One of the Best
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best ANC headphones I’ve tried, super comfortable. Only negative is they aren’t as loud as others like AirPod maxes.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback, Andy! We feel privileged to know you’re enjoying the active noise cancellation and comfort of the WH-1000XM6. Regarding maximum volume, different headphones can have varying loudness due to design choices that prioritize sound quality and hearing protection.

Sony MX6
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] I bought these after having the Sony Mx4s. I will say there are a lot more notes and the additional mics were very nice. Personally I feel like the noise cancellation was still the same if not a little better but the thing that sets these apart is the immersive sound. There were three different modes you could choose from and I really enjoyed how it affected the music on top of that. The new design with a wider headband and being able to fold was very nice. I also love how they changed the case design to be magnetic very useful. The touch controls also seemed more responsive than previous designs but overall they were really good headphones for the price though I do think that the Mx 4s are still more than enough, but if you are really wanting the top of the top headphones, I think these are good

Good quality, good upgrade from previous models
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones, small upgrade from my older XM4s and a little smaller folded up making them a bit more portable and great battery life. Sony needs to upgrade their SoundConnect app UI but the EQ still works well so outdated UI is the only small downside, would recommend.

Excellent sounds and noice cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound and isolation are great. Very comfortable, excellent battery live. But! The "smart" features are very sensitive and can cut your audio easily. Excellent for long trips.

Posted .Hello Lulo,
Thanks for your valuable feedback on the WH-1000XM6 headphones—It's great to hear that you're enjoying the excellent sound quality, isolation, and comfort they deliver!
Regarding the "smart" features, we understand how frustrating it can be when they are overly sensitive and interrupt your listening experience. The headphones are designed with features like "Speak-to-Chat" and "Adaptive Sound Control" to be convenient, but we know user preference can vary.
Fortunately, you have control over the sensitivity of these features. You can adjust or turn off most of these settings in the Sony | Sound Connect app. For Speak-to-Chat: You can go into the app settings and adjust the sensitivity of the "Voice Detect" feature to a lower level, or simply turn it off completely if you prefer manual control. For Adaptive Sound Control: You can also manage or disable this feature in the app. It allows you to customize the settings for different locations and activities, or you can set your noise cancellation and ambient sound levels manually.
If you haven't already, please check the app's settings to fine-tune these features to your liking. May you require guidance during this process, you can contact our live support at: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones
Your feedback is very important, and we'll be sure to pass it along to our product teams.
Thanks for choosing Sony to be part of your trips!
Sincerely,
Jenn | Sony North America.

Still Weighing Other Options…
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Whatever your considering this against…go throw route! You won’t be disappointed? Especially if you’re considering these over the AirPods Pro Max’s. You will miss out on the Apple connectivity but honestly, the Sony Connect App and the Bluetooth connectivity makes up for any losses and then some (Apple still doesn’t offer an equalizer feature).

Good, while XM5 is still not bad
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgraded to XM6 from XM5. The new hinge system, potentially addressing the hinge issues seen with the XM5. I like the folding design and a smaller carrying case. The improvement on noise-canceling is notice-able. Other than that, not so much difference on sound quality. The touch control pad looks more responsive. Did not get a chance to test Microphone yet. Overall, if you like better noise cancellation and the folding design, go for it. Otherwise, XM5 is still good.

Greatest Of All Time
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This item is Incredible! Hands down the best. I have gone through many pairs of headphone and none of them compare to THE XM6. You usually have basics qualities on headphones like sound, comfort, portability. However the XM6’s “basic” qualities are great qualities. They are by far the most comfortable and high definition sounding headphones. These are generationally superior to everything.

Sony x6
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing headphones light weight.. : The sound is warmer and more detailed than the XM5. Sony worked with mastering engineers to create a wider soundstage, resulting in "punchier" bass and "airier" highs that feel less confined to you
