Best headphones yet
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well I'll tell you very simply that Bose better watch out because these are really good headphones and I've tried just about everything. The sound is incredible overall and it blocks out the sound and annoys the area making it a very peaceful and calm environment.

Awesome headphones! Definitely recommend.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is really good, I wouldn't say it is superb, but definitely really good, plus you can play around with the EQ to tune it how you want. Also, if you buy a small receiver, you can use it wirelessly with your PS5, which has several options to enhance audio. Pretty awesome feature with that.

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

Thank you for such an honest and powerful review of the WH-1000XM6 headphones!
We're incredibly grateful you decided to give Sony one more try after your experience with the XM5s. Hearing that the XM6s are "bar none the best cans you've owned"—even after owning and comparing them to premium competitors—truly means a lot to us.
It's fantastic to know that the XM6 finally achieved everything you were looking for in over-ear headphones. We're thrilled to have earned back your trust and delivered an exceptional listening experience!
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.

Get these headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Sony XM6’s with added Best Buy plus membership so I could truly test them out. The voice technology is unsurpassed by any other headphone I’ve tried. I talk on my headphones at work, in the car, while working outside and to go to sleep. People report (clearly) being able to hear my voice without any idea of what’s going on around me. The noise cancelling muffles exterior noises so I can focus on who I’m talking or listening to. I returned these headphones to try out the Bose headphones that are the same price and exchanged those for the Sony’s again the next day. The sound tech in these headphones excites me. The 360 sound is something that not even all music applications are capable of, yet. Overall, I am a 150% Satisfied Customer

||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 !
