||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think. Perfect to use noise cancellation in office to do not hear colleagues talks Music is awesome, especially if a source is good/lossless. I slightly disappointed by the ios app because it has, IMHO, a lot of useless features. But if you use it inly for firmware updates - it is fine. I even don't want to try any other headphones had others before), this line is fully satisfied.

Solid Upgrade from XM5
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I 100% recommend this even if you have the XM5. Huge upgrade on the noise cancellation on the plane. Clamping force is a bit stronger with this one which is really nice, doesn't slip off when I am working out. First day or so my ear was a bit uncomfortable which had me worried but once it "broke in" its been smooth sailing and very comfortable.

Posted .Hi Salman,

It's great to know you're experiencing that huge upgrade in noise cancellation, especially on the plane – that's precisely what we aim for with our industry-leading technology. And we're glad the slightly stronger clamping force is benefiting your workouts by keeping them secure.

Worth the Upgrade!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had the Xm5s for about 3 years and they have been wonderful but man the difference from xm5 to the xm6 is just crazy. A lot more comfortable I’d say the case is a lot better as the headphones fold. Best noise cancelation on any by far. I’d say it’s better than the AirPods Max.

Worth every penny.

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.

Best over the head headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my mom for her birthday because I LOVE my XM5's and wanted to get her the latest model, and she loves it. She wears it every day and the ANC is the best I've ever experienced. If you have the XM5 then maybe it's not worth the upgrade but it's a significant upgrade if you have the XM4s.

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
