    These took everything I didn’t like about the XM5s and improved upon them. The hinge system feels very strong and I have not encountered any creaking. With the XM5s if I turned my head the seal around my ears would loosen enough to where outside noise would leak in, with these XM6s I have no issues moving my head around. I preferred the XM4s base but these do quite well over all. There seems to be a clear separation of the lows, mids and highs.

      Thank you for sharing your fantastic feedback, Sammi!

      We are absolutely thrilled to hear that the WH-1000XM6 headphones have improved upon the previous generation in the ways that matter most to you, especially addressing the comfort and seal.

      It’s incredibly rewarding to know that you are finding the redesigned hinge system strong and that the improved acoustic seal maintains your quiet listening experience, even when moving your head. We worked hard on these refinements, and your detailed comparison is a great validation of those efforts.

      We also appreciate your insightful comments on the sound quality. Hearing that you perceive a clear separation across the lows, mids, and highs confirms the detailed, balanced audio we strove to achieve. While the bass signature might be different from the XM4s, we're glad the overall audio performance still impresses.

      Thank you again for choosing Sony's flagship headphones and for providing this excellent, comparative review!

      Thank you for sharing your experience and positive feedback on the WH-1000XM6, Mark. We’re glad to hear you’re noticing significant improvements over previous models and making the most of the dual device connectivity throughout your workday.

      With the WH-1000XM6, Sony aimed to address a number of user-requested enhancements. Community and early user impressions highlight several notable upgrades:

      - Advanced noise cancellation, powered by a next-generation processor reportedly “7x faster,” delivers even more effective blocking of distractions and real-time sound adaptation compared to the already strong performance in the XM5 and XM4.
      - Improved comfort and durability with a wider, reinforced headband, as well as a more compact and sturdy travel case, responding directly to feedback about the XM5’s case size and headband flexibility.
      - Enhanced call quality with the addition of a twelfth microphone, which is especially valuable for frequent business calls.
      - Multipoint (dual device) connectivity has been refined, making it even easier to switch between work laptops and phones—ideal for users who rely on these features to stay productive and connected.

      Your feedback confirms that these updates bring daily value and justify the upgrade for XM4 and XM5 users seeking the latest improvements in comfort, sound, and usability.

      Thank you again for your detailed review—it’s direct experiences like yours that help inform ongoing development and ensure Sony headphones continue to set the standard for audio performance and convenience.

    I never thought that the XM4s would ever be outclassed, but these take the cake by a mile. Going back to my XM4s while at the gym is an insane difference in sound quality, clarity and "space". The "space" of the sound for the XM4s is like this: "| |", but for the XM6s its more like this: "| |". Way better. My ONLY complaint is that the pads on the XM6s are a little too thin, but with 3rd party companies working on replacement pads that'll be a non-issue soon. 10/10.

    Christmas present. Daughter said sound was amazing and the ability to adjust overall sound was great. She like how the headphone controls work and the seamless integration with all her devices. Downside - because of how the headphones fold , they would not stay “square” on her head. They had a tendency to “twist” while she was wearing them which she found very annoying. Eventually returned & got Bose QV Ultra 2nd Fen.
