Get these headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Sony XM6’s with added Best Buy plus membership so I could truly test them out. The voice technology is unsurpassed by any other headphone I’ve tried. I talk on my headphones at work, in the car, while working outside and to go to sleep. People report (clearly) being able to hear my voice without any idea of what’s going on around me. The noise cancelling muffles exterior noises so I can focus on who I’m talking or listening to. I returned these headphones to try out the Bose headphones that are the same price and exchanged those for the Sony’s again the next day. The sound tech in these headphones excites me. The 360 sound is something that not even all music applications are capable of, yet. Overall, I am a 150% Satisfied Customer

Best headphones in a long time
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the sound quality, and the comfort. Definitely recommend for audiophiles
I would recommend this to a friend One of the best headphone I ever had
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .Hi KevinWu,
It is truly heartened to learn that a long-term audio enthusiast such as yourself found the switch to the Sony WH-1000XM6 so rewarding.
Earning a "10/10" for comfort and battery life is high praise, and we are especially glad to hear that the fit remains secure even during your extended workouts. While we always recommend a quick wipe-down after a sweat session to keep those pads in top shape, it’s great to know the ergonomics are providing the stability you need to stay focused on your fitness goals. Your breakdown of the audio quality and ease of use is incredibly helpful for other listeners looking to make a change.
Thank you for trusting Sony to power your workouts and your daily listening.

Great build quality and sound, not a bad first buy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was my first major purchase of a high end headphones this should be a 4 1/2 starts, the build quality is amazing I do not regret my purchase. The only thing i have to say is that the noise cancelling is very noticeable when entering in to different environments with different active noises; where you will suddenly hear the back ground noise at a higher volume than expected. Also make sure you try on the headset before you buy if you have large or protruding ears to make sure its conformable for you, I am noticing that this may have been an issue for me after a hour or two of wear.

Posted .Hi AlvinA,
Thank you for your review of the WH-1000XM6 headphones. We're happy to hear you find them comfortable and enjoy the great sound quality!
Regarding the noise canceling, a proper seal is crucial for the best performance. We recommend checking the fit and ensuring the earcups fully enclose your ears without any gaps. For further optimization, you can use the Sony | Headphones Connect app to run the "NC Optimizer" function, which tailors the noise canceling to your specific head shape, hairstyle, and even whether you're wearing glasses.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Fixed main issues with xm5s
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The XM6 has far better hinges, the main breaking point for the XM5s. A recessed power button, differentiates it from the ambient button, making it far less confusing. The biggest gripe i had with the XM5s is their battery life, which was all over the place, but these have solved it with being able to charge while being connected wirelessly! Fantastic

Totally worth it!
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are my first high end over the ear headphones and i am so pleased with them! I need to figure out the touch control shortkeys became if my shoulder hits the ourside cup it stops, fwds, or rewinds what im listening to. So thats kind of annoying. But i never read the instructions until I dont figuring things out 'naturally'. Noise cancellation is top notch.
