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.

Best Sony noise cancelling headphones yet
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Sony headphones yet, improved on all of the previous versions. I had the XM4's, and skipped on the XM5's because of hinge issues and the sound was not as good. Now the XM6's incorporate the foldable design from the XM4's, and also the sound is way better, super well balanced, treble and midrange is clear, bass is balanced. The XM4's had bad treble and midrange clarity but the XM6's improved on that. The bass on the XM6's is also not as boomy as the XM4's. Good upgrade

Always prefer sony
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the sound. I can get the volume louder than any of my ear buds and the bass is real quality. I alway liked sony products and these don't disappoint. The materials are thin leather and plastic. So i will have to be delicate. Battery life is over three days.

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.

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.

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.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing headphones light weight.. : The sound is warmer and more detailed than the XM5. Sony worked with mastering engineers to create a wider soundstage, resulting in "punchier" bass and "airier" highs that feel less confined to you

We are thrilled to hear that the WH-1000XM6 is hitting all the right notes for you. It’s awesome that you noticed the "airier" highs and wider soundstage—our engineers worked hard to deliver that "punchier" yet detailed sound while keeping the headphones lightweight and comfortable.

Noticeable upgrade from the WH1000XM5
|Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noticeable upgrade from the WH1000XM5. - Sound quality is a bit better, while keeping the custom EQ on the app. - ANC is clearly more effective - Having a round button for power and keeping the old long strip for ANC toggle is such a minor change but makes it so much better to use, no more getting the 2 mistaken for each other - They might not fold as much as the WH1000XM4 did, but at least different from the XM5 they do fold again which makes the footprint smaller, both in or out of the case
