Good with flaws
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Closer to 4.5 stars, but rounding down. It's a great set of headphones and the ANC is incredible. They comfortable and the battery is great. My biggest gripes are the build quality and the price. The headphones feel premium in some ways, but the hinges feel suspect and worry about their longevity.

Sony Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best headphones I've ever purchased. Connects very easily to anything I've attempted to connect them with. Sound quality is great. The auto Noise Cancelling or Ambient depending on what you do is somewhat a game changer. Pretty cool pair of headphones. Pricey but you won't be disappointed.

Effective misophonia relief
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My daughter suffers from misophonia. She tried other passive and active noise cancelling earbuds and headphones, and none work as well as these to block sounds that trigger her (chewing swallowing, sniffling, etc.) Sound quality and comfort are top notch. I highly recommend these cans for audiophiles and anyone with misophonia!

Not the best for calls, but music is transcendent!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I do love the over the ear style headphones after years of AirPods use. My only issue is that these headphones are poor for phone calls unless I’m looking straight ahead. They are not good to talk on the phone when I’m doing things that require looking down. The microphone gets muffled terribly and the other caller cannot hear me anymore. I have to take one star away because being able to talk on the phone hands free while I’m doing things is important to me. However, these are really made for listening to music. It was like listening to music for the first time ever. I heard new things in songs I have been listening to for 30 years! When I listened to my favorite opera song (Flower Duet) I actually teared up. There have been zero connectivity problems which is such a relief after AirPods constant connectivity issues.

Excellent Noise Cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are actually really good!! I have a high school baseball player who likes for me to record his games. Some of his tournaments are durning the day and I’ve been blessed to have a remote job so am able to attend his games and continue working. There are times where I have to jump on a zoom call durning the games and I was able to drown out the walk up music that is played and the crowd noises durning my meetings. I could not hear the noise an neither could the person I was meeting with.

Posted .Thank you for the amazing story, MacGirl79!
We love hearing how the noise canceling and precise mic pickup allow you to support your son at the ballpark while staying professional on Zoom. It sounds like the perfect "remote office" setup.

Noticeable upgrade from the WH1000XM5
|Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] Noticeable upgrade from the WH1000XM5. - Sound quality is a bit better, while keeping the custom EQ on the app. - ANC is clearly more effective - Having a round button for power and keeping the old long strip for ANC toggle is such a minor change but makes it so much better to use, no more getting the 2 mistaken for each other - They might not fold as much as the WH1000XM4 did, but at least different from the XM5 they do fold again which makes the footprint smaller, both in or out of the case

Best Headphone Ever
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Initially, I was unsure about this product, but after a month of use, I can confidently say it offers the best ANC experience. It fits my large head comfortably, and even with glasses, it’s quite manageable—though extended wear might be a challenge due to my head size.

Outstanding– perfect for work and entertainment
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love these headphones. The Sony WH-1000XM6 are hands down some of the best all-around headphones I’ve ever owned. The noise cancellation is incredible and has been a total game changer for work. Once I put them on, I can really lock in and focus without distractions, even in noisy environments. The sound quality is excellent across the board, but what really surprised me is the cinema mode. Watching movies with these feels immersive and rich, almost like a personal theater experience. Everything sounds clear, detailed, and balanced, whether it’s dialogue, music, or effects. They’re comfortable enough to wear for long periods, intuitive to use, and just feel premium in every way. From productivity to entertainment, these headphones deliver on all fronts. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-tier noise cancellation and amazing sound quality.

Still Weighing Other Options…
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Whatever your considering this against…go throw route! You won’t be disappointed? Especially if you’re considering these over the AirPods Pro Max’s. You will miss out on the Apple connectivity but honestly, the Sony Connect App and the Bluetooth connectivity makes up for any losses and then some (Apple still doesn’t offer an equalizer feature).

Good quality, good upgrade from previous models
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones, small upgrade from my older XM4s and a little smaller folded up making them a bit more portable and great battery life. Sony needs to upgrade their SoundConnect app UI but the EQ still works well so outdated UI is the only small downside, would recommend.
