No headphone can cancel high pitched sounds.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Yes, these will cancel noise but they don't cancel extremly loud noises like yelling/ screaming or high pitched sounds like a squealing dryer. No headphones can cancel these sounds.

Posted .Hi Raymond,
We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. You are exactly right—while our industry-leading noise-canceling technology is designed to drastically reduce ambient sounds like airplane engines or office chatter, sudden, high-pitched, or extremely loud noises can still be difficult to eliminate completely. We are glad to hear they are working well for your general noise-canceling needs!
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They're not bad regarding sound quality, but when you want headphones and want to blast your music and don't want others to be able to hear what you're listing to, these aren't it. They're good tho I recommend them.

One of the best headphone I ever had
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Being one of the loyal bose fan for decades, Sony XM6 made me switch. Specifically, audio quality 9/10, comfort 10/10, battery 10/10, ease of use 9/10, one of the best thing i like about the XM6 is that you can wear it for an extended workout, although it will get slightly sweaty but its really comfortable and secured.

Posted .Hi KevinWu,
It is truly heartened to learn that a long-term audio enthusiast such as yourself found the switch to the Sony WH-1000XM6 so rewarding.
Earning a "10/10" for comfort and battery life is high praise, and we are especially glad to hear that the fit remains secure even during your extended workouts. While we always recommend a quick wipe-down after a sweat session to keep those pads in top shape, it’s great to know the ergonomics are providing the stability you need to stay focused on your fitness goals. Your breakdown of the audio quality and ease of use is incredibly helpful for other listeners looking to make a change.
Thank you for trusting Sony to power your workouts and your daily listening.

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

Simply Excellent
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think these are the best headphones on the market that don't need an amplifier. The noise cancelling is excellent. Battery life is excellent. Sound quality is excellent. One thing these have over the Airpod Max is that you can customize the audio levels. The only knock I have is that they show smears easily.

I give 9/10 for the feature and sound.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comfort-wise, it was a little tight-fitting, but the sound quality is very good. You can change the codec and get better sound quality. Easy to use, and the touch feature is wonderful while working out. You don't have to constantly use your phone to skip songs or increase your music volume.

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.
