Sony XM6
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are really good! Noise canceling works very well and sound quality is excellent! If there was one caveat, it would be I wish it had more bass. With certain music I feel as though it’s limiting what the headphones are capable of.

Worth the upgrade
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the Sony mx5 before and I loved them. I was hesitant to upgrade to the mx6 because of the price tag but after having them for a week now, I’m glad I did. The noise canceling and quality of sound are on a whole other level compare to previous generations. Definitely worth it

Definetly a Best Buy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancellation on these headphones is really good. On my last flight I couldn't get them connected to my AirFly pro before the trip so I put my Airpod Pro's in and covered my ears with these. I could watch my film and actually hear what was being said over jet noise.

GREATEST NOISE-CANCELING HEADPHONES EVER!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can't ask for better noise-canceling headphones! The noise-canceling is such art, and even the built-in 360 Cinematic audio is actually off the hook! I highly recommend this to people that are sensitive to noises, and to help those to relax!

Great EDC headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are really nice. I still have the XM4 and I like them for connecting to my Sony TV. These don't see to connect as well. With the xm4 I can control both tv volume and headphone separately..perhaps firmware updates will change that. Because I have both, it's not a big deal. One stays at home (XM4) and these bad boys are my EDC.

Posted .Hi AddieB,
We are elated to hear that your new WH-1000XM6 headphones have earned a spot as your go-to "everyday carry." It is wonderful to see them joined with your XM4s to create the ultimate Sony audio duo.
Regarding the connection with your Sony TV, we recommend unpairing the headphones from your TV and then pairing them again to refresh the link. This often resolves synchronization and volume control quirks. We are constantly working on firmware improvements, so please ensure both your headphones and TV are running the latest software versions for the best experience.
Thank you for being such a loyal member of the Sony family.
