Needed something new after rocking my jabra in ear headphones for several years and so glad to have some over the ear headphones again. The fold up function and carrying case has also been so helpful.

Posted .Hi Bstavig,
We are beyond pleased to hear that your new WH-1000XM6 headphones are the best you’ve ever owned! Hearing a "10/10" rating for both sound and comfort is the ultimate reward for our design team, who worked tirelessly to refine this latest generation.
To achieve that level of comfort, we reintroduced a foldable design and utilized a wider headband to distribute pressure more evenly during long listening sessions. The exceptional sound quality you're enjoying is powered by our new HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3—which is seven times faster than previous versions! We are really glad that the evolution of our flagship headphones has made such a positive impact on your music.
Thank you for choosing Sony.

Absolutely
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I never thought that the XM4s would ever be outclassed, but these take the cake by a mile. Going back to my XM4s while at the gym is an insane difference in sound quality, clarity and "space". The "space" of the sound for the XM4s is like this: "| |", but for the XM6s its more like this: "| |". Way better. My ONLY complaint is that the pads on the XM6s are a little too thin, but with 3rd party companies working on replacement pads that'll be a non-issue soon. 10/10.

Best over the head headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my mom for her birthday because I LOVE my XM5's and wanted to get her the latest model, and she loves it. She wears it every day and the ANC is the best I've ever experienced. If you have the XM5 then maybe it's not worth the upgrade but it's a significant upgrade if you have the XM4s.
