XM6 > AirPods Max
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought AirPods Max on tax free weekend, returned them due to how heavy they are (literally headache inducing in my case) and heard good things about these so figured I’d give them a shot. Overall great decision. AirPods do sound better but not by much and everything else these do just as good or better.

Sony Stands Tall!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall Sony XM6 stands equally besides Bose Ultra Headphones. Features of Sony indubitably beats the Bose apps, due to its robust equalizer, immersive sound, and a bit better noise cancelling technically. I would recommend Sony, if you like touch control features (though a bit finicky) at time than button controls in Bose.

One of the best headphone I ever had
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Being one of the loyal bose fan for decades, Sony XM6 made me switch. Specifically, audio quality 9/10, comfort 10/10, battery 10/10, ease of use 9/10, one of the best thing i like about the XM6 is that you can wear it for an extended workout, although it will get slightly sweaty but its really comfortable and secured.

Posted .Hi KevinWu,
It is truly heartened to learn that a long-term audio enthusiast such as yourself found the switch to the Sony WH-1000XM6 so rewarding.
Earning a "10/10" for comfort and battery life is high praise, and we are especially glad to hear that the fit remains secure even during your extended workouts. While we always recommend a quick wipe-down after a sweat session to keep those pads in top shape, it’s great to know the ergonomics are providing the stability you need to stay focused on your fitness goals. Your breakdown of the audio quality and ease of use is incredibly helpful for other listeners looking to make a change.
Thank you for trusting Sony to power your workouts and your daily listening.

Dominick

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They're not bad regarding sound quality, but when you want headphones and want to blast your music and don't want others to be able to hear what you're listing to, these aren't it. They're good tho I recommend them.

No headphone can cancel high pitched sounds.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Yes, these will cancel noise but they don't cancel extremly loud noises like yelling/ screaming or high pitched sounds like a squealing dryer. No headphones can cancel these sounds.

Posted .Hi Raymond,
We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. You are exactly right—while our industry-leading noise-canceling technology is designed to drastically reduce ambient sounds like airplane engines or office chatter, sudden, high-pitched, or extremely loud noises can still be difficult to eliminate completely. We are glad to hear they are working well for your general noise-canceling needs!
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Bass is incredible and Cinema mode is great!!
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] Cinema Mode is a game changer where I can watch a movie or a tv show and actually feel like Im watching it in in a personal theater. The Bass is solid and defenitly worth the price compared to the apple air pod max. Also can use the aux cord if you want which is another kind gesture from Sony
