How do the WH-1000XM6 reduce background noise?

Adaptive algorithms also adjust cancellation based on things like air pressure and whether you’re wearing glasses or a hat, maintaining effective isolation in varied conditions.

• HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN3 for real-time noise reduction
• 12-microphone system to detect and counteract external sounds
• Adaptive NC Optimizer that adapts to environment and wearing style
