Sony WH1000XM6
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Replaced my old over the ear headphones for the Sony 6. Perhaps it’s me but I think you should have the option to listen a little louder. But the background option is a great feature. And the case is perfect for on the go. Just snaps into place.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise canceling is next-level, works so well it softens the world even with no music playing. Our 2019 Sony WH-XB900N headphones are still going strong, but we had to try these. Sound and bass are comparable, with a slight upgrade you can feel.

Great headphones

Posted .Hi Juan,
Thank you for the 5-star review! We're so happy to hear that your new WH-1000XM6 headphones are a huge improvement over the WH-1000XM4. It's fantastic that you're noticing a big difference in both the noise cancellation and the touch controls, as those were key areas of focus for us.
The enhanced performance, especially for phone calls and the touch controls, is thanks to a major upgrade in the core technology. The WH-1000XM6 features the new HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3, which is seven times faster than its predecessor and utilizes 12 microphones—1.5 times more than the previous model. This new processor and microphone system work together in real-time to more effectively block out unwanted sounds and isolate your voice for crystal-clear calls, making a noticeable difference in your daily use.
Thanks for choosing Sony, have an excellent day!

Extremely uncomfortable/ headband snapped.
|Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] Sound quality, big upgrade from the xm5 noise cancellation is absolutely amazing. The fact that they can fold again. Sososo good. The case is beautiful. They are however awful to wear. The earcups are teeny tiny, and have protrusions inside them that can actually touch your ear if you have larger ears. The foam on the earculs is extremely thin as well, which helps with heat but not with comfort. The main issue with comfort though is the top headband. It literally doesnt feel like it has foam in it at all, i couldnt wear these headphones for more than like five minutes without them actually hurting. I took them off once and the hadband snapped up. I was able to snap it back in place , which was crazy to me, but from them oj it made a creaking sound. I returned these and went back to my xm5. The sound quality and anc upgrade isnt worth nkt bejng able to wear them. My advice is to go into the store and try them on. Spend some time wearing them at the display. See if they hurt your head.

Posted .Hi Rikku, we're genuinely sorry that the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones did not provide the comfort you required, despite the significant enhancements in sound quality, active noise cancellation (ANC), and the reintroduction of the foldable design. We understand that the small earcups, thin earcup foam, and particularly the discomfort from the headband made them unwearable for long-term use for you.
Your detailed feedback, including the issue with the headband snapping and creaking, is extremely valuable. We genuinely appreciate you taking the time to experience the product and provide such a thorough review. Your insights, especially the recommendation for potential customers to try them on in-store are crucial, and we'll definitely share your feedback with our development team for future improvements. We're happy you returned to the WH1000XM5 and are still enjoying the magnificent sound. Thank you for considering Sony! Best regards, -Dominick

Only thing I don’t like is the earcups. Not enough cushion and looks cheap, along with it not being able to get wet. Besides that I think the price should have been $100 less due to those

||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Some of the best headphones Ive owned. Seamlessly switches connections without issue. Might be uncomfortable if you have big ears and the pads dont keep the first parts that far off your head. Battery life is amazing as well.
