- Better Call Use: The "hear your voice in a call" feature now runs in all sound control settings.
- General Upgrades: The updates also boost system safety and overall work better.
WH-1000XM6 Only Extras
The WH-1000XM6 headphones get two extra things in Version 2.0.2:
- Water Alert: The headphones can now tell if water hurt might be in the USB Type-C spot.
- More Voice Control: Voice control help has been put in for French, German, and Spanish.
