I often swtich between my windows PC, macbook, and iPhone seamlessly. The noise canceling and transparency modes are top class.

I would recommend this to a friendSolid Update from the XM4 as an EDC
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Been using this series of headphones since the XM3s and have seen great improvements since. Purchased the XM6s after having the XM4s for several years. Compared to that model, swift pairing has improved and makes it easy to switch between several devices. Love that this keeps the foldable quality like the XM4s and keeps a smaller profile. Only thing that is an issue is when used is that there are times that the tap control features can randomly be activated (voice assistant/pauses audio) via harsh wind or other factors due to sensitivity. Otherwise, this is a great pick up.

Posted .Hi Letmesee,
Thanks so much for being a loyal user of the 1000X series and for sharing your detailed feedback on the new WH1000XM6 headphones! It’s great to hear from someone with firsthand experience across multiple generations of the product.
We're glad that the improvements in swift pairing and the continued focus on a portable, foldable design are making a difference for you.
We appreciate your feedback on the touch control sensitivity! While it is designed to make the controls highly responsive, it can occasionally lead to these accidental activations. One thing you can try is adjusting the touch panel sensitivity in the Sony | Sound Connect app. You can also temporarily disable the touch controls entirely within the app if you're in a particularly windy environment or on a bicycle ride, for example.
Thanks again for the great review and for choosing Sony!
Sincerely,
Jenn | Sony North America.
Totally Worth It!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones, as a busy mom of 3 who just started an online graduate program I love that I can use these headphones for class/group meetings & have the option to control the noise cancellation at my desire & not worry about sacrificing call quality. I also love the added silence I get at the end of my day when I have my much needed me time.

Great noise canceling, poor build quality
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Phenomenal active noise cancellation and comfort, but at this price point, it falls short compared to the Apple AirPods Max. Pros: ANC is top notch, lightweight and foldable design, solid 30-hour battery life. Cons: Cheap plastic build relative to the price, lacks water resistance, and cluttered companion app. AirPods Max win decisively on luxury metal build and depth out of the box, the Sony wins on portability, raw noise-canceling strength, and multi-device pairing. Why I Would Not Recommend: I wouldn't recommend them because they fit somewhere in middle ground. They charge a high price for a plastic build. If you want high-end materials, the AirPods Max are better; if you want value, older Sony or Bose models offer similar performance for less.
