Gift for sibling
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these Sony headphones as a Christmas gift for my sister, and they turned out to be one of the best gifts I’ve given. The sound quality is incredibly clear and balanced, with deep bass and crisp vocals, and she noticed the difference immediately compared to her old pair. She uses them daily now for music, calls, and travel. The comfort level is excellent — she wears them for hours without any ear fatigue, and the padding feels premium. The noise cancellation is also very impressive and blocks out background noise far better than expected. Setup was quick and easy, and the battery life has been outstanding so far. Overall, this felt like a high-quality, reliable gift that was truly appreciated. I’d definitely recommend these Sony headphones to anyone looking for a great mix of sound, comfort, and performance — especially if you’re buying for someone special.

Absolutely
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I never thought that the XM4s would ever be outclassed, but these take the cake by a mile. Going back to my XM4s while at the gym is an insane difference in sound quality, clarity and "space". The "space" of the sound for the XM4s is like this: "| |", but for the XM6s its more like this: "| |". Way better. My ONLY complaint is that the pads on the XM6s are a little too thin, but with 3rd party companies working on replacement pads that'll be a non-issue soon. 10/10.

A great experience
||Posted .

The background noise setting is great for getting work done without losing focus on noise. Being able to connect to two devices at once is nice but the app doesnt always connect right away for controls

WH-1000XM6
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s too of the line when it comes to noise canceling comparable to the Bose headsets with different the pads are more comfortable on the Sony. Quality of sound is great but nothing exceptional as it is comparable to Apple or Bose headsets . It has different modes like Cinema etc that add more depth to it.

Better
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Much better than XM4 and XM5. However, it still feels cheap-ish and the color isn't what I expected. ANC is very decent, audio is great but not the best, though that's personal preference. Great battery life.

Great sound, but…
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Christmas present. Daughter said sound was amazing and the ability to adjust overall sound was great. She like how the headphone controls work and the seamless integration with all her devices. Downside - because of how the headphones fold , they would not stay “square” on her head. They had a tendency to “twist” while she was wearing them which she found very annoying. Eventually returned & got Bose QV Ultra 2nd Fen.

Improvement over the xm5, still has app issues
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound quality and interface, improvement over the build of the xm5 as a physical structure. App interface with the phone is a little bit more laggy than the previous iteration, this might get fixed with software updates, unclear.

Posted .Hi NMoon,
We are immensely pleased to hear that you are enjoying the excellent sound quality and the refined physical build of the new WH-1000XM6!
Regarding the app performance you mentioned, we want to ensure your interface experience is as smooth as your listening. To resolve the lag you're seeing, we recommend clearing the cache within your phone's app settings. If that doesn't do the trick, a fresh start by uninstalling and then reinstalling the Sony | Headphones Connect app often resolves these types of software hiccups. This should help the app's responsiveness match the premium performance of the headphones themselves.
Thank you for making Sony part of your daily listening.
Best regards,
Dominick
