Customer Ratings & Reviews

Overall, Im very happy with my purchase. These headphones have impressed me with their sound quality, comfort. and battery life. I also live by a very noisy road so the noise cancellation has been fantastic for my home office.

​The Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones are the new benchmark for premium wireless headphones. They take the already industry-leading noise cancellation of the XM-series and pair it with a more refined sound, class-leading comfort, and a design that is genuinely practical for travelers and commuters. ​Should you buy them? ​Yes, if you are upgrading from an older model (XM4 or earlier) or buying your first set of premium headphones. The combination of best-in-class ANC, excellent sound, and a compact folding design makes them the strongest all-around choice. ​If you own the WH-1000XM5: The improvements are iterative but meaningful. The folding design and improved sound/ANC are strong incentives, but you can likely wait unless portability is a major pain point for you. ​Simply put, the WH-1000XM6 are arguably the best noise-cancelling headphones you can buy right now.

After just one day with the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones, I can already say I’m in love. These are some of the best headphones I’ve ever used, and I’ve already tested them out with music, a Zoom call, and a round of Call of Duty. I’ve got a trip coming up next week, and I’m actually excited to travel just to see how well these things perform in the air. Right out of the box, the sound quality blew me away. I listen to a lot of instrumental, acoustic, and vocal-heavy music when I’m working, and these headphones make everything sound super clean and clear. For example, I was listening to “Almost Home” from Gary Louris’s new album and the guitar in that song has this really warm and natural sound—like someone’s playing it right in front of you. You can even hear little things like the strings buzzing or fingers sliding which I never noticed before. His voice comes through really smooth and personal, not buried or too sharp. I messed with the EQ for a bit and while the “Heavy” bass setting is fun, I honestly think the default setting sounds the best. These headphones just seem to get it right on their own. I also tried out the “Background Music” mode, and it’s actually a neat feature. It sort of pushes the music into the background so you can focus without needing to turn it all the way off—great for when you're writing or replying to emails. They’re also super comfortable. They’re light on the head, and even though I have bigger ears and had to wiggle them into place a bit, they sit fine and I’ve worn them for hours without any soreness. The only minor thing is they sometimes slide down a little and rest closer to my jaw, which isn’t painful or anything—just a little annoying now and then. On my Zoom call, the voices sounded great and clear. I didn’t talk on the call myself (not really trying to be the guy in full cans on camera), but listening-wise, it was solid. Gaming wise, sound quality has never been my biggest priority, but I fired up some Call of Duty and could clearly hear footsteps sneaking up behind me. Definitely helped me stay alive longer than usual! (Which still wasn't long) Just the mechanics of using the headphones has been a great experience. The touch controls are fantastic. Best I’ve ever used. Big surface area, just the right amount of sensitivity. You don’t have to mash or guess—it just works. They even added a little nub on the left ear cup so you can tell which side is which without looking. Plus, the ANC and power buttons are shaped differently so you can feel the difference right away. That kind of attention to detail really shows. Overall, it's easy to see why the XM series flagships are always highly touted. Big win this year Sony!

Fabulous headphones, I love the audio. I could wear these for 5 hours straight, and I feel completely okay. They're not heavy at all. The sound cancelling is the real deal. The battery life is incredible as well. The only issue is that the Bluetooth connection frequently interrupts, which can be annoying.

I’ve been using the Sony MX6, and I’m really impressed. The headphones are incredibly comfortable, even during long listening sessions, thanks to the lightweight design and soft ear cushions. The sound quality is outstanding, with deep bass, clear vocals, and well-balanced highs that make every genre enjoyable. The active noise cancellation is excellent, making travel and work much more enjoyable. Overall, the Sony MX6 delivers a premium listening experience and is definitely worth considering if you’re looking for comfort and exceptional sound quality.

I love these headphones! I have used both Apple and Beats products, and these are by far the best performing headphones I've experienced! I love that you can customize your listening preferences within the app. I have a few different settings for music, audiobooks, and gameplay. I love music, and I feel like I'm truly hearing the artist's vision and creative craft for the first time with these headphones. The battery life is really surprising too! I have only charged them once since purchasing and listen with them daily. I also wear glasses and these are some of the only headphones that sit comfortably on my ears and don't pinch my glasses or make my ears sore after hours of use.

Being one of the loyal bose fan for decades, Sony XM6 made me switch. Specifically, audio quality 9/10, comfort 10/10, battery 10/10, ease of use 9/10, one of the best thing i like about the XM6 is that you can wear it for an extended workout, although it will get slightly sweaty but its really comfortable and secured.

These headphones are way better than the apple. I tried using the apple but it just wasnt what i was looking for, these headphones got about 60 hour of battery, multi connections to devices that automatically connects to the devices your using (from pc, to phone, to ps5) theyre comfortable for small heads i belive they sell a bigger size but if you wear them too much they start to hurt. Only bad thing about it is that you gotta download an app to multi connect but there a lot of stuff you can do with the app like music will change the volume depending on where you are outside

“These headphones have excellent sound quality with deep bass and clear highs. They are very comfortable for long use and the battery lasts all day. Noise cancellation works great, especially in noisy environments. Totally worth it.”

I love these. The sound quality is amazing, noise cancellation works well. They connect easily and are comfortable.

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.

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.

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.

They’re good, very lightweight and comfortable for long time use. I am impressed with the sound quality. They hold charge very well, I am a college student and they last all day

Great headphones, comfortable and easy to stow in the case. The noise cancellation is better than the XM5 and the audio quality is noticeably better with the Cinema mode. Plus the Bluetooth will connect to both my iPhone and my desk phone and pause one to ring another so my music from my phone is paused when my desk phone rings. Also unlike the XM5 these charge while in use.

The Sony WH-1000XM6 are the best ANC headphones I’ve used, great sound, top-tier noise cancellation, excellent call quality, and solid 30-hour battery life. They’re comfortable, foldable, and packed with smart features. Pricey, but worth it.

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.

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!

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.

[Employee of bestbuy] The Sony XM6 headphones deliver amazing sound with deep bass, crisp highs, and excellent noise cancellation. They’re extremely comfortable for long use, and the battery life easily lasts all day. The app customization is great, and call quality is clear. 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.
