Sony XM6
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Sony XM6 headphones and I love them. The noise cancellation is great, the sound is clear with strong bass, and the battery lasts all day. The only downside is that sometimes they randomly turn off even when they’re not dead.

Posted .Thank you for the fantastic review, GloriaM!
We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your new WH-1000XM6 is delivering the clear sound, strong bass, and top-tier noise cancellation you expect from Sony. It’s wonderful to know the battery life is keeping up with your daily routine! We are sorry to hear about the random power-offs, but this is often just a setting called "Automatic Power Off" that can be adjusted in the Sony | Headphones Connect app to keep them on even when they don't detect movement.
If that doesn't solve it, please reach out to us at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones so we can make sure your experience is 100% seamless. Thank you for choosing Sony!

Best in-class ANC and more durable hinges
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these to the place my aging XM3 from Sony. The XM3 lasted me for over 3 years now and they are fantastic. The hinges on those headphones were cracking so I decided to replace them with these XM6. The noise cancellation on the new headphones is superior, the hinges are designed much better, and they are more comfortable on the ear. I especially like the adaptive noise canceling feature that adjusts the noise cancelation and ambient noise based on your surroundings. The Bluetooth connection is strong and you can connect to two sources at the same time. The included hard case is strong and durable for travel. The only negative about these headphones is the cost. Perhaps during Black Friday, they will go lower.

The Best
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've tried all types of headphones, and these are the best when combining sound, comfort, and noise cancellation. The LDAC codec lets you listen to HD quality music with almost any Android phone. If you have an iPhone, there is a small adapter you can buy on Amazon from Questyle.

Posted .Hi DarylD,
It’s rewarding to hear that after testing various models, you have found our latest flagship headphones to be the ultimate benchmark for audio, comfort, and silence!
To achieve this level of performance, we integrated the all-new HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3, which operates seven times faster than its predecessor to optimize 12 individual microphones in real-time. This processing power ensures that our industry-leading noise cancellation adapts instantly to your environment, while the carbon fiber composite 30mm drivers deliver the studio-quality precision that audiophiles expect. We are also glad you mentioned the LDAC support; by allowing for a transmission rate of 990 kbps, we ensure that High-Resolution Audio is preserved wirelessly, giving you the richest possible soundscape regardless of your device.
Thank you for choosing Sony and for sharing your helpful setup tips with the community!

Me and my big head :D
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a very large head, and I have to say that these fit me excellently. The sound really vibrates in my ears and in my soul as well. Turning off noise cancellation proved to be a little bit troublesome, but overall it was easy. I am thinking of getting the white one as well.

Excellent Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are comfortable and sound great. Allowing ambient noise actually amplifies background noise, but it helps to be able to hear yourself talk to not shout at people when using as a headset. They do an amazing job with background noise cancellation. To test my wife was yelling in the room near me and the people on the other end of a meetings call couldn’t hear her at all. However, rocking motions forward and back will result in the noise cancellation causing you to cut in and out. Normal movement is fine though. The magnetic carrying case is much nicer than the previous generations. I also appreciate the ability to feel the difference between the round power button and the oblong feature button. I’m not a fan of the touch controls on the right cup as sometimes they can be a little wonky, but they work way better than on my old XM4s. Overall I highly recommend these headphones and believe it would be hard to find a better pair when caring about sound quality and usage as a headset.

Nice sound quality and comfortable to wear
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super comfortable and good sound quality. I like that they brought back the folding feature. I just wish I could keep the ambient sound mode on instead of having it switch back to noise cancellation mode automatically.

Premium performance at a premium price
|Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.People are going to complain about the price and they are correct the price is substantial. With that said, they are hundred percent worth it. You get class leading noise canceling and comfort with very decent sound out of the box that can be tuned in the incredible app to be almost perfect for any listening preference. The included case is very well made, and the magnetic latch is genius because it allows easy and fast access to the headphones. The only problem I have is a nitpick, and that is the build quality is a slight downgrade when compared to other headphones like the bose qc ultra and sonos ace, but the xm6's still feel decent just not as premium. So, if you want the overall best everyday headphones, the xm6's are currently unmatched in the current headphone landscape.
