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!

Excellent Upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I came from the Airpods Max and couldnt be happier. The AirPods Max never felt like the best-in-class in either ANC or sound quality generally. I was holding off on the XM5 until the XM6 and ended up trading in the AirPods Max. The build quality on these is wonderful and they are much lighter than the Max. Sound quality is another level and the ANC is amazing. They are also much more comfortable to wear than the Max. The travel case is also excellent. I haven’t played around with the accompanying app much but it looks like it has some cool features. Really happy with my purchase!

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.

Top Tier Sound, Top Tier ANC. A Must Buy.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First time trying a WH-1000XM series headphone and these XM6’s are awesome! The ANC and Transparency modes are top level. With ANC the world around you disappears and with Transparency mode you can hear birds chirping and cars approaching while walking your dog. Sony really out did themselves with these 2 feature. Comfort level is also top notch, I can wear these for hours no problem. The battery life is excellent, up to 30 hours with ANC features turned on. And the sound quality is superb, you can even have a custom EQ with a 10-band slider to get the exact sound you want.

Sony XM6s >>>> Airpods Max and XM5s
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Phenomenal sound clarity; a clear step up even from the XM5s I currently own. ANC is basically unparalleled at this point. When on, entire world is basically on mute (especially while music is playing). Comfort level is great, even if the clamping is a bit stronger than the xm5. Owned a pair of airpods max for a few years, and let me just say as an iphone user, the xm6s blow them out of the water in so many categories that matter most (sound, comfort, portability, ANC). These are by far the best headphones I’ve ever worn and it’s not even close.

The Best
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am a very picky person when it comes to headphones. I have bought and returned many because I am not happy with them. This is the first pair that I will 100% say that I will keep because of how light it is how long the battery life is and how great it sounds. The flexibility of it with the headband with the clamp is great. I work out. It’s a great workout headset. I can sling around all I want and they do not follow my head. I have 100% recommend.

So Good!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.⸻ Sony WH-1000XM5 – Worth It These are hands-down the best noise-canceling headphones I’ve ever used. 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.

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 pair of headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Such a great headphone. I upgraded from the WH-1000XM3 and wow. Not that I had any complaints with my old pair, but these are awesome. They're super comfortable and sound great. They also have a better EQ to control the sound with in app. The new case is pretty good too. I like the magnetic clasp instead of a zipper. These are great for listening to music, watching a movie, flying on a plane, or just blocking out most of your surroundings while working or studying.
