Smarter Noise Canceling with 12 Microphones
At the heart of the XM6 is the new HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3, which is seven times faster than the previous version. It powers a system of 12 microphones, 50% more than its predecessor, to deliver real-time adaptive noise canceling that adjusts to your surroundings and how you wear the headphones. The new Adaptive NC Optimizer also considers external noise and air pressure for even better performance.
Refined Sound, Built with the Pros
Sony teamed up with mastering engineers from top studios like Sterling Sound, Battery Studios, and Coast Mastering to tune the sound. Names like Randy Merrill (Taylor Swift, Adele) and Mike Piacentini (Depeche Mode, James Brown) contributed to creating a sound that reflects the emotion and detail intended by the artists.
