Great replacement for Apple AirPod Max
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are amazing! The noise canceling is next level – I can throw them on anywhere and it’s like the outside world disappears. The sound quality is super clear with great bass, and everything I listen to just sounds better on these. They’re really comfortable too, even after wearing them for hours. Battery life is awesome – I barely have to think about charging. Pairing is super easy and the touch controls make them simple to use. If you’re looking for headphones that do it all – comfort, sound, and noise canceling – the Sony WH-1000XM6 is totally worth it!

Exceptional comfort and isolation
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The updated padding on the headband completely eliminated the pressure points I normally experience during long audio sessions. The noise cancellation is remarkably effective at silencing loud environments, allowing me to focus entirely on my work. The microphone quality is also superb for virtual meetings.

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.

Very Good Headphones

Posted .Hi SaminY!
Thank you for sharing your experience with the WH-1000XM6! We are thrilled you love the battery life, noise cancellation, and immersive technology.
We take your feedback about the iOS app seriously and want to make it feel less gimmicky and more useful for you. To streamline your experience, we recommend disabling features like "Activity" tracking and "Adaptive Sound Control." You can also customize the dashboard to display only essentials like the Equalizer, creating a much cleaner interface.
We constantly update our software based on user feedback to improve the design and usability.

Perfect Fit, Perfect Sound, Perfect Headphones!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely incredible sound quality; I was not expecting a noticeable difference between the XM5 and XM6 in sound, nor the Bose Quiet Comfort, but it was immediate improvement in clarity on vocals for several tracks. While features like the Cinema mode don't really impress on music, it was certainly nice to watch a movie with, and latency was not a problem. The build quality feels significantly improved over previous Sony models and the carrying case with the magnetic clasp is also an improvement. The hardest pill to swallow on these is the price, but all other features and qualities considered, they feel justified.
