Top Tier Sound, Top Tier ANC. A Must Buy.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First time trying a WH-1000XM series headphone and these XM6’s are awesome! The ANC and Transparency modes are top level. With ANC the world around you disappears and with Transparency mode you can hear birds chirping and cars approaching while walking your dog. Sony really out did themselves with these 2 feature. Comfort level is also top notch, I can wear these for hours no problem. The battery life is excellent, up to 30 hours with ANC features turned on. And the sound quality is superb, you can even have a custom EQ with a 10-band slider to get the exact sound you want.

The Best
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] I am a very picky person when it comes to headphones. I have bought and returned many because I am not happy with them. This is the first pair that I will 100% say that I will keep because of how light it is how long the battery life is and how great it sounds. The flexibility of it with the headband with the clamp is great. I work out. It’s a great workout headset. I can sling around all I want and they do not follow my head. I have 100% recommend.

Sony XM6s >>>> Airpods Max and XM5s
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Phenomenal sound clarity; a clear step up even from the XM5s I currently own. ANC is basically unparalleled at this point. When on, entire world is basically on mute (especially while music is playing). Comfort level is great, even if the clamping is a bit stronger than the xm5. Owned a pair of airpods max for a few years, and let me just say as an iphone user, the xm6s blow them out of the water in so many categories that matter most (sound, comfort, portability, ANC). These are by far the best headphones I’ve ever worn and it’s not even close.

One of the best.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are awesome. They are extremely comfy, the battery life is solid and most importantly the SOUND and NOISE CANCELLING are unmatched. You literally can't hear anything when NC is enabled. Easily some of the best headphones I've ever owned.

Posted .Thank you for the review, YvonneT!
It’s great to hear you're enjoying the sound, though we hear you on wanting more volume and bass. Since the WH-1000XM6 is tuned for accuracy, we recommend using the Sony Headphones Connect app to customize the Equalizer (EQ) settings—cranking up the lower frequencies there is the best way to get that extra punch you're looking for!
Thank you for choosing Sony!

||Posted .

Sony really nailed it with the WH-1000XM5. The noise canceling is next-level—perfect for travel, work, or just tuning out the world. Sound quality is super clear and rich, with great bass and balanced tones. They’re also really comfortable, even for long wear, and the battery lasts forever (like 30 hours!). Bonus: they charge fast and have smart features like pausing when you take them off. If you’re on the fence, just get them. You won’t regret it.

Greatest Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best headphones I have ever owned! I am always looking for good quality audio that matches the price, and these ones do. I like the way they fit and are designed. Everything is simple and looks appealing, along with a very simple magnetic case to go with it. The button designs are obvious which is nice to click the right ones on the left side. The right side has amazing swiping features that make it easy to change the music or video without needing to click the device. The app is also amazing as it has incredible features and customizations. I like the one where when I take off the headphones it will pause whatever I’m listening to. Not to mention the best part which is the noise cancellation, nothing beats it. Overall I’m very happy with the product and everything it has to offer!

Pricey, but worth every penny.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I found these amazingly comfortable and extremely effective at reducing airplane noise. The battery life is phenomenal as well. If I had to pick at anything, it’s the case that I’m not fond of. While I’m happy it’s there as competitors don’t include one, you have to contort the headphones to get them in the case. And if they are not placed in the case perfectly the case won’t close but again I am nitpicking.

Amazing Noise Cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had these headphones for about a month and a half at this point, and I've really enjoyed them from the first time I put them on. They're incredibly comfortable, and I'm able to wear them for hours without issue. The thing that caused me to finally write a review was a recent flight I was on. We were seated above the wing, with the engine not far in front of us, and it was very loud. I put these headphones on and was absolutely stunned by how quiet it was. I couldn't hear any of that noise, but I was still able to hear when an announcement came over the speaker so I could pause what I was listening to and hear it. If you want incredible noise cancelling, these are the headphones to get! Oh yeah, they have great sound quality too!

Posted .Hi CaptainKirk86,
We are beyond pleased to hear that the WH-1000XM6 made your recent flight so much more peaceful! It is fantastic to know that the new QN3 processor and 12-microphone system effectively silenced that engine noise while still allowing you to stay connected to important announcements. We are also glad that the all-day comfort we designed into this model is making your long listening sessions so enjoyable.
Thank you for trusting Sony.

Great audio and noise cancellation as usual
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony XM6s offer a fantastic audio experience with great sound and top-tier noise cancellation. You'll love the awesome battery life, and the "hear-through" mode works perfectly without making you dizzy. Just keep in mind they're not ideal for hot environments because they can make you sweaty, and the hinges might take a bit of getting used to. Still, they're a solid choice for their premium sound and features.
