Great fit
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I usually have trouble with headphones due to them being uncomfortable when wearing glasses but these feel freat even while wearing glasses. The fit is also great, I usually workout with earbuds because headphones slide off but these stay secured to your head without crushing you.

Pricey but you get what you pay for
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound and build quality. I listen to mostly heavy metal and I would say they are decent out of the box for heavier music. After adjusting and messing with EQ it’s much better. The noise cancelling is insane and battery life has been great.

Worth the upgrade from the XM5!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently ordered the XM5,I liked everything except that they weren’t foldable. So I ended returning them. The XM6 are exactly what I was waiting for. The case is smaller and no longer has a zipper. Probably best case out there. The noise canceling is better than the XM5.

Great over ear headphones, but not for me
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these from a lot of the online hype. They truly are great over ear headphones, doing a great job with audio quality and a lot of great bass. The active noise canceling is really strong, and it’s pretty good at automatically switching to transparency mode when it detects you are talking. The pass through audio from your surroundings is crystal clear when that happens. It’s not for me, though, because I was trying these out to see how much better they were than AirPods Pro (2nd gen). To me, the delta was not nearly good enough to warrant something so much larger and harder to travel with (though the case is very nice). AirPods work great for me, so I’m just going to stick to those.

Great headphones but a slight upgrade from XM5
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great just like the XM5 were but in my opinion I think the upgrade from the previous model tends to be good better battery, case and new folding cups and background feature.

Posted .Hello MessiIsTheGOAT, thanks for the fantastic review!
We are immensely pleased to hear you're enjoying the WH1000XM6 and noticing the improvements over the XM5. The better battery life, the redesigned case, folding earcups, and new background features –one more enhancement worth nothing is the updated noise cancelling processor, which takes ambient sound control to the next level.
Thanks for appreciating the effort we put on these headphones, and for choosing Sony!

Great sound and feel
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The way they look and luxurious premium feel is top notch. The noise cancellation is out of this world. The downside is these cause a lot of sweat on the ear cups due to the material and ears get hot. Hopefully they end up selling replacement ear cups that are breathe able and don’t effect the sound.
