Good, while XM5 is still not bad
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgraded to XM6 from XM5. The new hinge system, potentially addressing the hinge issues seen with the XM5. I like the folding design and a smaller carrying case. The improvement on noise-canceling is notice-able. Other than that, not so much difference on sound quality. The touch control pad looks more responsive. Did not get a chance to test Microphone yet. Overall, if you like better noise cancellation and the folding design, go for it. Otherwise, XM5 is still good.

Best Headphones I've Ever Had!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best headphones I've ever had and in my opinion worth the money. Comfortable for an entire 9 hour flight to Europe and silenced the crying baby onboard. Made my music and games better with a more robust and complete sound. The touch features are an added bonus. If I had one negative it would be that folding them back up into the carrying case can sometimes be a bit challenging if you're in a hurry.

What an improvement
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are a great upgrade from the XM4, which were already amazing. The noise cancelling is noticeably better, and the sound stage is also noticeably improved. I love bass and these headphones deliver. I skipped the XM5 because they didn't fold, and I'm glad these ones fold. The new carrying case is great too. Why didn't they do that sooner? Yes they're pricey, but if you like nice things and can afford to buy them, these are a great purchase.

Better than my Bise QC ultra's
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Brian sound, brilliant fit, brilliant design. Sony, has once again, outdone themselves
I would recommend this to a friendGreat Earphones. Earphones blew away.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product. Cancels most sounds if you chose. Very comfortable. I used when riding my CanAm Spyder motorcycle with other bikers with loud pipes. Options are to use bluetooth or plug in earphones. Expensive but worth it - $499.00. I lost mine when a big gust of wind hit me. The earphones blew away and I could not find it anywhere. So I can not provide a picture. Maybe someone will find it in a hundred years.

Excellent capability > questionable hardware
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are definitively excellent, with compromise. The ANC is class leading (as good as the professionalized Bose A30s I fly airplanes with), the design is simple and unobtrusive, and the sound quality is acceptable for this category. However, they fall under the Bose QC Ultra in overall comfort and build, and the touch controls are finicky. Comfort was a huge disappointment here. I disliked the hard headband which made sleeping in long commercial flights bothersome, and the warm, rubbery ear-cups which centralize heat and sweat. If you value a great case, the best ANC, and superior sound - get these. If you value build quality and superior comfort, the Bose are your choice.

Good sound
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good quality item. The music sounds so good and the battery life is not too bad. I noticed a few days ago though, that some of my music that played well on it, are no longer working well. I did get a 2 year protection plan, so let's see how that goes in case I need their help.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback, IndT.
We are delighted to hear that you are enjoying the very good quality of your WH-1000XM6 headphones, particularly the clear music sound and the strong battery life!
We are, however, concerned to hear about the recent issue where some of your music is no longer playing well. This kind of audio skipping or intermittent sound can sometimes be related to Bluetooth connection quality settings, especially when transferring high-resolution audio.
We would like to help you resolve this right away so you don't need to use your protection plan for a minor issue. We recommend trying this quick fix in the Sony | Headphones Connect app:
Go to the Sound tab.
Find the setting for Bluetooth Connection Quality.
If it is currently set to Prioritize Sound Quality, please try changing it to Prioritize Stable Connection.
This simple change often resolves unexpected audio playback issues.
If this step does not fix the problem, please reach out to our support team directly at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones. Our specialists can guide you through other troubleshooting steps, such as performing a software update or a full reset.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and look forward to ensuring your listening experience is consistently excellent!
