Best headphones in the lineup
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Huge improvement over the XM5. I use these all day dual connected to work laptop and phone. Worth the upgrade from XM4s at least.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your experience and positive feedback on the WH-1000XM6, Mark. We’re glad to hear you’re noticing significant improvements over previous models and making the most of the dual device connectivity throughout your workday.
With the WH-1000XM6, Sony aimed to address a number of user-requested enhancements. Community and early user impressions highlight several notable upgrades:
- Advanced noise cancellation, powered by a next-generation processor reportedly “7x faster,” delivers even more effective blocking of distractions and real-time sound adaptation compared to the already strong performance in the XM5 and XM4.
- Improved comfort and durability with a wider, reinforced headband, as well as a more compact and sturdy travel case, responding directly to feedback about the XM5’s case size and headband flexibility.
- Enhanced call quality with the addition of a twelfth microphone, which is especially valuable for frequent business calls.
- Multipoint (dual device) connectivity has been refined, making it even easier to switch between work laptops and phones—ideal for users who rely on these features to stay productive and connected.
Your feedback confirms that these updates bring daily value and justify the upgrade for XM4 and XM5 users seeking the latest improvements in comfort, sound, and usability.
Thank you again for your detailed review—it’s direct experiences like yours that help inform ongoing development and ensure Sony headphones continue to set the standard for audio performance and convenience.
Thanks for choosing Sony!

Love everything about them
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I typically lean to buying Apple stuff because I love the compatibility that the AirPods and everything else have with each other. Saying that, I recently bought the XM6’s and I’ve absolutely loved them. They have great sound quality and noise cancellation. They are also some of the lightest headphones I’ve ever worn. I would say if you had the choice to pick the XM6’s.

Absolutely
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I never thought that the XM4s would ever be outclassed, but these take the cake by a mile. Going back to my XM4s while at the gym is an insane difference in sound quality, clarity and "space". The "space" of the sound for the XM4s is like this: "| |", but for the XM6s its more like this: "| |". Way better. My ONLY complaint is that the pads on the XM6s are a little too thin, but with 3rd party companies working on replacement pads that'll be a non-issue soon. 10/10.

Great for travelers. Block all noise
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought Specifically to use on the plane for Noise Cancelling and watching movies and these work wonderful. It blocks off all sound and when needed, you can tap the headphones and hear so clearly. I actually amplifies the voices allowing you to hear people talking clearer than with out using them. If you are a frequent traveler then these will work wonders on the plaine/train

Posted .Hi ChrisP,
We are thrilled to hear you find the WH-1000XM6 headphones great and very comfortable! If you're looking for a boost in volume, please check the Sony Headphones Connect app to ensure the volume limiter is off. Additionally, confirm that the volume setting on your source device (phone, tablet, etc.) is maximized, as some apps or operating systems have their own volume caps. Thanks for choosing Sony.

Better
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Much better than XM4 and XM5. However, it still feels cheap-ish and the color isn't what I expected. ANC is very decent, audio is great but not the best, though that's personal preference. Great battery life.

Best Headphones in the Game Right Now!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been looking for new headphones for a while, after always struggling to keep AirPods in my ears while traveling or at the gym. I tested Bose, Beats, and every other brand. But Sony has set the bar incredibly high with this model. Tuning into my music makes me feel like I am listening to the artist perform right in the studio. The quality and the noise cancellation are top tier. Would highly recommend to anyone!
