Sony has officially unveiled the much-anticipated Sony XM6 Noise Cancelling Headphones, the follow-up to the popular XM5s. This time, there’s a strong focus on gaming, thanks to a new Gaming EQ mode developed with Sony’s INZONE team.
Australian price and release date
The XM6 headphones will launch in Australia on June 16 and are priced at $699.95 AUD. They’re available for pre-order now in three color options:
- Black – $699 AUD
- Platinum Silver – $699 AUD
- Midnight Blue – $699 AUD
What’s new in the Sony XM6
The Sony XM6 features major upgrades, including:
- 30-hour battery life
- 3 minutes of charging gives 3 hours of use
- 12-microphone adaptive noise cancelling for better audio isolation
- QN3 processor for clearer voice calls
- 360 Reality Audio mode and custom EQ settings for both gaming and mobile entertainment
The tuning was done with input from engineers who’ve worked with artists like Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and Bob Dylan, adding studio-level quality to your everyday listening.
Sleek, foldable design
The XM6 also gets a design refresh. The headphones now fold down easily and come with a thinner, magnetic folding case, perfect for travel or slipping into an airplane seat pocket.
With better performance, smarter design, and gamer-friendly features, the XM6 looks to set a new benchmark for premium headphones in 2025.
