Bought this for my boyfriend. His eyes lit up with joy as he enjoyed the superior noise cancellation headphones that is the Sony XM6. He used the included aux cable for his PC and uses Bluetooth for his handheld devices! A truly quality purchase for my gamer friends.

Hi SIMONEP,
It is fantastic to know that the WH-1000XM6 brought such a bright smile to your boyfriend’s face! We designed these headphones to be the ultimate companion for both high-fidelity gaming and mobile immersion, so hearing that he’s making the most of both the wired and Bluetooth connections is wonderful. It’s an honor to provide the "quality purchase" that keeps your gaming world sounding its best.
We really appreciate you making Sony part of your gift-giving and gaming setup.

The XM6’s are the best headphones I’ve ever used, the noise canceling is superb and justify the near 500 dollar price tag, as they nearly block out every noice you can find. The noise canceling cycle is also quite nice when I run they change modes allowing for satisfying noise reduction and production. They are also quite good in the gym as well, and are surely one of the best workout headphones as they are truly hard to have fall, overall the BEST headphones I could ask for.

One of the hinges broke on my Sony - WH1000XM5's. I had planned to purchase the new upgraded Sony - WH1000XM6's on Black Friday 2025 but I purchased them earlier instead. In my opinion, these are the best Sony noise cancellation headphones to date. I only wear them when I am watching my Samsung S95 OLED 4K Smart Television and the sound quality is awesome. It's like being at the movies watching HBO/MAX, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Starz, Showtime, & MGM+.

Great noise cancellation. Comparable to AirPods Max. I wouldn’t recommend taking headphones like these to a humid / wet environment. Be mindful that the pressure of headphones can feel uncomfortable after long periods of use. The features this headset makes this a great option for individuals wanting customized listening experience. I’ve tested these with laptops, and my iPhone, these sound great on all different sources of input.

I really like these headphones for a few reasons. The touch haptic controls make it easy to adjust the volume, and the swipe gestures for changing music are super convenient. Not only do they sound great, but the noise canceling is also excellent — it really helps drown out background sounds. Overall, I’d give them a solid A- (9.5/10).

Honestly these are really good headphones. I did my research and read all the reviews and these always came on top so I had to get a pair. They have really good noise cancellation and sound quality. The only complaint o have is that sometimes the app is finiky and the ear cups are a tad bit small for my large ears but other than that I can easily wear these all day long with minimal discomfort.

Second pair. The case is amazingly frustrating to fit the headphones back into after a long flight. I accidentally left the case on a plane and couldn’t find a second one for cheap so I ordered a replacement case which was huge that is why I got a second pair. Noise cancelling is not as good as Bose but the sound is better. It doesn’t have the fake Bose bass boost. I’m starting to get some cracking from the left side. I can’t tell if it the headphones or the interface. Sometimes it mutes without a reason could be iOS tho their latest updates are junk

The ANC is truly amazing. So is the sound quality, the only thing is its missing a bit of low end base. I did expect these to sound like previous sony hesdphones that had really good bass bus these are missing that festure. I'd give it 4.5 star.

Solid choice — would highly recommend if you are an Android user. However, on iOS the Bluetooth audio quality is slightly compressed with a bit less clarity, and that comes down to Apple not supporting LDAC — a high-quality codec developed by Sony. If you’re on Android, LDAC is absolutely perfect and this headphone shines. But if you’re an Apple user, you may want to look at the AirPods Max 2 instead, as they deliver noticeably more clarity over Bluetooth on iPhone. It’s a platform limitation worth knowing before you buy.

Hi Zach,
We appreciate the recommendation and your detailed feedback regarding codec support! While iOS uses AAC, the WH-1000XM6 features DSEE Extreme technology to upscale compressed audio in real-time, providing high-fidelity sound across all platforms. We're glad you're enjoying the performance on Android!
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Absolutely the best headphones I’ve ever had. My only con would be that the headphones are not Apple ecosystem friendly and if you’re using them for the gym go with the black as it will sweat/dirt immediately.
