Great experience
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The overall experience was great and a huge upgrade from the xm4s, better noise cancellation and touch controls however if your not looking to spend the price the xm4s have a greater value for the price. Worth it, but not to the point where its the only option !

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality of these headphones are amazing. I have not had one problem with them yet and the noise cancellation works great! They even have their own app that tells you everything you need to know about your headphones. I bring them with me wherever I go. I've also had them since November and have only had to charge them twice! I definitely recommend buying these! They're a great investment!

Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like the product; however, I especially appreciated the support and assistance I received from the young male associate who helped me select the merchandise. He was quite knowledgeable about the products and patiently explained the differences between each one, including features, benefits, and suitable uses. Overall, I was very satisfied with my choice and left very impressed by his product knowledge and his professional expertise. It's a shame I can’t remember his name, but I believe he deserves recognition for his helpfulness and outstanding service during this sale.

Step up from the XM5s
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.To be honest, I thought I was done with Sony after the XM5s. They let me down in a lot of ways (sound quality and the hinge for starters). Then I started seeing leaks for the XM6 and I was like “okay one last try”. I’m very glad I did. These are bar none the best cans I’ve owned. I owned AirPods Max and sold them, had B&W Px7 and gave them away for poor noise cancelling. The XM6 finally achieved everything I was looking for in over-ear headphones

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best headphones i have ever had. sound is amazing, noise canceling is great. the sony app os intuitive, easy to use, and great for cutomizing the headphone opperation. i will say, hand oils and hair oils show up pretty obviously on the darker colors. so maybe go with the lighter one if that matters to you. I still prefer the look of the blue though.

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.

Posted .Hi AlvinA,
Thank you for your review of the WH-1000XM6 headphones. We're happy to hear you find them comfortable and enjoy the great sound quality!
Regarding the noise canceling, a proper seal is crucial for the best performance. We recommend checking the fit and ensuring the earcups fully enclose your ears without any gaps. For further optimization, you can use the Sony | Headphones Connect app to run the "NC Optimizer" function, which tailors the noise canceling to your specific head shape, hairstyle, and even whether you're wearing glasses.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Exceptional experience over QC35s.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Moving to the XM6 from Bose QC35. The sound quality is way superior and the noise cancelling is absolutely amazing. Flew with the XM6 and it was honestly very good. They cancel out all the constant background noises but also human chatter. The ambient sound mode is exceptional as well! Walked around the airport with the headphones on in the ambient mode and could hear all the chatter around me very very clearly.
