These are amazing headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My niece has been researching what would be the best overhead heaphones and stumbled upon the xm series. She decided to wait a year until these ones came out and brought them. Not only is the noice canceling fantastic, but so is is the ambient sound mode for when she commutes by foot and bus. The sound quality is phenomenal and theyre so easy to use with the app. Oh and the battery lasts days even with hours of use. Shes only charged them about 4 times, theyve never died, and shes had them for 2 months. I have yet to see her without them on!

Excellent Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are comfortable and sound great. Allowing ambient noise actually amplifies background noise, but it helps to be able to hear yourself talk to not shout at people when using as a headset. They do an amazing job with background noise cancellation. To test my wife was yelling in the room near me and the people on the other end of a meetings call couldn’t hear her at all. However, rocking motions forward and back will result in the noise cancellation causing you to cut in and out. Normal movement is fine though. The magnetic carrying case is much nicer than the previous generations. I also appreciate the ability to feel the difference between the round power button and the oblong feature button. I’m not a fan of the touch controls on the right cup as sometimes they can be a little wonky, but they work way better than on my old XM4s. Overall I highly recommend these headphones and believe it would be hard to find a better pair when caring about sound quality and usage as a headset.

Nice sound quality and comfortable to wear
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super comfortable and good sound quality. I like that they brought back the folding feature. I just wish I could keep the ambient sound mode on instead of having it switch back to noise cancellation mode automatically.

Premium performance at a premium price
|Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.People are going to complain about the price and they are correct the price is substantial. With that said, they are hundred percent worth it. You get class leading noise canceling and comfort with very decent sound out of the box that can be tuned in the incredible app to be almost perfect for any listening preference. The included case is very well made, and the magnetic latch is genius because it allows easy and fast access to the headphones. The only problem I have is a nitpick, and that is the build quality is a slight downgrade when compared to other headphones like the bose qc ultra and sonos ace, but the xm6's still feel decent just not as premium. So, if you want the overall best everyday headphones, the xm6's are currently unmatched in the current headphone landscape.

1000xm6
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wanted to upgrade from my xm3s and xm6 did not disappoint. Loved the noise cancellation on this. The clamping force feels strong in the initial days but when I used it for a couple of days, I grew accustomed to the force and now it feels so comfortable. The cafe mode is something that I am using on a regular basis and that just sets the mood while working. Also got a chance to do a bit of gaming (valorant) and it passed with flying colors. Would highly recommend if someone is coming from xm3s or xm4s. And for the people with xm5s (maybe suffering from hinge issues) I kind of feel the hinge here is good, no signs of breaking.

Excellent sounds and noice cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound and isolation are great. Very comfortable, excellent battery live. But! The "smart" features are very sensitive and can cut your audio easily. Excellent for long trips.

Posted .Hello Lulo,
Thanks for your valuable feedback on the WH-1000XM6 headphones—It's great to hear that you're enjoying the excellent sound quality, isolation, and comfort they deliver!
Regarding the "smart" features, we understand how frustrating it can be when they are overly sensitive and interrupt your listening experience. The headphones are designed with features like "Speak-to-Chat" and "Adaptive Sound Control" to be convenient, but we know user preference can vary.
Fortunately, you have control over the sensitivity of these features. You can adjust or turn off most of these settings in the Sony | Sound Connect app. For Speak-to-Chat: You can go into the app settings and adjust the sensitivity of the "Voice Detect" feature to a lower level, or simply turn it off completely if you prefer manual control. For Adaptive Sound Control: You can also manage or disable this feature in the app. It allows you to customize the settings for different locations and activities, or you can set your noise cancellation and ambient sound levels manually.
If you haven't already, please check the app's settings to fine-tune these features to your liking. May you require guidance during this process, you can contact our live support at: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones
Your feedback is very important, and we'll be sure to pass it along to our product teams.
Thanks for choosing Sony to be part of your trips!
Sincerely,
Jenn | Sony North America.

Great headphones for travel + home use
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable, great sound quality, and the noise canceling is almost too good. My only complaint is that you can only connect to 2 devices at a time and there is a noticable delay in audio for competitive games since it uses bluetooth. If you want to play anything competitive just use the included audio jack cable.

Not the best for calls, but music is transcendent!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I do love the over the ear style headphones after years of AirPods use. My only issue is that these headphones are poor for phone calls unless I’m looking straight ahead. They are not good to talk on the phone when I’m doing things that require looking down. The microphone gets muffled terribly and the other caller cannot hear me anymore. I have to take one star away because being able to talk on the phone hands free while I’m doing things is important to me. However, these are really made for listening to music. It was like listening to music for the first time ever. I heard new things in songs I have been listening to for 30 years! When I listened to my favorite opera song (Flower Duet) I actually teared up. There have been zero connectivity problems which is such a relief after AirPods constant connectivity issues.

Very impressed
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Alright the noise canceling capabilities are unbelievable, the ambient mode sounds nearly completely natural, i heard a leaky faucet while in ambient with music playing, they don't sound so airy (like the xm5s), the bass is solid and the new background music mode seems useful. The ai powered theater mode (spacial audio) seems hit & miss but isn't terrible.

Good with flaws
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Closer to 4.5 stars, but rounding down. It's a great set of headphones and the ANC is incredible. They comfortable and the battery is great. My biggest gripes are the build quality and the price. The headphones feel premium in some ways, but the hinges feel suspect and worry about their longevity.

Greatest Of All Time
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This item is Incredible! Hands down the best. I have gone through many pairs of headphone and none of them compare to THE XM6. You usually have basics qualities on headphones like sound, comfort, portability. However the XM6’s “basic” qualities are great qualities. They are by far the most comfortable and high definition sounding headphones. These are generationally superior to everything.
