What an improvement
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are a great upgrade from the XM4, which were already amazing. The noise cancelling is noticeably better, and the sound stage is also noticeably improved. I love bass and these headphones deliver. I skipped the XM5 because they didn't fold, and I'm glad these ones fold. The new carrying case is great too. Why didn't they do that sooner? Yes they're pricey, but if you like nice things and can afford to buy them, these are a great purchase.

Best Headphones I've Ever Had!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best headphones I've ever had and in my opinion worth the money. Comfortable for an entire 9 hour flight to Europe and silenced the crying baby onboard. Made my music and games better with a more robust and complete sound. The touch features are an added bonus. If I had one negative it would be that folding them back up into the carrying case can sometimes be a bit challenging if you're in a hurry.

Great headphones for travel + home use
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable, great sound quality, and the noise canceling is almost too good. My only complaint is that you can only connect to 2 devices at a time and there is a noticable delay in audio for competitive games since it uses bluetooth. If you want to play anything competitive just use the included audio jack cable.

Even better than XM5's
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.XM6's build upon all of the greatness of the XM5 but does it better. Noise cancelling seems better, the new cafe feature is great and they feel like an overall firmer clamping pressure for better seal. Best feature is the ability to now fold them for better storage and transportation, though, they can be a bit difficult to make them fit in their case, a little extra room may have been nice.

Excellent capability > questionable hardware
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are definitively excellent, with compromise. The ANC is class leading (as good as the professionalized Bose A30s I fly airplanes with), the design is simple and unobtrusive, and the sound quality is acceptable for this category. However, they fall under the Bose QC Ultra in overall comfort and build, and the touch controls are finicky. Comfort was a huge disappointment here. I disliked the hard headband which made sleeping in long commercial flights bothersome, and the warm, rubbery ear-cups which centralize heat and sweat. If you value a great case, the best ANC, and superior sound - get these. If you value build quality and superior comfort, the Bose are your choice.

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

Posted .Thank you for the incredible review, Manny!
We are thrilled to hear that the WH-1000XM6 is hitting all the right notes for you. It’s awesome that you noticed the "airier" highs and wider soundstage—our engineers worked hard to deliver that "punchier" yet detailed sound while keeping the headphones lightweight and comfortable.
It sounds like you’re truly hearing the music exactly how it was meant to be experienced. Thank you for choosing Sony!

Great Earphones. Earphones blew away.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product. Cancels most sounds if you chose. Very comfortable. I used when riding my CanAm Spyder motorcycle with other bikers with loud pipes. Options are to use bluetooth or plug in earphones. Expensive but worth it - $499.00. I lost mine when a big gust of wind hit me. The earphones blew away and I could not find it anywhere. So I can not provide a picture. Maybe someone will find it in a hundred years.

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).

Best headphones ever
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No doubt that sony makes the best headphones. And the fact that you can connect it to 2 phones at the same time is mind blowing. I use 2 phones and the way it switches between both phones is just so smooth. I have the 3 headphones from sony and they are worth my money. I'm stuck for life.

Best value, Top tier quality, Unique features
|Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] Sound quality is top notch. Noise cancelling and ambient sound (transparency mode) has improved significantly from the previous model. They're very comfortable, travel case is unique with the magnetic locking mechanism, and the customizable EQ is awesome! Lastly, they work great as a Playstation headset but an external mic would be required.
