Slightly overrated but overall great
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good after you customize eq to your liking but I must say it’s a little underwhelming anc wise like it’s good don’t get it twisted but not as insane as some people make it seem AirPods Max definitely beats it by quite a bit not being able to customize the anc like in past models also brings it down also the fit while comfortable some times can be crooked because of the way the hinges bend making it look crooked and off centered on your head sometimes which looks dumb if you catch it in the mirror but otherwise it’s good

Posted .Hi CobiD,
We’re glad the custom EQ is hitting the spot for you! The WH-1000XM6 uses an Auto NC Optimizer with our QN3 processor to adjust noise cancellation in real-time, though we understand the preference for more manual control like in previous models. If the new hinge design feels a bit off-center, a quick adjustment of the headband sliders usually helps secure a more balanced fit.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab

The hype is real
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgraded from the XM4s and it's like they're 10 years apart! Transparency actually sounds like it IMPROVES my hearing. These are worth every penny. Love the fit, and I have a big head. Sound is great for me, noise cancelling pushed to the test at a trampoline park on a Saturday.

Great fit
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I usually have trouble with headphones due to them being uncomfortable when wearing glasses but these feel freat even while wearing glasses. The fit is also great, I usually workout with earbuds because headphones slide off but these stay secured to your head without crushing you.
I would recommend this to a friend Sony headset is awesome - excellent for travel
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My previous headset broke a day before a long trip. My local BB had this. I can happily say after multiple airplane trips, these work excellent. The Bluetooth paired easily with my phone and with my computer. The automatic noise canceling (ANC) is superb. The battery life is excellent. I love the right ear control double-tap to pause, swipe to change volume all works great.

Great headphones but a slight upgrade from XM5
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] These are great just like the XM5 were but in my opinion I think the upgrade from the previous model tends to be good better battery, case and new folding cups and background feature.

Posted .Hello MessiIsTheGOAT, thanks for the fantastic review!
We are immensely pleased to hear you're enjoying the WH1000XM6 and noticing the improvements over the XM5. The better battery life, the redesigned case, folding earcups, and new background features –one more enhancement worth nothing is the updated noise cancelling processor, which takes ambient sound control to the next level.
Thanks for appreciating the effort we put on these headphones, and for choosing Sony!
Sincerely,

Excellent to workout at gym
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent headphones !! I recommend for people who go to the gym when the music is blasting so loud! Turn these on, put on noise cancel on the sound connect app, play your music, and you can’t hear the gym background noise!

Worth the upgrade from the XM5!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently ordered the XM5,I liked everything except that they weren’t foldable. So I ended returning them. The XM6 are exactly what I was waiting for. The case is smaller and no longer has a zipper. Probably best case out there. The noise canceling is better than the XM5.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think. Perfect to use noise cancellation in office to do not hear colleagues talks Music is awesome, especially if a source is good/lossless. I slightly disappointed by the ios app because it has, IMHO, a lot of useless features. But if you use it inly for firmware updates - it is fine. I even don't want to try any other headphones had others before), this line is fully satisfied.

Pricey but you get what you pay for
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound and build quality. I listen to mostly heavy metal and I would say they are decent out of the box for heavier music. After adjusting and messing with EQ it’s much better. The noise cancelling is insane and battery life has been great.

Great over ear headphones, but not for me
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these from a lot of the online hype. They truly are great over ear headphones, doing a great job with audio quality and a lot of great bass. The active noise canceling is really strong, and it’s pretty good at automatically switching to transparency mode when it detects you are talking. The pass through audio from your surroundings is crystal clear when that happens. It’s not for me, though, because I was trying these out to see how much better they were than AirPods Pro (2nd gen). To me, the delta was not nearly good enough to warrant something so much larger and harder to travel with (though the case is very nice). AirPods work great for me, so I’m just going to stick to those.
