Amazing noise cancellation. And sound.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought them after seeing multiple reviews saying the noise cancellation was some of the best, it truly is. Before this I’ve been using AirPods, Beats Studio buds and Corsair headphones to try and drown out the noise of my busy household, but these almost make it feel like not a thing is around me. Not to mention the sound quality, I know all the other earbuds and headphones I used before weren’t anything great but these straight up made me stop using my earbuds when walking to the store or when on a long drive (passenger).

Worth every penny.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best headphones ever. The sound quality and noise cancellation make these top tier headphones. The price point is high because the quality is even higher. They’re lightweight, and stay on my head without giving me a headache. Definitely would recommend as gym headphones or workout headphones.

Yes Yes & Yes
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ok I’m 53, have an iphone and have been a bose fan for YEARS!!! To keep it in perspective, I still have my Bose Ultra earbuds and will never leave. Ive tried every earbud on the market and none come close to the bose for sound, NC, and comfort. The talking is less to be desired but the gen 2 are to be relased later this week and they claim to have fixed the issue. Now onto the Sony XM6. These are by far the best over ear headphones on the market. You’ve probably researched all the reviews on youtube and they are correct. The only thing I would add is to find YOUR best suited EQ settings. This is extremely important. I followed this one guy on IG and he shared his setting and I ‘liked’ the XM6 before the adjustment, now afterwards I will confirm these are a perfect 10. A must have. So yes buy them, yes fix your EQ settings and finally yes you will say I do NOT have buyers remorse. This is just one man’s, in search of the perfect headphones opinion. Thank you for reading.

Worth Every Penny
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was skeptical about spending this much on headphones. But after months of hauling these across airports and conference rooms, I get it now. The noise cancellation is just different. I put these on during a 5-hour flight last month and genuinely forgot I was on a plane. For me, that's the whole game — I do a lot of my best work in transit, and these headphones are a big reason why that's even possible. Sound quality is excellent too, way better than I expected. And the battery just... lasts. I've never once pulled these out of my bag dead, which sounds like a low bar but trust me, with my travel schedule it matters. Honestly, if you're on the fence, just get them. I've recommended these to three coworkers already and none of them have come back to complain.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think. Perfect to use noise cancellation in office to do not hear colleagues talks Music is awesome, especially if a source is good/lossless. I slightly disappointed by the ios app because it has, IMHO, a lot of useless features. But if you use it inly for firmware updates - it is fine. I even don't want to try any other headphones had others before), this line is fully satisfied.

Owned XM2, XM4, XM5 before buying these.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Literal 5 star review. No hyperbole. I owned the XM2’s then didn’t need a new pair until they died. Those sounded incredible and my experience with them was great. Sticking with the Sony line was worth the cost of admission, so I bought the XM5’s which had just come out. After using them for a few days I returned them. They sounded incredible and much improved over my previous pair, but I hated that they didn’t fold down, plus it seemed the quality of the build was cheaper. I wanted to wait for the release of the XM6’s to see if they improved those concerns in any way, but in the meantime purchased the XM4’s to hold me over. Fast forward about 3 years to now and the XM6’s drop. Purchased them week one and as someone whose owned the XM2, XM4 and XM5 I can confidentally say that these are king of the hill to date. It seems to me if you had anything prior to the XM5, these have noticeable sound improvements and noise cancelling. If you have the XM5 previously, any improvement is not overly obvious to maybe a non-audiophile/obsessive. Maybe the hear through is better a pinch, but the noise cancelling, tuning, and overall sound is not vastly different. However, the build quality seems better and the folding is back. Recommend, that’s for sure, even with the $50 price increase.
