Sony XM6
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is very good and seems to be best on the market right now or on par with the Airpods Max. Only issue is that the spatial audio is not very good.

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.

Can be stolen easily/no gps
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It doesn't have GPS or any way to track it, so my first pair was stolen at the gym I go to and there's no way to track it, plus these aren't as comfortable as the previous version, in terms of sound and noise cancellation they are incredible, I would give them a 9/10

Sony XM6's
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good pair of headphones with great sound quality, I think they sound too muddy. I use a pair of air pods max and I feel like the sound quality doesn't compare unless you like a more bassy sound. Airpods have a more balance sound. Great build quality and very nice case. Simply wasn't for me.

Nice headphones, but a bit pricey
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these for my college student. Nice headphones with decent sound and noise cancelling. I also have 2 pairs of Bose QuietComfort. I don’t think the So us are substantially better to justify the higher cost.

The Best for Trebles/ANC, But Bass Enjoyers Beware
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While the XM6s have technically superior active noise cancelling and definition on higher frequencies like trebles and mids, they lack the excellent, impactful bass of previous generations like the XM3 and XM4. Equalization efforts do not fix this. If bass is important to you, I would recommend checking out the previous generations instead (but avoiding the XM5s as their bass is also muddy and weak). If high frequency clarity or noise cancelling are most important to you instead, then the XM6s do perform better, but at a much steeper price tag.

We sincerely apologize for any disappointment you’ve experienced with the bass performance compared to previous models. We appreciate your insights, as they help us improve our products and better serve our customers.
In addition to adjusting the equalizer settings, we recommend checking the fit of your headphones, as a snug fit can enhance bass perception. Additionally, ensuring that the headphones are fully charged can positively affect performance, as battery levels can influence sound quality.
Thank you for considering Sony products and for your thoughtful input.

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!
