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.

Bass is incredible and Cinema mode is great!!
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] Cinema Mode is a game changer where I can watch a movie or a tv show and actually feel like Im watching it in in a personal theater. The Bass is solid and defenitly worth the price compared to the apple air pod max. Also can use the aux cord if you want which is another kind gesture from Sony

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.

Sony headphone review
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I must admit the Sony headphones have incredible sound performance. It has increased my headphone usage, and has made the experience much more enjoyable. The fit across the head is comfortable and when bending over the headphones actually stay in place that is a big plus. Also when exercising and during vigorous workouts there is little to no movement of the headphones. Lastly most definitely not least the comfort of the ear cushions are phenomenal. I would recommend to others and purchase again if necessary.
