Sony WF-1000XM6 Earbuds Debut With AI Assistant and Stronger Noise Cancellation

Preorders in Mexico open at 4,499 pesos this week as Sony touts a 25% improvement in noise reduction that still awaits independent testing.

Overview

  • Sony says the WF-1000XM6 use new NC HD QN3e and V2 processors and a larger microphone and sensor array to deliver its best noise-cancelling performance to date.
  • The earbuds add Google’s Gemini for hands-free assistant features and support Bluetooth LE Audio for ultra‑low latency connectivity.
  • Call clarity is upgraded with multiple microphones per ear, bone‑conduction sensors, and an AI beamforming algorithm designed to isolate speech in noisy environments.
  • A refined design is 11% thinner with internal ventilation for comfort, while battery life is rated at up to 8 hours per charge and 24 hours with the Qi‑compatible case.
  • In Mexico, the earbuds are listed at 4,499 pesos in an online preorder from February 12–18, with retail availability from February 19 at stores such as Perisur and Satélite.
