    Sound quality is top notch. Noise cancelling and ambient sound (transparency mode) has improved significantly from the previous model. They're very comfortable, travel case is unique with the magnetic locking mechanism, and the customizable EQ is awesome! Lastly, they work great as a Playstation headset but an external mic would be required.

      Hi DioD,

      We are ecstatic to learn that you are finding the WH-1000XM6 to be such a fantastic upgrade over your previous pair! We’ve pushed the boundaries with this new model by introducing the QN3 HD Noise Cancelling Processor, which is significantly faster than previous generations. This powerhouse works in tandem with an expanded 12-microphone system to filter out more ambient noise than ever before, all while maintaining that lightweight, foldable design that makes them so easy to travel with.

      Thank you for being such a loyal part of the Sony family.

    Overall great sound quality i love that they brought back the folding mechanism. I have had some issues with my first headset that was making clicking noise from what im guessing was a broken speaker. My exchanged pair is working great so far. The battery in it lasts me all through the work week as well usually.

    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.

      Hi Salman,

      That's absolutely fantastic to hear! We're thrilled you're loving your new WH-1000XM6. 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. It's also good to hear that initial discomfort resolved itself, leading to smooth sailing and very comfortable wear.

      Thanks for choosing Sony, have a fantastic day!

    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.

      Hi Reilly,

      Thank you for the feedback. I've adjusted the previous reply to be shorter while still addressing all your points:

      We are thrilled you love the WH-1000XM6 headphones! We apologize that wearing them with your larger framed glasses causes irritation after extended use. To address the pressure, try adjusting your glasses' arms to rest higher or lower on the ear padding, or gently stretch the headband over a few books overnight to slightly reduce the clamping force.

      Hi Mohammad,

      We are glad you enjoy the sound quality but apologize that the headphones cause discomfort after an hour. Discomfort is often resolved by adjusting the fit; please try gently repositioning the headband height and earcup angle to ensure the earpads sit lightly around your ears, reducing pressure points for better comfort during long listening sessions.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

    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.
