Best Noise Cancelling Ever!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just got the new Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones, and they're fantastic. The noise cancellation is truly next-level and the sound quality is crisp and powerful, especially for music with strong bass. They're also really comfortable to wear for long periods. The new foldable design and sturdy case are a big plus for traveling. While they are a bit pricey, the performance and features make them worth every penny.

Not an expert, but these are amazing
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Been looking for a pair of overear headphones for a while now, and had settled with the Sony Ult Wear for a time. Did enjoy those, enjoyed the noise cancelling and sound quality, and finally decided to pull the trigger on these after seeing the sale price at under $500. All I can say is I was absolutely blown away. Noise cancelling is superb, and although I know nothing about if it's actually the best in the world, I can definitely say that it's better than any other headphones I've ever owned. Like it's almost not even close. On top of that, the touch controls are smooth and responsive, even when the headphones are a touch dirty from me wearing them at work (Diesel mechanic, so yes, they get filthy lol). Sound quality is amazing. Really feels like it can be fine tuned to whatever the users liking is, or at least it's had enough options for someone who's into music but not a full on audiophile. All in all, would say they're worth it for anyone who wants to enjoy music on a deeper level. I would say if you're not using Lossless audio on Spotify or the higher end audio types, you probably won't take full advantage of these, but they're an amazing listening experience nonetheless.

Great audio and noise cancellation as usual
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony XM6s offer a fantastic audio experience with great sound and top-tier noise cancellation. You'll love the awesome battery life, and the "hear-through" mode works perfectly without making you dizzy. Just keep in mind they're not ideal for hot environments because they can make you sweaty, and the hinges might take a bit of getting used to. Still, they're a solid choice for their premium sound and features.

Amazing sound
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is by far the best headphones i have ever owned. Sony knocked it out of the park with this one. The sound is amazing with the presets out of the box but customized eq is even better. The noise canceling is amazing. They fit really good on my ears even during long listening sessions. Voice controls are handy also.

Great sound and comfort
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been really impressed with the XM6. The sound is clear with deep bass and balanced highs, and the noise cancelling works really well in everyday use. They’re lightweight and comfortable enough to wear for hours without pressure. Battery life easily lasts me through the day. Overall, it feels like a big step up from my old pair and worth the price.

Best Headphones I have ever used
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is awesome. If you are an artist, or maybe you need a traveling companion, this is the real deal. The battery lasts more than 48hrs with a full charge. A friend recommended it to me, I was hesitant in gettin it but I am so happy i got it. It filters noises so very much more tuan any of the headphones I have ever used. So I strongly recommend it.

World Class ANC - BUT check the fit first!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Having upgraded to the Sony WH-1000XM6, I am incredibly impressed by the active noise cancellation. It completely silences low-frequency drone noises and takes a massive chunk out of high-pitched city sounds like sirens. The audio profile is classic Sony—punchy, bass-forward, and deeply immersive, though highly customizable via the app if you prefer a flatter sound. Microphone quality for calls is crisp and clear, making them excellent for work-from-home setups. My only real complaint is the comfort. While the ear cups are plush, the clamping force is a bit tight out of the box, and the headband created a noticeable pressure point on the top of my head during long listening sessions. If you can stomach the steep price tag and don't mind a slightly snug fit, these are arguably the best ANC headphones on the market.

We are so glad to hear the incredible noise canceling, immersive sound, and crisp mic quality are hitting the mark for your work setup!

Sony xm6000
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Before buying the Sony XM6, I compared them with the Apple AirPods Max. I honestly felt the Sony headphones were much better. The noise cancellation has very minimal low humming sound, and the cinematic mode along with the overall audio quality is excellent. I also love how lightweight and comfortable they feel. The only drawback is that they don’t look as premium as the AirPods Max. But apart from that, the sound quality, adaptive noise cancellation, and cinematic sound experience are awesome.

Posted .Thank you for the fantastic review, SiddantharaoN!
It’s great to hear that after a side-by-side comparison, the WH-1000XM6 won you over. We take a lot of pride in our Adaptive Noise Cancellation, and it's wonderful that you’re noticing that nearly silent floor compared to other premium options. We also appreciate the feedback on the design—while we prioritize a lightweight, foldable build for all-day comfort and travel, we know that aesthetic tastes vary!
The Cinema Mode is one of our favorite new additions for 2025, and we're thrilled it’s giving you that immersive experience you were looking for.

Love everything about them
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I typically lean to buying Apple stuff because I love the compatibility that the AirPods and everything else have with each other. Saying that, I recently bought the XM6’s and I’ve absolutely loved them. They have great sound quality and noise cancellation. They are also some of the lightest headphones I’ve ever worn. I would say if you had the choice to pick the XM6’s.

Sony has a winner here!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best headphones I've ever owned -- and I've had two Bose noise-cancelling sets previously. The sound is clear and the app is great for adjusting the sound to my ear. The noise cancelling works great, and the easy way to temporarily suspend the noise-cancellation to carry on a conversation is super. Very comfortable as well! The range for the wireless connection is also the best I have ever experienced.
