    XM6 > AirPods Max

    Bought AirPods Max on tax free weekend, returned them due to how heavy they are (literally headache inducing in my case) and heard good things about these so figured I’d give them a shot. Overall great decision. AirPods do sound better but not by much and everything else these do just as good or better.

    These headphones are aesthetically pleasing to look at and sound amazing. I recently lost a pair of headphones in Tokyo and needed a replacement quick. I did allot of research on Youtube and the XM6’s were highly regarded, which made my decision allot easier. These feel great on my head and over my ears. The noise cancelling function on these headlhones is excellent for the type of environments I’m engaged in. I’m sfill learning about the XM6’s functionality, but for now I’m really happy with this purchase.

Since you're still exploring all the new features, you’re in for a treat as you discover how the enhanced AI processing adapts to your surroundings even better than before.

      Hi GonzaloS,

      We are ecstatic to learn that your WH-1000XM6 headphones are making such a positive difference during your time on the road!

      We know that a trucking environment presents unique challenges, which is why we’ve equipped the XM6 with our most powerful hardware yet: the HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3. Combined with a total of 12 microphones, this system is designed to identify and cancel out the low-frequency roar of a truck engine with incredible speed and precision. We are thrilled that the "great" audio quality is helping you enjoy your favorite tracks and stay focused on the miles ahead.

      Thank you for trusting Sony to be your reliable companion on every journey.

      Hi CromagJohnson,

      We are pleased to learn that your upgrade to the WH-1000XM6 has made such a significant difference in your travels! The XM4 was a fan favorite for years, so hearing that you find this new generation much better at silencing airplane engines is a fantastic testament to our engineering progress. We are thrilled that you can now enjoy a near-silent cabin experience, allowing you to focus entirely on your music or movies during long flights.

    XM4 vs XM6

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Let me start off by saying… these headphones are really nice and techy. They have a lot of update features in comparison to the XM4’s and a tighter fit on the head. They also have a smoother transition in between devices and no speaker pops or cracks. However, they were too tight for my head and I did not enjoy the AI feature of the headphones. The voice became quite annoying and the headphones were so tight that they caused a headache. I also noticed that they may have been quieter, in comparison to the XM4’s. If you want some headphones more on budget, go for the XM4’s, as they are really high-quality as well. If you can afford the XM6’s, stick with them. Skip straight over the XM5’s, as they have a lot of faulty designs.
