||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think. Perfect to use noise cancellation in office to do not hear colleagues talks Music is awesome, especially if a source is good/lossless. I slightly disappointed by the ios app because it has, IMHO, a lot of useless features. But if you use it inly for firmware updates - it is fine. I even don't want to try any other headphones had others before), this line is fully satisfied.

Great purchase
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Some of the best headphones Ive owned. Seamlessly switches connections without issue. Might be uncomfortable if you have big ears and the pads dont keep the first parts that far off your head. Battery life is amazing as well.

The hype is real
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgraded from the XM4s and it's like they're 10 years apart! Transparency actually sounds like it IMPROVES my hearing. These are worth every penny. Love the fit, and I have a big head. Sound is great for me, noise cancelling pushed to the test at a trampoline park on a Saturday.

Great fit
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I usually have trouble with headphones due to them being uncomfortable when wearing glasses but these feel freat even while wearing glasses. The fit is also great, I usually workout with earbuds because headphones slide off but these stay secured to your head without crushing you.

Great headphones but a slight upgrade from XM5
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] These are great just like the XM5 were but in my opinion I think the upgrade from the previous model tends to be good better battery, case and new folding cups and background feature.

Posted .Hello MessiIsTheGOAT, thanks for the fantastic review!
We are immensely pleased to hear you're enjoying the WH1000XM6 and noticing the improvements over the XM5. The better battery life, the redesigned case, folding earcups, and new background features –one more enhancement worth nothing is the updated noise cancelling processor, which takes ambient sound control to the next level.
Thanks for appreciating the effort we put on these headphones, and for choosing Sony!
Sincerely,

Worth the upgrade from the XM5!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently ordered the XM5,I liked everything except that they weren’t foldable. So I ended returning them. The XM6 are exactly what I was waiting for. The case is smaller and no longer has a zipper. Probably best case out there. The noise canceling is better than the XM5.

Pricey but you get what you pay for
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound and build quality. I listen to mostly heavy metal and I would say they are decent out of the box for heavier music. After adjusting and messing with EQ it’s much better. The noise cancelling is insane and battery life has been great.

Amazing but Comfort Sacrifice
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Superb sound. My M3's lasted me 8 years with daily use, im hoping to get the same wear and tear out of this pair. My only issue is that the ear cups are smaller than the previous M-generation? and I dont like it, I have quite small ears. But I think the bigger ear cups are roomy and looser for all day use. Granted, these stay better on my head when im upside down in the gym. But other than that, they're barely too small. Ill keep them for the sound, but comfort has sadly sadly gone down for me.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your detailed and honest feedback, Lily!
We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the superb sound quality of your new WH-1000XM6 headphones! It’s also fantastic to know that your previous M3s lasted an impressive 8 years of daily use; that durability is exactly what we strive for, and we hope you get the same longevity from this pair.
We truly appreciate you detailing your experience with the ear cup size. We understand that changes to comfort, especially for all-day use, are critical, and we regret that the smaller size compared to the M-generation has slightly reduced your comfort level, despite the improved stability during activities like at the gym. We value this specific feedback immensely and will pass it directly to our design team, as maximizing both comfort and stability is a constant goal.
We are pleased you’ve decided to keep them for the excellent sound, and we thank you for bringing the comfort issue to our attention.

Great over ear headphones, but not for me
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these from a lot of the online hype. They truly are great over ear headphones, doing a great job with audio quality and a lot of great bass. The active noise canceling is really strong, and it’s pretty good at automatically switching to transparency mode when it detects you are talking. The pass through audio from your surroundings is crystal clear when that happens. It’s not for me, though, because I was trying these out to see how much better they were than AirPods Pro (2nd gen). To me, the delta was not nearly good enough to warrant something so much larger and harder to travel with (though the case is very nice). AirPods work great for me, so I’m just going to stick to those.

Great replacement for Apple AirPod Max
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are amazing! The noise canceling is next level – I can throw them on anywhere and it’s like the outside world disappears. The sound quality is super clear with great bass, and everything I listen to just sounds better on these. They’re really comfortable too, even after wearing them for hours. Battery life is awesome – I barely have to think about charging. Pairing is super easy and the touch controls make them simple to use. If you’re looking for headphones that do it all – comfort, sound, and noise canceling – the Sony WH-1000XM6 is totally worth it! I purchased these to replace my Apple AirPod Max, and I’m not disappointed.
