Premium performance at a premium price
|Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.People are going to complain about the price and they are correct the price is substantial. With that said, they are hundred percent worth it. You get class leading noise canceling and comfort with very decent sound out of the box that can be tuned in the incredible app to be almost perfect for any listening preference. The included case is very well made, and the magnetic latch is genius because it allows easy and fast access to the headphones. The only problem I have is a nitpick, and that is the build quality is a slight downgrade when compared to other headphones like the bose qc ultra and sonos ace, but the xm6's still feel decent just not as premium. So, if you want the overall best everyday headphones, the xm6's are currently unmatched in the current headphone landscape.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Sony XM6 headphones and I love them. The noise cancellation is great, the sound is clear with strong bass, and the battery lasts all day. The only downside is that sometimes they randomly turn off even when they’re not dead.

Posted .Thank you for the fantastic review, GloriaM!
We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your new WH-1000XM6 is delivering the clear sound, strong bass, and top-tier noise cancellation you expect from Sony. It’s wonderful to know the battery life is keeping up with your daily routine! We are sorry to hear about the random power-offs, but this is often just a setting called "Automatic Power Off" that can be adjusted in the Sony | Headphones Connect app to keep them on even when they don't detect movement.
If that doesn't solve it, please reach out to us at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones so we can make sure your experience is 100% seamless. Thank you for choosing Sony!

The Best
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've tried all types of headphones, and these are the best when combining sound, comfort, and noise cancellation. The LDAC codec lets you listen to HD quality music with almost any Android phone. If you have an iPhone, there is a small adapter you can buy on Amazon from Questyle.

Posted .Hi DarylD,
It’s rewarding to hear that after testing various models, you have found our latest flagship headphones to be the ultimate benchmark for audio, comfort, and silence!
To achieve this level of performance, we integrated the all-new HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3, which operates seven times faster than its predecessor to optimize 12 individual microphones in real-time. This processing power ensures that our industry-leading noise cancellation adapts instantly to your environment, while the carbon fiber composite 30mm drivers deliver the studio-quality precision that audiophiles expect. We are also glad you mentioned the LDAC support; by allowing for a transmission rate of 990 kbps, we ensure that High-Resolution Audio is preserved wirelessly, giving you the richest possible soundscape regardless of your device.
Thank you for choosing Sony and for sharing your helpful setup tips with the community!

Dominick

Me and my big head :D
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a very large head, and I have to say that these fit me excellently. The sound really vibrates in my ears and in my soul as well. Turning off noise cancellation proved to be a little bit troublesome, but overall it was easy. I am thinking of getting the white one as well.

Couldn't be happier!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These sound amazing! The fact that they're so light and carry a punchy sound make them even more awesome. I was going back and forth between this and the apple airpod Max's but they were too heavy and didn't have a deeper bass compared to the Sony's. I got them for my wife as I still use my XM4's. I can say sound wise it isn't a huge upgrade from the XM4's but they've upgraded the noise cancellation and the sidetone feature drastically. Solid buy nonetheless and my wife loves it which is the most important thing as a husband haha

The most important thing is that your wife loves them. Thanks again for being a loyal customer and for sharing your experience!

Best headphones ever!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these headphones after doing a bit of research. I had high hopes for them, but still not fully expecting what I would recieve. I tried them on and was instantly blown away by their noise cancellation and other features such as hand over ear which makes it easy to hear others around you. The way you can raise the volume or skip songs. Its all swiping makes it so much easier than buttons that can break. They are so comfortable I never get tired wearing them and I wear them all day at school or when I workout. 10/10 product worth the money!
