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.

Sony Stands Tall!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall Sony XM6 stands equally besides Bose Ultra Headphones. Features of Sony indubitably beats the Bose apps, due to its robust equalizer, immersive sound, and a bit better noise cancelling technically. I would recommend Sony, if you like touch control features (though a bit finicky) at time than button controls in Bose.

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.

Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like the product; however, I especially appreciated the support and assistance I received from the young male associate who helped me select the merchandise. He was quite knowledgeable about the products and patiently explained the differences between each one, including features, benefits, and suitable uses. Overall, I was very satisfied with my choice and left very impressed by his product knowledge and his professional expertise. It's a shame I can’t remember his name, but I believe he deserves recognition for his helpfulness and outstanding service during this sale.

XM6 > AirPods Max
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought AirPods Max on tax free weekend, returned them due to how heavy they are (literally headache inducing in my case) and heard good things about these so figured I’d give them a shot. Overall great decision. AirPods do sound better but not by much and everything else these do just as good or better.

Sony 1000XM6
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are aesthetically pleasing to look at and sound amazing. I recently lost a pair of headphones in Tokyo and needed a replacement quick. I did allot of research on Youtube and the XM6’s were highly regarded, which made my decision allot easier. These feel great on my head and over my ears. The noise cancelling function on these headlhones is excellent for the type of environments I’m engaged in. I’m sfill learning about the XM6’s functionality, but for now I’m really happy with this purchase.

I would recommend this to a friend XM4 vs XM6
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let me start off by saying… these headphones are really nice and techy. They have a lot of update features in comparison to the XM4’s and a tighter fit on the head. They also have a smoother transition in between devices and no speaker pops or cracks. However, they were too tight for my head and I did not enjoy the AI feature of the headphones. The voice became quite annoying and the headphones were so tight that they caused a headache. I also noticed that they may have been quieter, in comparison to the XM4’s. If you want some headphones more on budget, go for the XM4’s, as they are really high-quality as well. If you can afford the XM6’s, stick with them. Skip straight over the XM5’s, as they have a lot of faulty designs.
