Love everything about them
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I typically lean to buying Apple stuff because I love the compatibility that the AirPods and everything else have with each other. Saying that, I recently bought the XM6’s and I’ve absolutely loved them. They have great sound quality and noise cancellation. They are also some of the lightest headphones I’ve ever worn. I would say if you had the choice to pick the XM6’s.

Posted .Hi JAKE,
It brings us great satisfaction to hear that you’re enjoying your new WH-1000XM6 headphones.
Moving away from a familiar ecosystem can be a big step, so we are especially glad that the exceptional sound quality and industry-leading noise cancellation have made such a positive impression. We also put a lot of focus on engineering a lightweight design for long-term comfort, and it’s wonderful to know they are among the lightest you’ve ever worn.
Thank you for being a part of the Sony family!

Sony has a winner here!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best headphones I've ever owned -- and I've had two Bose noise-cancelling sets previously. The sound is clear and the app is great for adjusting the sound to my ear. The noise cancelling works great, and the easy way to temporarily suspend the noise-cancellation to carry on a conversation is super. Very comfortable as well! The range for the wireless connection is also the best I have ever experienced.

Sony xm6
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the new headphones. The cushion is a lot comfortable, and the new driver that these headphones have is noticeable. The noise canceling has improved a lot in comparison. I essentially like that we can fold them like we used to on the xm4.

Mediocre sound, Great noise Cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really good ANC, they get quite hot and not very comfortable after around 45 minutes. Sound is boomy and unclear. Sennheiser momentum 5 and hdb 630 blow this out of the water besides ANC. Bose qc gen 2 are much better all around. Better anc and much better sound.

Audio is it beat ive heard and even beats some of the more expensive studio grade ones ive tried.

Gym / Chores
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones for the gym / chores around the house. Noise cancellation works pretty well, they have cool features like the simultaneous connectivity to two devices and EQ presets. I've dropped them a couple times and they still work fine. They can get kind of smelly if you leave them in the case without wiping them down post work out, but overall they're great headphones.

Posted .Hi Kyril,
It brings us great satisfaction to hear that your WH-1000XM6 headphones are keeping up with your lifestyle, from intense gym sessions to staying productive around the house. We designed them to be as versatile as they are durable, so it’s fantastic to know they’ve handled a few accidental drops and still perform beautifully. The multipoint connection and EQ presets are definitely game-changers for a seamless experience!
Regarding the post-workout freshness, a quick wipe down after a heavy session is a great tip for any athlete to keep those ear pads in top shape.
Thank you for choosing Sony to power your daily soundtrack!

Glad I Splurged on This.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am glad I got these headphones. Excellent sound quality. Comfortable, not too fatiguing on the ears. You can intuitively customize your preferred sound on the app. If you listen to classical music, you can hear a lot of the nuance. If you prefer rock, you can enjoy the bass cranked up. I prefer the Midnight Blue color for a slightly unusual look.

World Class ANC - BUT check the fit first!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Having upgraded to the Sony WH-1000XM6, I am incredibly impressed by the active noise cancellation. It completely silences low-frequency drone noises and takes a massive chunk out of high-pitched city sounds like sirens. The audio profile is classic Sony—punchy, bass-forward, and deeply immersive, though highly customizable via the app if you prefer a flatter sound. Microphone quality for calls is crisp and clear, making them excellent for work-from-home setups. My only real complaint is the comfort. While the ear cups are plush, the clamping force is a bit tight out of the box, and the headband created a noticeable pressure point on the top of my head during long listening sessions. If you can stomach the steep price tag and don't mind a slightly snug fit, these are arguably the best ANC headphones on the market.

Posted .Thanks for the awesome review, RicoSuaveee!
We are so glad to hear the incredible noise canceling, immersive sound, and crisp mic quality are hitting the mark for your work setup!
We also really appreciate you calling out the tight clamping force and headband pressure point. We want these to be as comfortable as they are smart, so we are definitely passing your notes along to our engineering team to look into for future tweaks.
Thank you for choosing Sony!

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.[Employee of bestbuy] 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.

||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
