Technology glossary

GMAP gaming audio profile

A Bluetooth LE Audio profile for low-latency gaming. Headphone support alone is insufficient.

The Sony WH-1000XM6 guide requires both a compatible phone and a GMAP-capable game to use this profile.

LE Audio uses LC3. Select Low latency mode in Sound Connect; the profile name does not guarantee a fixed latency for every phone or game.

Sony WF-1000XM6

WF-1000XM6 wireless earbuds reduce outside sound with ANC and foam tips. They can stay connected to two devices. Battery life changes considerably with the codec: the LDAC claim with ANC enabled is shorter than the eight-hour AAC figure.

Headphones · 2025

Sony WH-1000XM6

Foldable over-ear headphones with Bluetooth and a 3.5 mm wired connection. Active noise cancellation reduces surrounding sound, particularly low frequencies. USB-C is for charging; USB audio is not supported.
