With the release of its highly anticipated WH-1000XM6 noise-canceling headphones, Sony taps Post Malone for its latest For the Music brand campaign. Posty and his team worked closely alongside Sony to launch a series of ads showcasing the premium audio technology and next-level listening experience that M6 headphones can offer.
Already considered one of the best headphones on the market, the WH-1000XM6 continues to improve from the previous WH-1000XM5 model. With each iteration, Sony manages to add new impressive features, develop better active noise-canceling technology and expand its hardware functionality of its top-notch flagship headphones.
In terms of design, the WH-1000XM6 looks pretty similar to previous models, but Sony added many subtle tweaks and improvements to make the headphones feel even lighter and more comfortable for longer wear times. This time around, the headphones feature a wider, asymmetrical headband and a folding design, similar to older models, to make them easier to store and travel with. The WH-1000XM6 headphones use a mix of physical buttons and touch panels on the outside of each ear cup for quick and easy touch controls and switching between ANC and ambient modes a breeze.
Under the hood, the Sony flagship device continues to deliver industry-leading sound quality and noise-canceling technology. For the M6, Sony developed new drivers, which it says delivers “richer details and clearer vocals.” It also included a 360 Spatial Sound upmixing feature for stereo content to essentially turn regular content into spatial audio. To enhance the listening experience even further, Sony enlisted mastering engineers from three recording studios to help fine-tune the sound profile of the 1000XM6.
For a premium price of $450, Sony’s latest flagship headphone continues to deliver impressive industry-leading audio experience worth its high price tag. Shop the WH-1000XM6 noise-canceling headphones below and check out the brand’s latest For the Music campaign featuring Post Malone.
