A great experience
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I greatly enjoy the noise cancellation and eq choices for a better sound. The background noise setting is great for getting work done without losing focus on noise. Being able to connect to two devices at once is nice but the app doesnt always connect right away for controls

Best Headphones in the Game Right Now!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been looking for new headphones for a while, after always struggling to keep AirPods in my ears while traveling or at the gym. I tested Bose, Beats, and every other brand. But Sony has set the bar incredibly high with this model. Tuning into my music makes me feel like I am listening to the artist perform right in the studio. The quality and the noise cancellation are top tier. Would highly recommend to anyone!

These cans slap!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow, amazing ANC, and the microphones do such a great job even when standing directly in front of a fan and the air current. The 10-band equalizer settings make these a step a above what is already great out of the box. The smart ambient noise option is nice too, especially when walking outside. The dual bluetooth device connection works great too! I’m impressed and would definitely recommend! This is an all around amazing pair of headphones.

Better
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Much better than XM4 and XM5. However, it still feels cheap-ish and the color isn't what I expected. ANC is very decent, audio is great but not the best, though that's personal preference. Great battery life.

Great headphones but not great cups
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound. Great base. Great NC. The only downside is the ear cups are to thin/shallow so it's not comfortable to wear for a long time. I bought a thicker replacement cups and now i can wear them all day.

Best Sounding Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound from these headphones is amazing. I was very happy with my Beats Studio 3 headphones, but it was time for an upgrade. My only complaint with these are that they are not rated for water resistance which makes me reluctant to use it at the gym. The battery life is great and the app that you can download really lets you tailor the sound to your liking.

Posted .Hi TommyV,
We are glad you’re enjoying the amazing sound and the customization options of the WH-1000XM6! While these headphones are designed for premium audio and noise cancellation, they are not rated for water or sweat resistance, so we do recommend avoiding use during intense workouts to protect the internal components. For the gym, we suggest checking out our IP-rated earbuds which are specifically built to handle moisture.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Eliab
