Perfect Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are an upgrade from my Bose Qc45 headphones which I liked. Every problem that I thought I would have was not there. I thought the touch controls would be annoying, but it really is not intrusive at all. I thought some of the gestures would feel like a gimmick, but I find myself using them regularly. The build quality seems really good. The sound quality is phenomenal. But most importantly, the noise cancelling is genuinely insane. I have tested it in so many places including a crowded, loud arcade and I genuinely could not hear a thing. I love these headphones and they are definitely worth the purchase.

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.

Posted .Hi Bstavig,
We are beyond pleased to hear that your new WH-1000XM6 headphones are the best you’ve ever owned! Hearing a "10/10" rating for both sound and comfort is the ultimate reward for our design team, who worked tirelessly to refine this latest generation.
To achieve that level of comfort, we reintroduced a foldable design and utilized a wider headband to distribute pressure more evenly during long listening sessions. The exceptional sound quality you're enjoying is powered by our new HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3—which is seven times faster than previous versions! We are really glad that the evolution of our flagship headphones has made such a positive impact on your music.
Thank you for choosing Sony.

Best over the head headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my mom for her birthday because I LOVE my XM5's and wanted to get her the latest model, and she loves it. She wears it every day and the ANC is the best I've ever experienced. If you have the XM5 then maybe it's not worth the upgrade but it's a significant upgrade if you have the XM4s.
