    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.

    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.

    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.

    I had hoped for more from Sony's latest offerings. They leave much to be desired. As for my preferences, I lean towards the competition this year. "I had hoped for more from Sony's latest offerings. They leave much to be desired. As for my preferences, I lean towards the competition this year.
