She says they are light on her head and have excellent sound quality. They come with a color coordinated storage case. She absolutely enjoys wearing them to listen to her Bad Bunny playlist or watching videos.

Great pair of headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Such a great headphone. I upgraded from the WH-1000XM3 and wow. Not that I had any complaints with my old pair, but these are awesome. They're super comfortable and sound great. They also have a better EQ to control the sound with in app. The new case is pretty good too. I like the magnetic clasp instead of a zipper. These are great for listening to music, watching a movie, flying on a plane, or just blocking out most of your surroundings while working or studying.

Best in-class ANC and more durable hinges
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these to the place my aging XM3 from Sony. The XM3 lasted me for over 3 years now and they are fantastic. The hinges on those headphones were cracking so I decided to replace them with these XM6. The noise cancellation on the new headphones is superior, the hinges are designed much better, and they are more comfortable on the ear. I especially like the adaptive noise canceling feature that adjusts the noise cancelation and ambient noise based on your surroundings. The Bluetooth connection is strong and you can connect to two sources at the same time. The included hard case is strong and durable for travel. The only negative about these headphones is the cost. Perhaps during Black Friday, they will go lower.

Premium performance at a premium price
|Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] People are going to complain about the price and they are correct the price is substantial. With that said, they are hundred percent worth it. You get class leading noise canceling and comfort with very decent sound out of the box that can be tuned in the incredible app to be almost perfect for any listening preference. The included case is very well made, and the magnetic latch is genius because it allows easy and fast access to the headphones. The only problem I have is a nitpick, and that is the build quality is a slight downgrade when compared to other headphones like the bose qc ultra and sonos ace, but the xm6's still feel decent just not as premium. So, if you want the overall best everyday headphones, the xm6's are currently unmatched in the current headphone landscape.

Sound quality is exceptional across all genres of music.

Excellent Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are comfortable and sound great. Allowing ambient noise actually amplifies background noise, but it helps to be able to hear yourself talk to not shout at people when using as a headset. They do an amazing job with background noise cancellation. To test my wife was yelling in the room near me and the people on the other end of a meetings call couldn’t hear her at all. However, rocking motions forward and back will result in the noise cancellation causing you to cut in and out. Normal movement is fine though. The magnetic carrying case is much nicer than the previous generations. I also appreciate the ability to feel the difference between the round power button and the oblong feature button. I’m not a fan of the touch controls on the right cup as sometimes they can be a little wonky, but they work way better than on my old XM4s. Overall I highly recommend these headphones and believe it would be hard to find a better pair when caring about sound quality and usage as a headset.

Great sound, some minor issues with Bluetooth uh
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really don’t have a lot to say about audio quality or the noise cancellation. Both are very good. I have a few issues that I wanted to mention. One is that I have to go into the Bluetooth settings, turn off Bluetooth, turn it back on, and then try to connect my headphones to my iPhone 17. I have to do this every time. The problem may be with my iPhone but I find this inconvenient. The second issue is with the case. A lot of of the reviewers online gave great reviews to the case. I would as well, but with one qualification. You have to fold the headphones exactly right or they won’t fit in the case. It takes some practice. The case is important to me because I use these for my commute on the train. I am putting them on and taking them off pretty frequently so the case is a big issue. Other than these issues I’m pretty happy so far.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your experience, KenS.
We’re glad to hear you’re happy with the audio and noise cancellation on your WH-1000XM6! We appreciate your honest feedback regarding the folding process for the case; it definitely has a specific "rhythm" to it, especially when you're on a busy commute.
Regarding that Bluetooth connection hurdle with your iPhone, we’d like to help smooth that out so you don't have to toggle settings every time.
