Best Sony noise cancelling headphones yet
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Sony headphones yet, improved on all of the previous versions. I had the XM4's, and skipped on the XM5's because of hinge issues and the sound was not as good. Now the XM6's incorporate the foldable design from the XM4's, and also the sound is way better, super well balanced, treble and midrange is clear, bass is balanced. The XM4's had bad treble and midrange clarity but the XM6's improved on that. The bass on the XM6's is also not as boomy as the XM4's. Good upgrade

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.

Sony XM6
||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!

Quality unmatched for student
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been daily driving these for the last year and they have blown me out of the water with their sound. Before this I used to have some IEM’s that I love and still use but with them being wired it was sometimes difficult for me to use when I needed to let my phone charge but still needed to be able to move freely. So I hunted around looking for something wireless that gave me the sound quality I wanted. I then found the XM6’s that even have this amazing noise cancellation alongside unmatched sound quality I haven’t seen with any other wireless sets. For reference I had a roomate last year that snored very loudly at night and it seemed like nothing could block it out except when I put these on allowing me to focus. They are a very comfortable fit and they have an extremely long battery life alongside a very quick charging and even allowing you to still use them while charging. These are 10/10 in my book and if my current pair ever stopped working I would instantly run and buy a new pair because I seriously couldn’t imagine not having these everyday they are one of my best purchases ever made.

Going from loved IEMs to wireless can be a tough transition when it comes to sound quality, so we are absolutely thrilled to hear the WH-1000XM6 blew you away! It is awesome that they completely saved the day with that heavy-duty noise cancellation against a loud roommate, too.
Hearing that they've become an indispensable part of your daily routine completely makes our day. Thank you so much for choosing Sony!

Good with flaws
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Closer to 4.5 stars, but rounding down. It's a great set of headphones and the ANC is incredible. They comfortable and the battery is great. My biggest gripes are the build quality and the price. The headphones feel premium in some ways, but the hinges feel suspect and worry about their longevity.

Noticeable upgrade from the WH1000XM5
|Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] Noticeable upgrade from the WH1000XM5. - Sound quality is a bit better, while keeping the custom EQ on the app. - ANC is clearly more effective - Having a round button for power and keeping the old long strip for ANC toggle is such a minor change but makes it so much better to use, no more getting the 2 mistaken for each other - They might not fold as much as the WH1000XM4 did, but at least different from the XM5 they do fold again which makes the footprint smaller, both in or out of the case
