Greatest Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best headphones I have ever owned! I am always looking for good quality audio that matches the price, and these ones do. I like the way they fit and are designed. Everything is simple and looks appealing, along with a very simple magnetic case to go with it. The button designs are obvious which is nice to click the right ones on the left side. The right side has amazing swiping features that make it easy to change the music or video without needing to click the device. The app is also amazing as it has incredible features and customizations. I like the one where when I take off the headphones it will pause whatever I’m listening to. Not to mention the best part which is the noise cancellation, nothing beats it. Overall I’m very happy with the product and everything it has to offer!

Great pair of headphones to invest in.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great pair of headphones. Light weight, easy on the head grip, and customizable L/R tap settings. Noise canceling is 10/10, although these are my first pair of NC headphones. I work as a fisheries technician and I wore these during an electrofishing trip, which entails netting fish off a boat with a loud generator. Could barely hear the generator. The app, which is optional, is very helpful as well. Long battery life.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your fantastic review, DerrickL!
We are thrilled to hear that you consider the WH-1000XM6 a great pair of headphones! It’s wonderful that you appreciate the comfortable design elements, like the lightweight feel and easy head grip, as well as the customizable L/R tap settings.
We are especially delighted to hear about your experience as a fisheries technician. Putting the Noise Cancelling to the test during an electrofishing trip against a loud generator, and finding the performance to be 10/10—barely hearing the noise—is a powerful validation of our technology!
We are also glad you found the companion app helpful and that you are benefiting from the long battery life.
Thank you again for choosing Sony for your demanding audio needs!

Solid upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgraded from the W4 to this model. I wouldn’t say that it’s vastly different but the changes they did make are appreciated. Love the noise cancelling. The new case and folding option. Battery life is fantastic. Build feels solid. I use this everyday for work and the gym. Connections between my iPhone pro max and Dell work laptop are seamless. The upgraded sound connect is good if you are into customization and tinkering with your electronics. The blue color does smudge up with fingerprints. That would be my only issue.

Premium sound and Comfort
|Posted .

These are the second set of Sony XM6 headphones I have one for myself and one as gift. Overall, a premium upgrade that feels worth every dollar.

Not disappointed at all
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound and super comfy! I’ve been using these headphones for a while now and I’m honestly impressed. The sound quality is amazing — super clear with deep bass and crisp highs. Noise cancelling is top-notch too; it really blocks out background chatter or plane noise. They’re also surprisingly lightweight and comfortable, even for long listening sessions. Battery life lasts ages, and the quick charge feature is a lifesaver. Overall, they just feel premium and perform even better. Definitely worth it if you’re looking for a reliable pair of everyday or travel headphones!

Best noise cancellation on the market
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first pair of bluetooth headphones with noise cancellation I've purchased. I spent plenty of time watching reviews and comparisons of other bluetooth headsets with noise cancellation. Once I tried these on at my local Best Buy, I immediately could tell how much quieter the NCS was on this model compared to Bose and others on the market. Also comes with a beautiful carrying case and the battery seriously lasts forever in these things. I really love how you can also EQ how the headset sounds via the app that connects the device to your phone. You can also connect these headphones to multiple outputs at the same time (ie, my laptop and my phone) so I can seamlessly listen to anything on either device easily. Perfect purchase for those long flights. Will probably be using this pair for years to come.

One of the best headphones on the market
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony WH-1000XM6 stands out as one of the best headphones on the market thanks to its unbeatable combination of features. First, its industry-leading noise cancellation blocks out almost all background noise, making it perfect for travel, work, or daily use. The sound quality is rich, with deep bass, clear vocals, and customizable EQ settings for personal preference. Comfort is another highlight. With soft ear cushions and a lightweight design, you can wear them for hours without discomfort. Battery life is excellent too—up to 30 hours with noise canceling on, plus a quick charge feature for extra convenience. Sony also packed in smart features like Speak-to-Chat, wear detection, and multi-device pairing, making the XM6 super user-friendly. Add in crystal-clear call quality and a sleek, stylish design, and it’s easy to see why the Sony WH-1000XM6 remains at the top.

