    These took everything I didn’t like about the XM5s and improved upon them. The hinge system feels very strong and I have not encountered any creaking. With the XM5s if I turned my head the seal around my ears would loosen enough to where outside noise would leak in, with these XM6s I have no issues moving my head around. I preferred the XM4s base but these do quite well over all. There seems to be a clear separation of the lows, mids and highs.

      Thank you for sharing your fantastic feedback, Sammi!

      We are absolutely thrilled to hear that the WH-1000XM6 headphones have improved upon the previous generation in the ways that matter most to you, especially addressing the comfort and seal.

      It’s incredibly rewarding to know that you are finding the redesigned hinge system strong and that the improved acoustic seal maintains your quiet listening experience, even when moving your head. We worked hard on these refinements, and your detailed comparison is a great validation of those efforts.

      We also appreciate your insightful comments on the sound quality. Hearing that you perceive a clear separation across the lows, mids, and highs confirms the detailed, balanced audio we strove to achieve. While the bass signature might be different from the XM4s, we're glad the overall audio performance still impresses.

      Thank you again for choosing Sony's flagship headphones and for providing this excellent, comparative review!

    Smart features disappointing.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    First, the sound quality was excellent. I have never cared for over-emphasized bass of many popular headphones. These stay clear and distinctive, even in a crowded soundscape. The noise cancelation is excellent, even allowing me to lower the volume and listen at a quieter volume without outside noise at the gym drowning out the music. I ended up returning these for a couple of reasons. The smart features on these headphones are not as good as I am used to. My pixel buds have spoiled me for voice detection and auto-pausing, and sensing when I remove the earbuds. The Sonys would detect sound from outside as me speaking and pause randomly. Finally, I have an existing pair of noise canceling headphones which are not as good, but not better enough to justify a $500 purchase. If you have nothing else recent, this is a great place to start. I don't think you will be disappointed.

      It's fantastic to hear that you experienced the clear, distinctive sound quality and excellent noise cancellation that the WH-1000XM6 are renowned for. We're especially pleased that our noise-canceling technology allowed you to enjoy your music at a lower, safer volume, even in a noisy gym environment.

      We also appreciate your honest thoughts on the smart features. We understand that features like Speak-to-Chat and wearing detection, while designed for convenience, can sometimes react unexpectedly in certain environments. We understand your decision to return the headphones, and your feedback on the smart features is very valuable as we continue to refine our technology.

      Thanks for considering Sony products, have a great day!

    These are the best headphones I've ever owned -- and I've had two Bose noise-cancelling sets previously. The sound is clear and the app is great for adjusting the sound to my ear. The noise cancelling works great, and the easy way to temporarily suspend the noise-cancellation to carry on a conversation is super. Very comfortable as well! The range for the wireless connection is also the best I have ever experienced.
