One of the most quality headphones out
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am normally a fan of Beats bc of their availability and functions. But after I bought these, the headphones live up to my expectations. The only downsides to those are the non-detachable earmuffs, and of course the price…apart from that, these are all around a great product with a few improvements that can be made to future designs. Def a worth competitor to AirPods Max

Great for Upgrades and best in Class
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] I currently have the XM3s and was waiting for a real jump to upgrade and this is it! Better noise cancellation and clearer sound. Overall a great upgrade from older models and as always Sony is leading in over the ear headphones so a great buy no matter what.

Sony headphone review
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I must admit the Sony headphones have incredible sound performance. It has increased my headphone usage, and has made the experience much more enjoyable. The fit across the head is comfortable and when bending over the headphones actually stay in place that is a big plus. Also when exercising and during vigorous workouts there is little to no movement of the headphones. Lastly most definitely not least the comfort of the ear cushions are phenomenal. I would recommend to others and purchase again if necessary.

These are awesome!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned two other generations of these headphones. These are by far the best. The case is super convenient and these are easier to move around when talking to colleagues in an office setting. I just have to keep a cloth to wipe these off because they’re very easy to get residue from your hands on them.

Sony has the best sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you skipped the XM5 because they didn't fold or felt flimsy, the XM6 is the upgrade you’ve been waiting for. It’s easily the best all-around headphone on the market right now.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I delayed buying a pair of over the ear headphones. I researched, I hemmed and hawed. I went in and tested. But, am I glad I got these. They sound great, the app makes customization relatively easy. Do yourselves the favor for a great audio experience and pick these up if you are in the market.

Good overall
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Compared to the last XM5 the ANC is undeniably better but not by much and it doesn’t justify it’s price. For someone like me who wants the best it isn’t a horrible idea but still a bad deal

Worth the upgrade
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the Sony mx5 before and I loved them. I was hesitant to upgrade to the mx6 because of the price tag but after having them for a week now, I’m glad I did. The noise canceling and quality of sound are on a whole other level compare to previous generations. Definitely worth it

Posted .Hi Tristan,
It brings us great satisfaction to hear that the noise cancellation of your WH-1000XM6 is making your yard work so much more enjoyable by blocking out the engine noise. Since you use them while being active outdoors, we recommend regularly wiping down the ear pads with a soft, dry cloth to keep the materials in top condition after a long day of mowing.
Thank you for choosing Sony to be your companion even during the toughest tasks!

Dominick
