    [Employee of bestbuy] I’ve had the Xm5s for about 3 years and they have been wonderful but man the difference from xm5 to the xm6 is just crazy. A lot more comfortable I’d say the case is a lot better as the headphones fold. Best noise cancelation on any by far. I’d say it’s better than the AirPods Max.

      Hi Kartier,

      Thanks for sharing your experience! It's fantastic to hear that the WH-1000XM6 has been such a major upgrade for you, even coming from the excellent XM5s.

      You've highlighted some of the key improvements we focused on with this model, including the enhanced comfort and the return to a folding case design. We know the folding feature was highly requested by our customers, and it's great to hear that you appreciate the change.

      And thank you for the feedback on the noise cancellation. It's a huge point of pride for us, and hearing that you consider it the "best by far" is a fantastic compliment.

      Thanks for choosing Sony!

    I 100% recommend this even if you have the XM5. Huge upgrade on the noise cancellation on the plane. Clamping force is a bit stronger with this one which is really nice, doesn't slip off when I am working out. First day or so my ear was a bit uncomfortable which had me worried but once it "broke in" its been smooth sailing and very comfortable.

      Hi Salman,

      That's absolutely fantastic to hear! We're thrilled you're loving your new WH-1000XM6. It's great to know you're experiencing that huge upgrade in noise cancellation, especially on the plane – that's precisely what we aim for with our industry-leading technology. And we're glad the slightly stronger clamping force is benefiting your workouts by keeping them secure. It's also good to hear that initial discomfort resolved itself, leading to smooth sailing and very comfortable wear.

      Thanks for choosing Sony, have a fantastic day!

    Ok I’m 53, have an iphone and have been a bose fan for YEARS!!! To keep it in perspective, I still have my Bose Ultra earbuds and will never leave. Ive tried every earbud on the market and none come close to the bose for sound, NC, and comfort. The talking is less to be desired but the gen 2 are to be relased later this week and they claim to have fixed the issue. Now onto the Sony XM6. These are by far the best over ear headphones on the market. You’ve probably researched all the reviews on youtube and they are correct. The only thing I would add is to find YOUR best suited EQ settings. This is extremely important. I followed this one guy on IG and he shared his setting and I ‘liked’ the XM6 before the adjustment, now afterwards I will confirm these are a perfect 10. A must have. So yes buy them, yes fix your EQ settings and finally yes you will say I do NOT have buyers remorse. This is just one man’s, in search of the perfect headphones opinion. Thank you for reading.

      Hi Reilly,

      Thank you for the feedback. I've adjusted the previous reply to be shorter while still addressing all your points:

      We are thrilled you love the WH-1000XM6 headphones! We apologize that wearing them with your larger framed glasses causes irritation after extended use. To address the pressure, try adjusting your glasses' arms to rest higher or lower on the ear padding, or gently stretch the headband over a few books overnight to slightly reduce the clamping force.

    Owned XM2, XM4, XM5 before buying these.

    Literal 5 star review. No hyperbole. I owned the XM2’s then didn’t need a new pair until they died. Those sounded incredible and my experience with them was great. Sticking with the Sony line was worth the cost of admission, so I bought the XM5’s which had just come out. After using them for a few days I returned them. They sounded incredible and much improved over my previous pair, but I hated that they didn’t fold down, plus it seemed the quality of the build was cheaper. I wanted to wait for the release of the XM6’s to see if they improved those concerns in any way, but in the meantime purchased the XM4’s to hold me over. Fast forward about 3 years to now and the XM6’s drop. Purchased them week one and as someone whose owned the XM2, XM4 and XM5 I can confidentally say that these are king of the hill to date. It seems to me if you had anything prior to the XM5, these have noticeable sound improvements and noise cancelling. If you have the XM5 previously, any improvement is not overly obvious to maybe a non-audiophile/obsessive. Maybe the hear through is better a pinch, but the noise cancelling, tuning, and overall sound is not vastly different. However, the build quality seems better and the folding is back. Recommend, that’s for sure, even with the $50 price increase.
