The noise cancelling technology in the WI-1000XM2 is the most advanced ever in wireless neckband headphones, thanks to the power of our HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1. So you can lose yourself completely in your music.
Dual Noise Sensor Technology
Dual microphones – one feed-forward and one feed-back – on the surface of the headphones catch more of the ambient sounds of your surroundings, whether it’s in-flight noise, city traffic or office chatter.
HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1
Having caught the ambient sound, the dedicated HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1 gets to work. It not only cancels significantly more noise across almost all frequencies but also uses less power.
Atmospheric Pressure Optimising
Our noise cancelling is made to fly with Atmospheric Pressure Optimising. Enjoy in-flight entertainment with noise cancelling optimised for high altitude.
Packed with advanced audio technology, the WI-1000XM2 wireless noise cancelling headphones not only deliver noise-free listening but breathtaking sound quality.
HD Hybrid Driver System
Sound is optimised across the frequencies with the HD Hybrid Driver System. The 9mm dynamic driver, custom-designed for the WI-1000XM2, provides deep bass and clear mids, while the matched Balanced Armature driver reproduces delicate, natural high tones.
HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1
The multi-talented HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1 combines Digital Noise Cancelling, 32bit Audio Signal Processing, and a Digital-to-Analog converter with headphone amplifier. The result? Stunningly clear sound.
High-Resolution Audio
The WI-1000XM2 supports High-Resolution Audio and High-Resolution Audio Wireless, thanks to LDAC™, our industry-adopted audio coding technology. LDAC transmits approximately three times more data than conventional Bluetooth® audio for exceptional High-Resolution Audio quality.
For everyday listening, the Digital Sound Enhancement Engine HX (DSEE HX™) upscales compressed digital music files, bringing them closer to the quality of High-Resolution Audio.
Designed to fit securely in the ear and stay there comfortably, these lightweight headphones with flexible silicon neckband are made for all-day wearing, wherever you go, whatever you do. Easily store them in a bag or case while travelling.
Angled earphone design
With an angled shape, the earphones sit deeper and more securely in the ear for a stable, comfortable fit. Even when walking around, they won’t slip out unexpectedly.
No need to worry about battery life on the go. With up to 10 hours of battery life, the music just keeps on playing.
If your headphones are running low on power, a 10-minute quick charge gives you up to 80 minutes of play time.
Powered by intelligent technology, WI-1000XM2 neckband noise cancelling headphones enhance your listening experience with a range of smart features.
