Overview
- Sony’s new flagship is now on sale in India in Black, Platinum Silver and Midnight Blue through Sony Center, Amazon, Croma and Reliance Digital starting September 29.
- The XM6 adds the QN3 processor—claimed seven times faster—plus a 12‑microphone array, Adaptive NC Optimizer, LE Audio/Auracast, LDAC and LC3, multipoint and Auto Switch.
- Design changes include the return of a folding hinge with inward‑swivelling earcups, a slimmer magnetic‑latch case and comfort tweaks such as a wider vegan‑leather headband and softer pads.
- Sony advertises up to 30 hours of battery life with ANC on and rapid charging that delivers several hours of playback from a short top‑up.
- Early reviews broadly praise stronger ANC and sound, but call quality remains contested, and the steep price arrives as older WH‑1000XM4 units see aggressive discounts around $198–$228.
