My favorite noise canceling headphones are finally getting a refresh, and I couldn’t be more stoked. Yep, the Sony WH-1000XM6 have officially landed, three long years after the WH-1000XM5 hit the market. I haven’t gotten my hands (or ears) on them just yet, and our friends over at SoundGuys more expertly take on sound quality (review link below), but I’m really excited about what’s new.
Finally foldable
First off, the WH-1000XM6 are foldable. That’s right, Sony finally listened. These new cans come with an upgraded metal hinge design that allows them to fold and fit into a smaller, magnetic case. That’s a welcome change from the large zip-up case that the WH-1000XM5 would fit in unfolded.
