    Wow, amazing ANC, and the microphones do such a great job even when standing directly in front of a fan and the air current. The 10-band equalizer settings make these a step a above what is already great out of the box. The smart ambient noise option is nice too, especially when walking outside. The dual bluetooth device connection works great too! I’m impressed and would definitely recommend! This is an all around amazing pair of headphones.

    I typically lean to buying Apple stuff because I love the compatibility that the AirPods and everything else have with each other. Saying that, I recently bought the XM6’s and I’ve absolutely loved them. They have great sound quality and noise cancellation. They are also some of the lightest headphones I’ve ever worn. I would say if you had the choice to pick the XM6’s.

      Hi JAKE,

      It brings us great satisfaction to hear that you’re enjoying your new WH-1000XM6 headphones.

      Moving away from a familiar ecosystem can be a big step, so we are especially glad that the exceptional sound quality and industry-leading noise cancellation have made such a positive impression. We also put a lot of focus on engineering a lightweight design for long-term comfort, and it’s wonderful to know they are among the lightest you’ve ever worn.

      Thank you for being a part of the Sony family!

    [Employee of bestbuy] The Sony WH-1000XM6 continues Sony's reign at the top of the noise-canceling headphone market, serving as an iterative masterpiece that addresses the main critiques of its predecessor, the XM5. It is arguably the best all-around travel and productivity headphone available.

    Solid Update from the XM4 as an EDC

    Been using this series of headphones since the XM3s and have seen great improvements since. Purchased the XM6s after having the XM4s for several years. Compared to that model, swift pairing has improved and makes it easy to switch between several devices. Love that this keeps the foldable quality like the XM4s and keeps a smaller profile. Only thing that is an issue is when used is that there are times that the tap control features can randomly be activated (voice assistant/pauses audio) via harsh wind or other factors due to sensitivity. Otherwise, this is a great pick up.

      Hi Letmesee,

      Thanks so much for being a loyal user of the 1000X series and for sharing your detailed feedback on the new WH1000XM6 headphones! It’s great to hear from someone with firsthand experience across multiple generations of the product.

      We're glad that the improvements in swift pairing and the continued focus on a portable, foldable design are making a difference for you.

      We appreciate your feedback on the touch control sensitivity! While it is designed to make the controls highly responsive, it can occasionally lead to these accidental activations. One thing you can try is adjusting the touch panel sensitivity in the Sony | Sound Connect app. You can also temporarily disable the touch controls entirely within the app if you're in a particularly windy environment or on a bicycle ride, for example.

      Thanks again for the great review and for choosing Sony!

      Sincerely,
      Jenn | Sony North America. sony-global

    The noise canceling is very impressive. The sound quality may be a bit behind some competitors. However, in my opinion, the whole package that you get from these headphones is unbeatable. If you can get these on sale, I would say that the other headphones can’t compete. I’ve used these on several flights and it’s even blocked out screaming babies. I recommend these to anyone who needs incredible noise canceling
