Top Tier Sound, Top Tier ANC. A Must Buy.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First time trying a WH-1000XM series headphone and these XM6’s are awesome! The ANC and Transparency modes are top level. With ANC the world around you disappears and with Transparency mode you can hear birds chirping and cars approaching while walking your dog. Sony really out did themselves with these 2 feature. Comfort level is also top notch, I can wear these for hours no problem. The battery life is excellent, up to 30 hours with ANC features turned on. And the sound quality is superb, you can even have a custom EQ with a 10-band slider to get the exact sound you want.

Sony XM6s >>>> Airpods Max and XM5s
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Phenomenal sound clarity; a clear step up even from the XM5s I currently own. ANC is basically unparalleled at this point. When on, entire world is basically on mute (especially while music is playing). Comfort level is great, even if the clamping is a bit stronger than the xm5. Owned a pair of airpods max for a few years, and let me just say as an iphone user, the xm6s blow them out of the water in so many categories that matter most (sound, comfort, portability, ANC). These are by far the best headphones I’ve ever worn and it’s not even close.

The Best
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am a very picky person when it comes to headphones. I have bought and returned many because I am not happy with them. This is the first pair that I will 100% say that I will keep because of how light it is how long the battery life is and how great it sounds. The flexibility of it with the headband with the clamp is great. I work out. It’s a great workout headset. I can sling around all I want and they do not follow my head. I have 100% recommend.

Sony really nailed it with the WH-1000XM5. The noise canceling is next-level—perfect for travel, work, or just tuning out the world. Sound quality is super clear and rich, with great bass and balanced tones. They’re also really comfortable, even for long wear, and the battery lasts forever (like 30 hours!). Bonus: they charge fast and have smart features like pausing when you take them off. If you’re on the fence, just get them. You won’t regret it.

Great audio and noise cancellation as usual
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony XM6s offer a fantastic audio experience with great sound and top-tier noise cancellation. You'll love the awesome battery life, and the "hear-through" mode works perfectly without making you dizzy. Just keep in mind they're not ideal for hot environments because they can make you sweaty, and the hinges might take a bit of getting used to. Still, they're a solid choice for their premium sound and features.

Great Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones. Most comfortable and best sounding pair I have ever used.

Best in-class ANC and more durable hinges
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these to the place my aging XM3 from Sony. The XM3 lasted me for over 3 years now and they are fantastic. The hinges on those headphones were cracking so I decided to replace them with these XM6. The noise cancellation on the new headphones is superior, the hinges are designed much better, and they are more comfortable on the ear. I especially like the adaptive noise canceling feature that adjusts the noise cancelation and ambient noise based on your surroundings. The Bluetooth connection is strong and you can connect to two sources at the same time. The included hard case is strong and durable for travel. The only negative about these headphones is the cost. Perhaps during Black Friday, they will go lower.

Amazing but Comfort Sacrifice
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Superb sound. My M3's lasted me 8 years with daily use, im hoping to get the same wear and tear out of this pair. My only issue is that the ear cups are smaller than the previous M-generation? and I dont like it, I have quite small ears. But I think the bigger ear cups are roomy and looser for all day use. Granted, these stay better on my head when im upside down in the gym. But other than that, they're barely too small. Ill keep them for the sound, but comfort has sadly sadly gone down for me.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your detailed and honest feedback, Lily!
We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the superb sound quality of your new WH-1000XM6 headphones! It’s also fantastic to know that your previous M3s lasted an impressive 8 years of daily use; that durability is exactly what we strive for, and we hope you get the same longevity from this pair.
We truly appreciate you detailing your experience with the ear cup size. We understand that changes to comfort, especially for all-day use, are critical, and we regret that the smaller size compared to the M-generation has slightly reduced your comfort level, despite the improved stability during activities like at the gym. We value this specific feedback immensely and will pass it directly to our design team, as maximizing both comfort and stability is a constant goal.
We are pleased you’ve decided to keep them for the excellent sound, and we thank you for bringing the comfort issue to our attention.
