    If you skipped the XM5 because they didn't fold or felt flimsy, the XM6 is the upgrade you’ve been waiting for. It’s easily the best all-around headphone on the market right now.

    A downgrade from the WH1000XM5s

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

    As purely a listening device, these sound great, no complaints here. However, the microphone quality has taken a huge nose-dive. Multiple people have reported that I sound like I'm deep underwater now. I'm not sure what's going on with them but never had any issue like this with the previous model. I never had to configure the previous one and I couldn't find any settings to improve the quality. Not everyone is going to use them for that so it might not be a deal-breaker for most and maybe it's something that can be addressed in later firmware, but right now if your intention is using these as a headset, look elsewhere. Another minor annoyance- one thing a lot of reviewers I've seen praise is how these fold unlike the WH1000XM5s- unfortunately I don't think this really adds anything to them and actually makes it a bit harder to put on!

    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

    Love these especially compared to the Bose ultra. The only thing I wish could be done is connecting more than two devices at the same time, as you need to disconnect one to be able to auto switch between more devices.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback, Slav!

      We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you love your WH-1000XM6 headphones, especially when compared to the competition! That is a huge compliment to their sound and noise canceling performance.

      We also appreciate your suggestion regarding connecting more than two devices simultaneously. We understand the convenience of seamlessly auto-switching between multiple sources, and we value this input for future product improvements.

      Thank you again for choosing Sony!

    Well I'll tell you very simply that Bose better watch out because these are really good headphones and I've tried just about everything. The sound is incredible overall and it blocks out the sound and annoys the area making it a very peaceful and calm environment.

    The sound quality is really good, I wouldn't say it is superb, but definitely really good, plus you can play around with the EQ to tune it how you want. Also, if you buy a small receiver, you can use it wirelessly with your PS5, which has several options to enhance audio. Pretty awesome feature with that.
