Bass is incredible and Cinema mode is great!!
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] Cinema Mode is a game changer where I can watch a movie or a tv show and actually feel like Im watching it in in a personal theater. The Bass is solid and defenitly worth the price compared to the apple air pod max. Also can use the aux cord if you want which is another kind gesture from Sony

XM6 > AirPods Max
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought AirPods Max on tax free weekend, returned them due to how heavy they are (literally headache inducing in my case) and heard good things about these so figured I’d give them a shot. Overall great decision. AirPods do sound better but not by much and everything else these do just as good or better.

Great sound, a bit small for the ears
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These have a great sound-stage and ANC. Compared the AP Max 2, I found them to be a bit quieter and less range. If you have earrings or large ears, they may not provide the best comfort, as I found the ear muffs to be too small for mine.

Great headphones but not great cups
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound. Great base. Great NC. The only downside is the ear cups are to thin/shallow so it's not comfortable to wear for a long time. I bought a thicker replacement cups and now i can wear them all day.
