Worth every penny.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best headphones ever. The sound quality and noise cancellation make these top tier headphones. The price point is high because the quality is even higher. They’re lightweight, and stay on my head without giving me a headache. Definitely would recommend as gym headphones or workout headphones.

Yes Yes & Yes
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ok I’m 53, have an iphone and have been a bose fan for YEARS!!! To keep it in perspective, I still have my Bose Ultra earbuds and will never leave. Ive tried every earbud on the market and none come close to the bose for sound, NC, and comfort. The talking is less to be desired but the gen 2 are to be relased later this week and they claim to have fixed the issue. Now onto the Sony XM6. These are by far the best over ear headphones on the market. You’ve probably researched all the reviews on youtube and they are correct. The only thing I would add is to find YOUR best suited EQ settings. This is extremely important. I followed this one guy on IG and he shared his setting and I ‘liked’ the XM6 before the adjustment, now afterwards I will confirm these are a perfect 10. A must have. So yes buy them, yes fix your EQ settings and finally yes you will say I do NOT have buyers remorse. This is just one man’s, in search of the perfect headphones opinion. Thank you for reading.

Posted .Hi Bstavig,
We are beyond pleased to hear that your new WH-1000XM6 headphones are the best you’ve ever owned! Hearing a "10/10" rating for both sound and comfort is the ultimate reward for our design team, who worked tirelessly to refine this latest generation.
To achieve that level of comfort, we reintroduced a foldable design and utilized a wider headband to distribute pressure more evenly during long listening sessions. The exceptional sound quality you're enjoying is powered by our new HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3—which is seven times faster than previous versions! We are really glad that the evolution of our flagship headphones has made such a positive impact on your music.
Thank you for choosing Sony.

Good new headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lost my xm4 and needed a replacement. Overall, a nice upgrade (But if I didnt lose my old headphones, probably would not upgrade). The quality of the sound and ANC is amazing -as expected from Sony. The gestures and controls are similar to other sony devices and intuitive. Pairing to the phone and devices are easy with the App. The case is now clam shell with a clip vs. with a zipper. Overall, good new headphones if you need a new one but not too much changes from the xm4

Owned XM2, XM4, XM5 before buying these.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Literal 5 star review. No hyperbole. I owned the XM2’s then didn’t need a new pair until they died. Those sounded incredible and my experience with them was great. Sticking with the Sony line was worth the cost of admission, so I bought the XM5’s which had just come out. After using them for a few days I returned them. They sounded incredible and much improved over my previous pair, but I hated that they didn’t fold down, plus it seemed the quality of the build was cheaper. I wanted to wait for the release of the XM6’s to see if they improved those concerns in any way, but in the meantime purchased the XM4’s to hold me over. Fast forward about 3 years to now and the XM6’s drop. Purchased them week one and as someone whose owned the XM2, XM4 and XM5 I can confidentally say that these are king of the hill to date. It seems to me if you had anything prior to the XM5, these have noticeable sound improvements and noise cancelling. If you have the XM5 previously, any improvement is not overly obvious to maybe a non-audiophile/obsessive. Maybe the hear through is better a pinch, but the noise cancelling, tuning, and overall sound is not vastly different. However, the build quality seems better and the folding is back. Recommend, that’s for sure, even with the $50 price increase.

Amazing Noise Cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had these headphones for about a month and a half at this point, and I've really enjoyed them from the first time I put them on. They're incredibly comfortable, and I'm able to wear them for hours without issue. The thing that caused me to finally write a review was a recent flight I was on. We were seated above the wing, with the engine not far in front of us, and it was very loud. I put these headphones on and was absolutely stunned by how quiet it was. I couldn't hear any of that noise, but I was still able to hear when an announcement came over the speaker so I could pause what I was listening to and hear it. If you want incredible noise cancelling, these are the headphones to get! Oh yeah, they have great sound quality too!
