XM3 to XM6
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well it’s a Sony XM and I just upgraded from xm 3 to xm 6. My old one served me faithfully for years and it was no brainer to get this one. So far it’s been worth the upgrade. With BestBuy I managed to trade my old one in for some credit and I like that even after so many years of use I got credit for it.

Massive upgrade
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Coming from XM2 which lasted 8 years, these had big shoes to fill. Happy to report the sound quality and ANC is a huge upgrade. The microphone for calls is improved but still not as good as airpods Max. With that said best noise cancelling headphones available.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Initially, I was unsure about this product, but after a month of use, I can confidently say it offers the best ANC experience. It fits my large head comfortably, and even with glasses, it’s quite manageable—though extended wear might be a challenge due to my head size.

Sony WH1000XM6
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Replaced my old over the ear headphones for the Sony 6. Perhaps it’s me but I think you should have the option to listen a little louder. But the background option is a great feature. And the case is perfect for on the go. Just snaps into place.

Extremely uncomfortable/ headband snapped.
|Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality, big upgrade from the xm5 noise cancellation is absolutely amazing. The fact that they can fold again. Sososo good. The case is beautiful. They are however awful to wear. The earcups are teeny tiny, and have protrusions inside them that can actually touch your ear if you have larger ears. The foam on the earculs is extremely thin as well, which helps with heat but not with comfort. The main issue with comfort though is the top headband. It literally doesnt feel like it has foam in it at all, i couldnt wear these headphones for more than like five minutes without them actually hurting. I took them off once and the hadband snapped up. I was able to snap it back in place , which was crazy to me, but from them oj it made a creaking sound. I returned these and went back to my xm5. The sound quality and anc upgrade isnt worth nkt bejng able to wear them. My advice is to go into the store and try them on. Spend some time wearing them at the display. See if they hurt your head.

Posted .Hi Rikku, we're genuinely sorry that the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones did not provide the comfort you required, despite the significant enhancements in sound quality, active noise cancellation (ANC), and the reintroduction of the foldable design. We understand that the small earcups, thin earcup foam, and particularly the discomfort from the headband made them unwearable for long-term use for you.
Your detailed feedback, including the issue with the headband snapping and creaking, is extremely valuable. We genuinely appreciate you taking the time to experience the product and provide such a thorough review. Your insights, especially the recommendation for potential customers to try them on in-store are crucial, and we'll definitely share your feedback with our development team for future improvements. We're happy you returned to the WH1000XM5 and are still enjoying the magnificent sound. Thank you for considering Sony! Best regards, -Dominick
Don't waste your time, buy these today!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These X6 headphones sound amazing out of the box. I havent had time yet to listen to uncompressed music just yet. But I am sure it will sound amazing since the drivers in these headphones are extremely accurate. If you enjoy music buy these. Life is to short to listen to music you love be muddy and distorted. The noise cancellation in these Sony's are next level too.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The quality of the feel and sound is great! Only thing I don’t like is the earcups. Not enough cushion and looks cheap, along with it not being able to get wet. Besides that I think the price should have been $100 less due to those
I would recommend this to a friendOverall excellent
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony headphones always have excellent sound quality, plus ANC. To be fair I miss the design of the XM4s more but this is completely my own bias and may not be applicable to all people.

Almost perfect
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far I've been extremely impresses. The sound quality is great, and the noise cancelling tech works better than anything I've seen before. I also love how easy it is to switch b/w devices and all the other customization options you get with the app. The only downsides for me: 1. The volume adjustment increments on the touch pad are way to low. It feels like each swipe is only moving volume up or down 1% and it takes 30-40 swipes to go from 50% to max. Very frustrating, please fix! Or give us the option to adjust. 2. The headphones are very comfortable, but also get very hot since they don't breath at all. I guess this is a consequence of the the noise insulation required.

Posted .Hi Grumpy,
Thank you for the excellent feedback on the WH-1000XM6 headphones! We're thrilled you're impressed with the sound quality and noise canceling. We appreciate you sharing your experience.
We understand your frustration with the volume control. While the current design is for precise adjustments, you can increase or decrease the volume more quickly by swiping and holding your finger on the touch panel. Your feedback about both the volume and the warmth of the earcups will be passed on to our product team for future consideration.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
