So so
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds good volume not as good as I would like it wish it had more bass

Posted .Thank you for the review, YvonneT!
It’s great to hear you're enjoying the sound, though we hear you on wanting more volume and bass. Since the WH-1000XM6 is tuned for accuracy, we recommend using the Sony Headphones Connect app to customize the Equalizer (EQ) settings—cranking up the lower frequencies there is the best way to get that extra punch you're looking for!
Thank you for choosing Sony!

Pricey, but worth every penny.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I found these amazingly comfortable and extremely effective at reducing airplane noise. The battery life is phenomenal as well. If I had to pick at anything, it’s the case that I’m not fond of. While I’m happy it’s there as competitors don’t include one, you have to contort the headphones to get them in the case. And if they are not placed in the case perfectly the case won’t close but again I am nitpicking.

Sony really nailed it with the WH-1000XM5. The noise canceling is next-level—perfect for travel, work, or just tuning out the world. Sound quality is super clear and rich, with great bass and balanced tones. They’re also really comfortable, even for long wear, and the battery lasts forever (like 30 hours!). Bonus: they charge fast and have smart features like pausing when you take them off. If you’re on the fence, just get them. You won’t regret it.

Best Headphones I have ever used
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is awesome. If you are an artist, or maybe you need a traveling companion, this is the real deal. The battery lasts more than 48hrs with a full charge. A friend recommended it to me, I was hesitant in gettin it but I am so happy i got it. It filters noises so very much more tuan any of the headphones I have ever used. So I strongly recommend it.

Sony xm6000
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Before buying the Sony XM6, I compared them with the Apple AirPods Max. I honestly felt the Sony headphones were much better. The noise cancellation has very minimal low humming sound, and the cinematic mode along with the overall audio quality is excellent. I also love how lightweight and comfortable they feel. The only drawback is that they don’t look as premium as the AirPods Max. But apart from that, the sound quality, adaptive noise cancellation, and cinematic sound experience are awesome.

Posted .Thank you for the fantastic review, SiddantharaoN!
It’s great to hear that after a side-by-side comparison, the WH-1000XM6 won you over. We take a lot of pride in our Adaptive Noise Cancellation, and it's wonderful that you’re noticing that nearly silent floor compared to other premium options. We also appreciate the feedback on the design—while we prioritize a lightweight, foldable build for all-day comfort and travel, we know that aesthetic tastes vary!
The Cinema Mode is one of our favorite new additions for 2025, and we're thrilled it’s giving you that immersive experience you were looking for.
Thank you for choosing Sony!

Great audio and noise cancellation as usual
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony XM6s offer a fantastic audio experience with great sound and top-tier noise cancellation. You'll love the awesome battery life, and the "hear-through" mode works perfectly without making you dizzy. Just keep in mind they're not ideal for hot environments because they can make you sweaty, and the hinges might take a bit of getting used to. Still, they're a solid choice for their premium sound and features.

Great Headphones
