King of the Hill
|Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony WH-1000XM6 continues Sony's reign at the top of the noise-canceling headphone market, serving as an iterative masterpiece that addresses the main critiques of its predecessor, the XM5. It is arguably the best all-around travel and productivity headphone available.

Worth upgraded from 5s
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Much improved over the XM5s. I appreciate they partially fold, makes them feel more premium than those that fold completely and gives more functionality over those that don’t fold at all.

Can be stolen easily/no gps
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It doesn't have GPS or any way to track it, so my first pair was stolen at the gym I go to and there's no way to track it, plus these aren't as comfortable as the previous version, in terms of sound and noise cancellation they are incredible, I would give them a 9/10

Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones are pretty good, the sound quality is good since these are my first pair of headphones, although connecting with the Sony app will disconnect even though you're connected and sometimes the ambient mode won't work and you have to disconnect & reconnect, but overall just don't buy these for full price, wait till they're on sale.

Posted .Hi Zack,
We are happy to hear that the sound quality is good for your first pair of high-end headphones, but we sincerely apologize for the frustrating connectivity issues you are experiencing with the Sony app and the inconsistent Ambient Sound Mode. Since the app connection is unstable and Ambient Mode requires frequent re-connection, please ensure both the headphones and the Sony Headphone Connect app are updated to the latest versions, and then try performing an initialization (factory reset) on the headphones, as this often resolves communication bugs and restores full functionality.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab
