Customer Ratings & Reviews

The ANC is truly amazing. So is the sound quality, the only thing is its missing a bit of low end base. I did expect these to sound like previous sony hesdphones that had really good bass bus these are missing that festure. I'd give it 4.5 star.

I've been using these headphones for almost a month. The bass is really good. The sound quality is amazing, and the noise blocking is fantastic. It takes you to a different universe when listening to music.

I've upgraded from sony xm3 to xm6 and its a night and day differnce. They improved the customisation options to next level and noise canceling is best in class I've experienced, even better than bose ultra. I highly recommend this product anyone looking to buy a top class noise cancelling headphones.

I love the rich sound that comes from these headphones. The bass is just perfect. It's clean bass, not that dirty bass. The only thing i dislike is the materials. They feel cheaply made compared to other headphones I've had in the past. I wouldn't pick any other headphones over these.

Real BEST SOUND CANCELLATION EVER and the battery is insanely amazing. I turned the headphones on at the LAX airport, used it the entire time all the way to Dublin (over 11hrs flight) and when I arrived I still had over 70% battery!!!

For solely sound quality I’ll give 5 but the reduced rating is for the questionable build partly due to the hinge allowing rotation for folding in case. The Bose UC would probably have been a better choice only for this reason. The other reason would be the depth of the ear cushions. I find my ears touching the inner membrane. I replaced with Wicked Cushions but that didn’t solve the problem fully.

Love these! Had Bose Ultras. For me, these are more canceling. And the silver blends with my Michael McDonald-esque hair. Took a picture of how they fit into the case for reference. :-)

An absolute perfect pair of headphones. I’ve been blown away by the clarity. Highly recommend this headphone to anyone.

Without a doubt the best headphones I've tried, the noise cancellation is excellent.

The sound is so clear and good, when I have it in noise cancellation I can’t even hear my own voice. These headphones are worth every penny.

Insane sound quality. I am able to hear sounds in my favorite songs I wasn't even aware were there. Highly recommend to anyone who has the money.

Amazing sound quality and the quick response to adaptive hearing is flawless. So happy about this purchase

I use to be a beats guy but a friend recommended me these headphones best change I've ever made and also good gym headphones !!

Headphones fit well and the app makes it easy to use.

I am an apple glazer and I own the airpod maxes and I can’t even begin to talk about how amazing these headphones are, the noise cancellation IS NO JOKE!! Incredible job sony.

It's not comfortable, the top of my head would eventually hurt after minutes of wearing it (I tried adjusting it several times). Not really amuse w/ the ANC, I could still hear the people talking at the back of my seat while I'm on the plane. Idunno, it's my first ANC headset, I like the noice cancelling of my airpods pro better. I love the design and the casing of it tho. For the price? It's not worth it, I think.

I wanted to upgrade my airpods pro but instead i got the WH-1000XM6. Best decision I’ve ever made! The noise cancelling feature is the best, it really cancells out the sounds in your environment a huge plus when travelling. I’ve had mine for a month and i only charged it once. I use it with my iphone, my pc, my steam deck and it’s really easy to pair with my devices.

Sony headphones are year after year listed as the best or among the best headphones you can buy. The WH-1000XM6 is the latest in the family of excellent sounding and comfortable headphones from Sony. Granted, when the previous generations of 1000XM series was/is so good. What could be done to make the XM6 better? Me & Fit/Comfort: Older manly adult with beard and larger head and I occasionally use readers when the text is tiny. Hours of use and walking around, the XM6 are light and clamp slightly tight, that may loosen a bit over time, but very comfortable for hours of use. My ears do not touch anything inside the cups, but do get warm and east coast summer could be an issue if used outdoors. Indoor comfort temps are not an issue yet. These stay put while moving and doing tasks and do not need constant adjustments to stay put. They are far lighter than any other premium over ear I have used in the past. Clean Uncluttered Style: I have the blue XM6's and they look better to me over the 2 other more common colors. Left cup has an easy to find raised button for noise cancellation level (additional presses give more functions). Even the power button is large and easy to find, quick press gives battery level. Then you have the dead simple finger swipes for volume and track progression (touch is right ear cup only). Taps are to pause or take/reject calls, tap + long press for assistant. There are also head gestures for a few functions, but this my be troublesome for those who move a lot while listening. Then there is the case, NO ZIPPER to break. The magnetic clasp seems like a better way to keep the headphones and a few cables housed. Time will tell, but its very nice and secure right now. Just getting the headphones origami correct to put them back in the case is still a work in progress for me, case is labeled L and R. The headband has to be fully compressed first, then folded. Yup, folding is back! Sound and App: They sound great and better if you have a little patience with the app. Out of the box they are good, but if you dive into the plethora of options and settings in the Sony Sound Connect app. You will be able to use some Ai help to find your best sounding equalizer. Or just tap through a few very decent sound profiles from master audio engineers Sony worked with for the sound closest to your music choices. I went with the Ai and it was very close to what I used the 10 band equalizer for. Just know when these are setup, you will be rewarded with a excellent sound cocoon that can block out most of your environment...If you choose to. ANC: ANC can be on/off or any level of transparent you might want. I was always fine with on or off, but I know many may need to allow some external audio in. ANC at max is very good. The clamp level/force of the headphones lets very little in and at minimal volume levels, the outside stays out. (My beard and if I wear glasses do not give the best ear cup seal.) I only played briefly with the Ambient Sound Control. It works well if you need to still hear what is happening around you. I just prefer to only hear the headphones. I will say that the Auto Adaptive Sound Control maybe did not work well for me. Kept hearing tones as it switched modes while I moved around my house. There might be further adjustments to get that feature to work better. For now, that feature is off. Extras: The app has a lot of additional options that could be very useful to others, but I do not have a use or need for some of them yet. The listening mode feature adds some decent DSP of Background Mode and Cinema. It just felt like the music or audio was too far removed for me. Certain devices might make this feature more useful in the future. Speak to chat is also a nice feature, but not if you tend to sing or hum along as you listen. Better to have a feature and not need it, than not have it at all. Final feature that is limited for me. Spatial Sound and Head Tracking. I would love for this to be everywhere, but it is like VR or 3D. Extremely cool, but very limited use and the XM6 does not up-mix your audio to 360. There are 4 apps to install for use with the feature if you want to try it. I do not have any gripes in the week of use, other than a couple features were not adding to my use or needs. Audio in LDAC is sounding great and without a hiccup so far. Battery life is more than enough, plus they charge quickly if I need a bit more. They are now a bit more of a splurge. Guess nicer things in the world are that way now.

I don’t think the sound quality it there! My $350 BEATS sounded better! The Auto Noise Cancellation is great though! I played with the app and eq settings and could not get them sounding that great! Especially for $454! Maybe they will sound better with higher quality codecs but I’m happy with my music streaming service so.,,

Amazing product Best Buy has all the best electronics very pleased with my purchase
