I give 9/10 for the feature and sound.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comfort-wise, it was a little tight-fitting, but the sound quality is very good. You can change the codec and get better sound quality. Easy to use, and the touch feature is wonderful while working out. You don't have to constantly use your phone to skip songs or increase your music volume.

Posted .Hi Daniel,
We are glad you are enjoying the sound quality and touch controls! For a more comfortable fit, we recommend adjusting the headband sliders or slightly rotating the earcups.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Step up from the XM5s
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.To be honest, I thought I was done with Sony after the XM5s. They let me down in a lot of ways (sound quality and the hinge for starters). Then I started seeing leaks for the XM6 and I was like “okay one last try”. I’m very glad I did. These are bar none the best cans I’ve owned. I owned AirPods Max and sold them, had B&W Px7 and gave them away for poor noise cancelling. The XM6 finally achieved everything I was looking for in over-ear headphones

Posted .Hello Hhamanot,
Thank you for such an honest and powerful review of the WH-1000XM6 headphones!
We're incredibly grateful you decided to give Sony one more try after your experience with the XM5s. Hearing that the XM6s are "bar none the best cans you've owned"—even after owning and comparing them to premium competitors—truly means a lot to us.
It's fantastic to know that the XM6 finally achieved everything you were looking for in over-ear headphones. We're thrilled to have earned back your trust and delivered an exceptional listening experience!
Thanks for choosing Sony!
Sincerely,
Jenn.

Exceptional experience over QC35s.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Moving to the XM6 from Bose QC35. The sound quality is way superior and the noise cancelling is absolutely amazing. Flew with the XM6 and it was honestly very good. They cancel out all the constant background noises but also human chatter. The ambient sound mode is exceptional as well! Walked around the airport with the headphones on in the ambient mode and could hear all the chatter around me very very clearly.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think these are the best headphones on the market that don't need an amplifier. The noise cancelling is excellent. Battery life is excellent. Sound quality is excellent. One thing these have over the Airpod Max is that you can customize the audio levels. The only knock I have is that they show smears easily.

Awesome headphones! Definitely recommend.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is really good, I wouldn't say it is superb, but definitely really good, plus you can play around with the EQ to tune it how you want. Also, if you buy a small receiver, you can use it wirelessly with your PS5, which has several options to enhance audio. Pretty awesome feature with that.

Get these headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Sony XM6’s with added Best Buy plus membership so I could truly test them out. The voice technology is unsurpassed by any other headphone I’ve tried. I talk on my headphones at work, in the car, while working outside and to go to sleep. People report (clearly) being able to hear my voice without any idea of what’s going on around me. The noise cancelling muffles exterior noises so I can focus on who I’m talking or listening to. I returned these headphones to try out the Bose headphones that are the same price and exchanged those for the Sony’s again the next day. The sound tech in these headphones excites me. The 360 sound is something that not even all music applications are capable of, yet. Overall, I am a 150% Satisfied Customer

Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The overall experience was great and a huge upgrade from the xm4s, better noise cancellation and touch controls however if your not looking to spend the price the xm4s have a greater value for the price. Worth it, but not to the point where its the only option !
