    Pretty big upgrade from the M5. For starters and my favorite is the color! Such an awesome metallic blue. The sound quality and noise cancellation are a major upgrade as well

    Moving to the XM6 from Bose QC35. The sound quality is way superior and the noise cancelling is absolutely amazing. Flew with the XM6 and it was honestly very good. They cancel out all the constant background noises but also human chatter. The ambient sound mode is exceptional as well! Walked around the airport with the headphones on in the ambient mode and could hear all the chatter around me very very clearly.

      Hi ChrisP,

      We are thrilled to hear you find the WH-1000XM6 headphones great and very comfortable! If you're looking for a boost in volume, please check the Sony Headphones Connect app to ensure the volume limiter is off. Additionally, confirm that the volume setting on your source device (phone, tablet, etc.) is maximized, as some apps or operating systems have their own volume caps. Thanks for choosing Sony.

    Christmas present. Daughter said sound was amazing and the ability to adjust overall sound was great. She like how the headphone controls work and the seamless integration with all her devices. Downside - because of how the headphones fold , they would not stay “square” on her head. They had a tendency to “twist” while she was wearing them which she found very annoying. Eventually returned & got Bose QV Ultra 2nd Fen.

      Hi PaulG,

      We appreciate the specific details regarding the fit and the "twisting" she experienced due to the folding mechanism. Comfort and stability are top priorities for us, and feedback like this is incredibly valuable as we look toward future designs.

      Thank you for giving Sony a try!

    Step up from the XM5s

    To be honest, I thought I was done with Sony after the XM5s. They let me down in a lot of ways (sound quality and the hinge for starters). Then I started seeing leaks for the XM6 and I was like “okay one last try”. I’m very glad I did. These are bar none the best cans I’ve owned. I owned AirPods Max and sold them, had B&W Px7 and gave them away for poor noise cancelling. The XM6 finally achieved everything I was looking for in over-ear headphones

      Hello Hhamanot,

      Thank you for such an honest and powerful review of the WH-1000XM6 headphones!

      We're incredibly grateful you decided to give Sony one more try after your experience with the XM5s. Hearing that the XM6s are "bar none the best cans you've owned"—even after owning and comparing them to premium competitors—truly means a lot to us.

      It's fantastic to know that the XM6 finally achieved everything you were looking for in over-ear headphones. We're thrilled to have earned back your trust and delivered an exceptional listening experience!

    [Employee of bestbuy] These are my first high end over the ear headphones and i am so pleased with them! I need to figure out the touch control shortkeys became if my shoulder hits the ourside cup it stops, fwds, or rewinds what im listening to. So thats kind of annoying. But i never read the instructions until I dont figuring things out 'naturally'. Noise cancellation is top notch.

    Excellent sound quality and interface, improvement over the build of the xm5 as a physical structure. App interface with the phone is a little bit more laggy than the previous iteration, this might get fixed with software updates, unclear.

      Hi NMoon,

      We are immensely pleased to hear that you are enjoying the excellent sound quality and the refined physical build of the new WH-1000XM6!

      Regarding the app performance you mentioned, we want to ensure your interface experience is as smooth as your listening. To resolve the lag you're seeing, we recommend clearing the cache within your phone's app settings. If that doesn't do the trick, a fresh start by uninstalling and then reinstalling the Sony | Headphones Connect app often resolves these types of software hiccups. This should help the app's responsiveness match the premium performance of the headphones themselves.

      Thank you for making Sony part of your daily listening.
