Great headphones, upgrade cautiously.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones are amazing. New ANC gets rid of its own white noise. Soundstage is good, but I miss Clear Bass. Remember if you're doing anything demanding with them (exercise or dirty work) get the black color.

Posted .Hi SupremePatron,
It's fantastic to hear you're loving the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones, especially the improved ANC that eliminates its own white noise, a significant upgrade! While the soundstage is good, it's understandable to miss the "Clear Bass" option from previous models, though the new 10-band EQ in the Sony Headphones Connect app offers ample flexibility to fine-tune the bass to your preference. Your practical advice about opting for the black color for demanding activities like exercise or dirty work is also wise, as the darker finish is generally more forgiving of smudges, sweat, and general wear than the silver.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Expensive and Excellent
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing. Its my first top quality headset but I love it. Some very loud children yelling still maes it through noise cancellation; but if you also have music going you’ll be fine. Very comfortable for wearing while you work for sevral hours.

Great When They Work Correctly
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Beware potential buyers, the Sony xm6 headphones work great while not broken. Unfortunately they break way too easily. For reference, I have bought the previous 3 headphones in this series (xm4, xm5, xm6). All have broken within a year and a half, and these broke in 4 months. As some have mentioned, these headphones can get pretty warm, which can obviously lead to sweating a bit, especially in warm areas. In just 4 months, whenever it gets remotely hot out, or I sweat even a little, there is a crackling sound when using the noise cancelling in the right earpad. I've found out it was condensation building up in the headphones that caused it. Sony support is even worse. Their text support is nearly non-functional, with agents randomly ending chats, making it nearly impossible to get through one fully. Call support isn't much better, as I was told I would have to send the headphones in for them to "determine" if the pair was truly defective to get a new pair sent, a process that could "take 2-3 weeks" according to Sony support. I work from home, so having no sound for that long a time is not possible for me. Of course I could buy a cheap pair of stand in headphones, but the point is that a 450 dollar pair of headphones should last longer than 4 months. I've had similar issues with previous models as well. TLDR: Great when they work, but the fragility of these headphones make it hard to recommend for the price.
