Sony has the best sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you skipped the XM5 because they didn't fold or felt flimsy, the XM6 is the upgrade you’ve been waiting for. It’s easily the best all-around headphone on the market right now.

Headphones..
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been using them for a little under a year. The sound is good. The noise cancellation works extremely well. I recently developed a knocking noise in my left speaker and I’m working on getting that fixed but overall they’re a great set of headphones.

Awesome headphones! Definitely recommend.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is really good, I wouldn't say it is superb, but definitely really good, plus you can play around with the EQ to tune it how you want. Also, if you buy a small receiver, you can use it wirelessly with your PS5, which has several options to enhance audio. Pretty awesome feature with that.

Get these headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Sony XM6’s with added Best Buy plus membership so I could truly test them out. The voice technology is unsurpassed by any other headphone I’ve tried. I talk on my headphones at work, in the car, while working outside and to go to sleep. People report (clearly) being able to hear my voice without any idea of what’s going on around me. The noise cancelling muffles exterior noises so I can focus on who I’m talking or listening to. I returned these headphones to try out the Bose headphones that are the same price and exchanged those for the Sony’s again the next day. The sound tech in these headphones excites me. The 360 sound is something that not even all music applications are capable of, yet. Overall, I am a 150% Satisfied Customer

Great sound quality, but hinge falls short

Bose quiet comfort
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These head phones are awesome. I run equipment all day and my music is important to me. The sound canceling is amazing as my equipment runs wide open I can hear my music clearly with Bose sound canceling option. I highly recommend these head phones.
I would recommend this to a friend XM4 vs XM6
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let me start off by saying… these headphones are really nice and techy. They have a lot of update features in comparison to the XM4’s and a tighter fit on the head. They also have a smoother transition in between devices and no speaker pops or cracks. However, they were too tight for my head and I did not enjoy the AI feature of the headphones. The voice became quite annoying and the headphones were so tight that they caused a headache. I also noticed that they may have been quieter, in comparison to the XM4’s. If you want some headphones more on budget, go for the XM4’s, as they are really high-quality as well. If you can afford the XM6’s, stick with them. Skip straight over the XM5’s, as they have a lot of faulty designs.

XM6 > AirPods Max
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought AirPods Max on tax free weekend, returned them due to how heavy they are (literally headache inducing in my case) and heard good things about these so figured I’d give them a shot. Overall great decision. AirPods do sound better but not by much and everything else these do just as good or better.

Bass is incredible and Cinema mode is great!!
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] Cinema Mode is a game changer where I can watch a movie or a tv show and actually feel like Im watching it in in a personal theater. The Bass is solid and defenitly worth the price compared to the apple air pod max. Also can use the aux cord if you want which is another kind gesture from Sony
