Best headphones of 2025
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best headphones I own. And that is saying something. I have plenty of $300 plus headphones. This is the latest and greatest from SONY. And it is worth the price. The theater setting via the app you download onto your phone makes a world of difference.

worthy successor to XM5
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.when I needed to replace the XM5 I was able to upgrade & I'm glad I did. there are a bunch of minor QoL improvements (like the ability to use the headphones while charging) that I enjoy

Posted .Hi NKNewton,
The WH-1000XM6 is a significant step up, and you're right—the ability to listen while charging over USB-C is a crucial quality-of-life feature that fixes a major annoyance from the XM5 model. Beyond that welcome fix, you'll benefit daily from the practical return of the fully foldable design, making them much easier to travel with, and a noticeably improved touch control experience for volume and playback. These minor but important refinements, alongside the superior ANC, really solidify the XM6 as a worthwhile upgrade.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab

Excellent sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love Sony products. Had a 1000xm4 that I was using for about 3 years, with about 8 hours a day usage. Moisture got into one of the mics and decided to just buy these to try out as a replacement, and they've been superb.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I enioyed my 19 hour car drive with 3 year old twins.

May want to look else where
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound was just OK. I compared it to my beats that I had and there really wasn’t much difference. The headphones themselves don’t breathe well so I felt like my head was cooking when I had them on. The noise cancellation was good, but not the best and for the price I expected a lot more. I returned them after two days.

Decent ANC headphones too tight on my head
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is decent. Not too heavy on the bass which is nice but a bit tinny with higher treble at least in my opinion. Unfortunately to much clamping force on my head so I’ll be retuning them.

Posted .Hi Mocchan,
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts with us on the WH-1000XM6 headphones. We're really sorry about the clamping force being uncomfortable. We genuinely want every listening session to be a good one. Sometimes gently stretching the headband a little or adjusting the earcups angle can help loosen things up for a better fit.
As for the sound, one thing that might help is the Sony | Sound Connect app, there’s a simple built-in EQ, so you can fine-tune the bass and treble to match what sounds best to you.
Thanks for considering Sony and for your valuable feedback, it really helps us improve.
Sincerely,
Estefany
