As with both of tge other's, they each present " listening" from a different perspective. Not better or worse...just different. You have to choose the perspective that fitscyur taste.

Good audio, bad durability
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think that the audio of this set of headphones is great along side with the noise canceling, however... i cant get behind the fact that the build quality is lacking. It feels like it can snap in half with a slight bend.

Great, if you use your own eq setting
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The stock eq setting it ships with is awful. However, the eq itself is quite comprehensive and you can dial the sound to your taste pretty quickly. DEFINITELY EXPERIMENT WITH EQ because my first impression when I used it for the first time wasn't very good. Then I spent some time tweaking the eq settings and am now very happy with it!

Posted .Hi VishalN,
We are thrilled to hear that after personalizing your settings, you are now very happy with the sound of your WH-1000XM6!
We appreciate you sharing the tip to experiment with the equalizer to find that perfect balance. It is wonderful that you are now enjoying the benefits of High-Resolution Audio and LDAC support, which ensure exceptional sound quality and detail even when listening wirelessly.
Thank you for trusting Sony.

- Pros mentioned:Battery life
Great headset. Not worth the price.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headset with a caveat. The noise cancelling is 100% set to the environment. Wearing for an extended period on a plane, for example, you will notice fluctuations in the noise cancelling frequency and it is quite unpleasant. Nothing you can do in the settings even when you specifically disable that toggle. Seems I’m in the minority here, though. Battery life is EXCELLENT. Its also nice to be able to connect to 2 devices at once. But these are not nearly worth the price.

Posted .Hi str8b8ed,
We're glad to hear you're enjoying the excellent battery life and multipoint connection on your WH-1000XM6 headphones. We apologize for the frustration with the noise-canceling fluctuations on the plane. This behavior is most often caused by the Adaptive Sound Control feature, which we recommend disabling in the Sony | Headphones Connect app to maintain a consistent noise-canceling level. If the issue persists, please ensure you have the latest firmware installed.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Eliab
