- Comfort Design: Designed with a wider headband, the headphones offer better comfort for extended listening sessions.
Design and Portability
Sony has made several design choices to enhance the portability and convenience of the WH-1000XM6 headphones.
- Foldable Design: A return to the foldable design of the Sony WH-1000XM4 and Sony WH-1000XM3 makes these headphones easier to pack and travel with.
