The third gen were better
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wanted to upgrade from my third gen headphones but the noise canceling was worse on these pair. The earcups were a bit smaller as well which made it less comfortable. The audio was about the same though which is still excellent for listening to music.

Subpar Experience
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What a joke! I was super disappointed with the sound of these. I still own and emphatically use the Mx3's. The 6's are pathetic compared to the sound and build quality of the former headphones. I really wanted to like the 6's, but if you have a discriminate taste and want your music to sound a certain way, these may not be the ones for you. I had other people test the 6's to see if it was just me and they agreed the 3's and 4's are better. Even after messing with the EQ the 6th did not compare. Unless you just want something to listen to music with, I would skip this version.

Excellent sound cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My spouse loves it. Hopefully the headphones can stay intact this time. I had purchased the M3 in 2017 and the headband had major issues that Sony did not care to acknowledge. One can only hope they have grown to realize that customers are not intentionally breaking their headbands. This is why I support Bestbuy's electronic warranties.
