• A redesigned metal folding hinge allows both flat and compact folding, addressing durability concerns from the XM5 model.
• New features include Scene-based Listening for activity-aware audio adjustments and the ability to charge while in use wirelessly.
• Spatial audio support is expanded with '360 Reality Audio Upmix for Cinema' for stereo sources, though head tracking remains Android-exclusive.
