Sony 1000XM6
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Definetly a Best Buy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancellation on these headphones is really good. On my last flight I couldn't get them connected to my AirFly pro before the trip so I put my Airpod Pro's in and covered my ears with these. I could watch my film and actually hear what was being said over jet noise.

Massive upgrade
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Coming from XM2 which lasted 8 years, these had big shoes to fill. Happy to report the sound quality and ANC is a huge upgrade. The microphone for calls is improved but still not as good as airpods Max. With that said best noise cancelling headphones available.

Protección
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would like to suggest that if you are purchasing high-end headphones, it would be prudent to consider acquiring a protection plan.

No headphone can cancel high pitched sounds.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Yes, these will cancel noise but they don't cancel extremly loud noises like yelling/ screaming or high pitched sounds like a squealing dryer. No headphones can cancel these sounds.

Posted .Hi Raymond,
We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. You are exactly right—while our industry-leading noise-canceling technology is designed to drastically reduce ambient sounds like airplane engines or office chatter, sudden, high-pitched, or extremely loud noises can still be difficult to eliminate completely. We are glad to hear they are working well for your general noise-canceling needs!

Sony WH1000XM6
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Replaced my old over the ear headphones for the Sony 6. Perhaps it’s me but I think you should have the option to listen a little louder. But the background option is a great feature. And the case is perfect for on the go. Just snaps into place.
