Worth the upgrade from the XM5!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently ordered the XM5,I liked everything except that they weren’t foldable. So I ended returning them. The XM6 are exactly what I was waiting for. The case is smaller and no longer has a zipper. Probably best case out there. The noise canceling is better than the XM5.

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).

Good new headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lost my xm4 and needed a replacement. Overall, a nice upgrade (But if I didnt lose my old headphones, probably would not upgrade). The quality of the sound and ANC is amazing -as expected from Sony. The gestures and controls are similar to other sony devices and intuitive. Pairing to the phone and devices are easy with the App. The case is now clam shell with a clip vs. with a zipper. Overall, good new headphones if you need a new one but not too much changes from the xm4

Posted .Thank you for this excellent and detailed review, DarrenC!
We are pleased to hear you consider the WH-1000XM6 a nice upgrade after needing a replacement for your previous pair! It's fantastic to know that the quality of the sound and ANC is amazing and performing exactly as expected from our flagship headphones.
We also appreciate you highlighting the improvements, particularly how you find the gestures and controls intuitive and the pairing easy using the app. Your feedback regarding the new clamshell case with a clip is very valuable, as we aim to make portability and storage more convenient.
Your overall assessment—that this is a great purchase if you need a new pair, with subtle but significant changes from the XM4—is highly valuable to other customers looking to make that decision.
Thank you again for your continued loyalty and for choosing Sony!

Pricey but you get what you pay for
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound and build quality. I listen to mostly heavy metal and I would say they are decent out of the box for heavier music. After adjusting and messing with EQ it’s much better. The noise cancelling is insane and battery life has been great.

Great over ear headphones, but not for me
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these from a lot of the online hype. They truly are great over ear headphones, doing a great job with audio quality and a lot of great bass. The active noise canceling is really strong, and it’s pretty good at automatically switching to transparency mode when it detects you are talking. The pass through audio from your surroundings is crystal clear when that happens. It’s not for me, though, because I was trying these out to see how much better they were than AirPods Pro (2nd gen). To me, the delta was not nearly good enough to warrant something so much larger and harder to travel with (though the case is very nice). AirPods work great for me, so I’m just going to stick to those.
