Best Headphones out right now.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first pair of high quality headphones and the XM6 is one of the best in the market. It does a really good job of blocking out most of the noise in a loud environment.

Upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had the mx3 and loved them but wanted an upgrade. These work great, only downside for me is they are very tight and hurt after wearing a few hours

Posted .Hi JubileeG,
We're glad you upgraded from the WH-1000XM3! We're sorry to hear about the discomfort, as new headphones can have a firmer clamping force initially. This typically improves as they break in over time, but you may find relief by slightly extending the headband sliders. You can find more tips on achieving the best fit here: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2984/v1/en/contents/TP1001861255.html
Thanks for choosing Sony.

XM3 to XM6
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well it’s a Sony XM and I just upgraded from xm 3 to xm 6. My old one served me faithfully for years and it was no brainer to get this one. So far it’s been worth the upgrade. With BestBuy I managed to trade my old one in for some credit and I like that even after so many years of use I got credit for it.

Sony XM6's
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good pair of headphones with great sound quality, I think they sound too muddy. I use a pair of air pods max and I feel like the sound quality doesn't compare unless you like a more bassy sound. Airpods have a more balance sound. Great build quality and very nice case. Simply wasn't for me.

Can be stolen easily/no gps
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It doesn't have GPS or any way to track it, so my first pair was stolen at the gym I go to and there's no way to track it, plus these aren't as comfortable as the previous version, in terms of sound and noise cancellation they are incredible, I would give them a 9/10

The Best for Trebles/ANC, But Bass Enjoyers Beware
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While the XM6s have technically superior active noise cancelling and definition on higher frequencies like trebles and mids, they lack the excellent, impactful bass of previous generations like the XM3 and XM4. Equalization efforts do not fix this. If bass is important to you, I would recommend checking out the previous generations instead (but avoiding the XM5s as their bass is also muddy and weak). If high frequency clarity or noise cancelling are most important to you instead, then the XM6s do perform better, but at a much steeper price tag.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi AudioJack, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding the WH-1000XM6 headphones. We sincerely apologize for any disappointment you’ve experienced with the bass performance compared to previous models. We appreciate your insights, as they help us improve our products and better serve our customers.
In addition to adjusting the equalizer settings, we recommend checking the fit of your headphones, as a snug fit can enhance bass perception. Additionally, ensuring that the headphones are fully charged can positively affect performance, as battery levels can influence sound quality.
Thank you for considering Sony products and for your thoughtful input.
Best regards,
Estefany
Great noise canceling headphones
