Sony 1000XM6
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are aesthetically pleasing to look at and sound amazing. I recently lost a pair of headphones in Tokyo and needed a replacement quick. I did allot of research on Youtube and the XM6’s were highly regarded, which made my decision allot easier. These feel great on my head and over my ears. The noise cancelling function on these headlhones is excellent for the type of environments I’m engaged in. I’m sfill learning about the XM6’s functionality, but for now I’m really happy with this purchase.

Posted .Hi SofiaB,
It’s incredible to see such a long-standing history with our brand, and we could not be more pleased to hear that the WH-1000XM6 is continuing that legacy for you!
We designed this generation specifically to balance that deep, powerful bass with a more travel-friendly, foldable design, so it’s wonderful to know the portability and secure fit are making your daily life easier. It sounds like you’ve mastered the touch controls as well—there’s nothing quite like the convenience of managing your music with just a swipe.

XM4 vs XM6
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let me start off by saying… these headphones are really nice and techy. They have a lot of update features in comparison to the XM4’s and a tighter fit on the head. They also have a smoother transition in between devices and no speaker pops or cracks. However, they were too tight for my head and I did not enjoy the AI feature of the headphones. The voice became quite annoying and the headphones were so tight that they caused a headache. I also noticed that they may have been quieter, in comparison to the XM4’s. If you want some headphones more on budget, go for the XM4’s, as they are really high-quality as well. If you can afford the XM6’s, stick with them. Skip straight over the XM5’s, as they have a lot of faulty designs.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I delayed buying a pair of over the ear headphones. I researched, I hemmed and hawed. I went in and tested. But, am I glad I got these. They sound great, the app makes customization relatively easy. Do yourselves the favor for a great audio experience and pick these up if you are in the market.

Sony headphone review
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I must admit the Sony headphones have incredible sound performance. It has increased my headphone usage, and has made the experience much more enjoyable. The fit across the head is comfortable and when bending over the headphones actually stay in place that is a big plus. Also when exercising and during vigorous workouts there is little to no movement of the headphones. Lastly most definitely not least the comfort of the ear cushions are phenomenal. I would recommend to others and purchase again if necessary.

Great EDC headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are really nice. I still have the XM4 and I like them for connecting to my Sony TV. These don't see to connect as well. With the xm4 I can control both tv volume and headphone separately..perhaps firmware updates will change that. Because I have both, it's not a big deal. One stays at home (XM4) and these bad boys are my EDC.

Posted .Hi AddieB,
We are elated to hear that your new WH-1000XM6 headphones have earned a spot as your go-to "everyday carry." It is wonderful to see them joined with your XM4s to create the ultimate Sony audio duo.
Regarding the connection with your Sony TV, we recommend unpairing the headphones from your TV and then pairing them again to refresh the link. This often resolves synchronization and volume control quirks. We are constantly working on firmware improvements, so please ensure both your headphones and TV are running the latest software versions for the best experience.
Thank you for being such a loyal member of the Sony family.

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.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
I would recommend this to a friendComfortable headphones with good battery life
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable to use even for long sessions and very good battery life. I feel overall base can be improved but overall having very experience.
I would recommend this to a friendgreat battery + sound, some manufacture defects
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these headphones and the battery life is amazing. Used it for 5 days without needing to charge. The noise cancel seems to be the same as the xm5 didn't notice much of a difference. The headphones can rotate so the cuffs are pointing in which is better than the xm5 because there were times when it would accidentally start tapping and playing a song or whatever. I like how they still give the option to use a jack if wired is your thing or you can't charge it but want to still use them. The issue's I've had seem to be more from the manufacturing. I had to return it after a week because the headphones had a consistent crackling sound and when I checked online I saw this was a common issue. The second pair i got I hear white noise occasionally which I was told are the microphones adjusting for noise cancelling. My second set also had issues with the different NC levels with the left side letting in more noise than the right. I've heard it's due to possible dust and debris which Is weird because I've only had this second pair for a week and kept it in the case. Might have to return this one too as I can't seem to fix the NC leaking on the left ear.
