls.
Technical advances: new chip and LDAC support 🔬
The model incorporates a new chip to process noise cancellation, promising more effective performance. The microphones have been updated for better voice isolation in calls. A technical advantage is support for the LDAC codec, which allows high-resolution audio transmission. The declared battery life with ANC enabled remains at 8 hours per charge.
The price also has noise cancellation... for your wallet 💸
With a cost 30 dollars higher than the previous model, the XM6 apply a very specific noise cancellation: that of the sound of coins in your pocket. It's a considerate gesture, so the jingle doesn't distract you while listening to high-resolution music. Thus, the immersion experience is complete, both audibly and financially.
