Sony Drops $330 Earbuds With AI Mics and Gemini Built In
The WF-1000XM6 brings AI-powered voice clarity, better noise cancellation, and hands-free Google assistant access.
Sony just unveiled its latest premium earbuds, and they're packed with AI tricks. The WF-1000XM6 hits shelves at $330, sporting a redesigned look and upgraded noise cancellation tech.
The headline feature? AI-powered beamforming microphones that promise dramatically clearer voice calls. No more sounding like you're talking from inside a wind tunnel.
Android users get an extra perk: hands-free Gemini integration. Talk to Google's AI assistant without touching your phone. The active noise cancellation also got a refresh, though Sony's keeping specific improvement metrics close to the chest.
At that price point, Sony's clearly gunning for the premium wireless earbud crown. Whether the AI mic upgrades justify the cost over competitors remains the real question for buyers.
