Great pair of headphones to invest in.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great pair of headphones. Light weight, easy on the head grip, and customizable L/R tap settings. Noise canceling is 10/10, although these are my first pair of NC headphones. I work as a fisheries technician and I wore these during an electrofishing trip, which entails netting fish off a boat with a loud generator. Could barely hear the generator. The app, which is optional, is very helpful as well. Long battery life.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your fantastic review, DerrickL!
We are thrilled to hear that you consider the WH-1000XM6 a great pair of headphones! It’s wonderful that you appreciate the comfortable design elements, like the lightweight feel and easy head grip, as well as the customizable L/R tap settings.
We are especially delighted to hear about your experience as a fisheries technician. Putting the Noise Cancelling to the test during an electrofishing trip against a loud generator, and finding the performance to be 10/10—barely hearing the noise—is a powerful validation of our technology!
We are also glad you found the companion app helpful and that you are benefiting from the long battery life.
Thank you again for choosing Sony for your demanding audio needs!
Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team

GREATEST NOISE-CANCELING HEADPHONES EVER!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can't ask for better noise-canceling headphones! The noise-canceling is such art, and even the built-in 360 Cinematic audio is actually off the hook! I highly recommend this to people that are sensitive to noises, and to help those to relax!

Premium sound and Comfort
|Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony XM6 headphones deliver amazing sound with deep bass, crisp highs, and excellent noise cancellation. They’re extremely comfortable for long use, and the battery life easily lasts all day. The app customization is great, and call quality is clear. These are the second set of Sony XM6 headphones I have one for myself and one as gift. Overall, a premium upgrade that feels worth every dollar.

Great headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used to have the xm4's so have liked the noise canceling of Sony but these are a huge improvement. They don't suck on phone call and the touch pad actually work both issues I had with the xm4's. If you need headphones get these

Posted .Hi Juan,
Thank you for the 5-star review! We're so happy to hear that your new WH-1000XM6 headphones are a huge improvement over the WH-1000XM4. It's fantastic that you're noticing a big difference in both the noise cancellation and the touch controls, as those were key areas of focus for us.
The enhanced performance, especially for phone calls and the touch controls, is thanks to a major upgrade in the core technology. The WH-1000XM6 features the new HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3, which is seven times faster than its predecessor and utilizes 12 microphones—1.5 times more than the previous model. This new processor and microphone system work together in real-time to more effectively block out unwanted sounds and isolate your voice for crystal-clear calls, making a noticeable difference in your daily use.
Thanks for choosing Sony, have an excellent day!

Worth the upgrade
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the Sony mx5 before and I loved them. I was hesitant to upgrade to the mx6 because of the price tag but after having them for a week now, I’m glad I did. The noise canceling and quality of sound are on a whole other level compare to previous generations. Definitely worth it
I would recommend this to a friendXM3 to XM6
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well it’s a Sony XM and I just upgraded from xm 3 to xm 6. My old one served me faithfully for years and it was no brainer to get this one. So far it’s been worth the upgrade. With BestBuy I managed to trade my old one in for some credit and I like that even after so many years of use I got credit for it.

10/10
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise canceling is next-level, works so well it softens the world even with no music playing. Our 2019 Sony WH-XB900N headphones are still going strong, but we had to try these. Sound and bass are comparable, with a slight upgrade you can feel.

Best Headphone Ever
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Initially, I was unsure about this product, but after a month of use, I can confidently say it offers the best ANC experience. It fits my large head comfortably, and even with glasses, it’s quite manageable—though extended wear might be a challenge due to my head size.

Massive upgrade
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Coming from XM2 which lasted 8 years, these had big shoes to fill. Happy to report the sound quality and ANC is a huge upgrade. The microphone for calls is improved but still not as good as airpods Max. With that said best noise cancelling headphones available.
