    These headphones are amazing! The noise canceling is next level – I can throw them on anywhere and it’s like the outside world disappears. The sound quality is super clear with great bass, and everything I listen to just sounds better on these. They’re really comfortable too, even after wearing them for hours. Battery life is awesome – I barely have to think about charging. Pairing is super easy and the touch controls make them simple to use. If you’re looking for headphones that do it all – comfort, sound, and noise canceling – the Sony WH-1000XM6 is totally worth it! I purchased these to replace my Apple AirPod Max, and I’m not disappointed.

    Amazing but Comfort Sacrifice

    Superb sound. My M3's lasted me 8 years with daily use, im hoping to get the same wear and tear out of this pair. My only issue is that the ear cups are smaller than the previous M-generation? and I dont like it, I have quite small ears. But I think the bigger ear cups are roomy and looser for all day use. Granted, these stay better on my head when im upside down in the gym. But other than that, they're barely too small. Ill keep them for the sound, but comfort has sadly sadly gone down for me.

      Thank you for sharing your detailed and honest feedback, Lily!

      We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the superb sound quality of your new WH-1000XM6 headphones! It’s also fantastic to know that your previous M3s lasted an impressive 8 years of daily use; that durability is exactly what we strive for, and we hope you get the same longevity from this pair.

      We truly appreciate you detailing your experience with the ear cup size. We understand that changes to comfort, especially for all-day use, are critical, and we regret that the smaller size compared to the M-generation has slightly reduced your comfort level, despite the improved stability during activities like at the gym. We value this specific feedback immensely and will pass it directly to our design team, as maximizing both comfort and stability is a constant goal.

      We are pleased you’ve decided to keep them for the excellent sound, and we thank you for bringing the comfort issue to our attention.

    Absolutely incredible sound quality; I was not expecting a noticeable difference between the XM5 and XM6 in sound, nor the Bose Quiet Comfort, but it was immediate improvement in clarity on vocals for several tracks. While features like the Cinema mode don't really impress on music, it was certainly nice to watch a movie with, and latency was not a problem. The build quality feels significantly improved over previous Sony models and the carrying case with the magnetic clasp is also an improvement. The hardest pill to swallow on these is the price, but all other features and qualities considered, they feel justified.

    I’ll keep this as short as possible. Sound quality: bass is VERY present, but I wouldn’t consider it muddy Comfortability: very comfortable, I would recommend getting thicker ear pads from a 3rd party seller if you wear glasses Build quality: hasn’t broken so I’m not complaining lol Noise cancellation: legally verified to be the best. What more do you need?

    These are an upgrade from my Bose Qc45 headphones which I liked. Every problem that I thought I would have was not there. I thought the touch controls would be annoying, but it really is not intrusive at all. I thought some of the gestures would feel like a gimmick, but I find myself using them regularly. The build quality seems really good. The sound quality is phenomenal. But most importantly, the noise cancelling is genuinely insane. I have tested it in so many places including a crowded, loud arcade and I genuinely could not hear a thing. I love these headphones and they are definitely worth the purchase.

      Hi Bstavig,

      We are beyond pleased to hear that your new WH-1000XM6 headphones are the best you’ve ever owned! Hearing a "10/10" rating for both sound and comfort is the ultimate reward for our design team, who worked tirelessly to refine this latest generation.

      To achieve that level of comfort, we reintroduced a foldable design and utilized a wider headband to distribute pressure more evenly during long listening sessions. The exceptional sound quality you're enjoying is powered by our new HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3—which is seven times faster than previous versions! We are really glad that the evolution of our flagship headphones has made such a positive impact on your music.

      Thank you for choosing Sony.