Very Nice Upgrade
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a pair of XM5's and those were amazing. These are even better. Foldable design makes them more compact and easier to travel. Magnet clasp on carrying case is very nice. I guess i never realize the tine it took to zip and unzip the XM5's. Nice ease of use upgrade. The ANC and transparancy modes are even better than the XM5s. The head band and ear cups feel soft, comfortable and dont cause any discomfort even after a four hour listening session. Overall amazing. As for cons there is an ANC mike in the center of the inside earcups that protrudes out a bit. I am hoping as I wear the ear cups in, this will not cause discomfort. Price increase to $450 from $400 for the XM5's was not welcomed. But I guess the price of everything is going up price wise.

Great noise cancellation and sound quality!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent upgrade , even if coming from a the XM5s. I use these all day at the office for Teams and Zoom calls and the battery life is great! The sound quality is excellent. My coworkers mentioned I sounded robotic when I walked away downstairs to the kitchen, about 40+ feet away, which is expected. But I was still connected and could hear them fine. When I'm within the appropriate BT range, I have zero issues with them. The noise cancellation is 2nd to none! One minor complaint, be careful when removing them from the carry case and unfolding them. When I first opened them, I got pinched on the finger and it's a pretty sharp pinch. I am glad they fold again, as the carry case is smaller. I also use them with an External DAC for Qobuz FLAC audio. I have a Dense Audio DAC and they sound even better when using that 3.5mm hard wired cable to the DAC.

Pricey, but worth every penny.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I found these amazingly comfortable and extremely effective at reducing airplane noise. The battery life is phenomenal as well. If I had to pick at anything, it’s the case that I’m not fond of. While I’m happy it’s there as competitors don’t include one, you have to contort the headphones to get them in the case. And if they are not placed in the case perfectly the case won’t close but again I am nitpicking.

Excellent Upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I came from the Airpods Max and couldnt be happier. The AirPods Max never felt like the best-in-class in either ANC or sound quality generally. I was holding off on the XM5 until the XM6 and ended up trading in the AirPods Max. The build quality on these is wonderful and they are much lighter than the Max. Sound quality is another level and the ANC is amazing. They are also much more comfortable to wear than the Max. The travel case is also excellent. I haven’t played around with the accompanying app much but it looks like it has some cool features. Really happy with my purchase!

Top Tier Sound, Top Tier ANC. A Must Buy.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First time trying a WH-1000XM series headphone and these XM6’s are awesome! The ANC and Transparency modes are top level. With ANC the world around you disappears and with Transparency mode you can hear birds chirping and cars approaching while walking your dog. Sony really out did themselves with these 2 feature. Comfort level is also top notch, I can wear these for hours no problem. The battery life is excellent, up to 30 hours with ANC features turned on. And the sound quality is superb, you can even have a custom EQ with a 10-band slider to get the exact sound you want.

Sony XM6s >>>> Airpods Max and XM5s
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Phenomenal sound clarity; a clear step up even from the XM5s I currently own. ANC is basically unparalleled at this point. When on, entire world is basically on mute (especially while music is playing). Comfort level is great, even if the clamping is a bit stronger than the xm5. Owned a pair of airpods max for a few years, and let me just say as an iphone user, the xm6s blow them out of the water in so many categories that matter most (sound, comfort, portability, ANC). These are by far the best headphones I’ve ever worn and it’s not even close.

The Best
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am a very picky person when it comes to headphones. I have bought and returned many because I am not happy with them. This is the first pair that I will 100% say that I will keep because of how light it is how long the battery life is and how great it sounds. The flexibility of it with the headband with the clamp is great. I work out. It’s a great workout headset. I can sling around all I want and they do not follow my head. I have 100% recommend.
