I'm impressed
|Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] Alright the noise canceling capabilities are unbelievable, the ambient mode sounds nearly completely natural, i heard a leaky faucet while in ambient with music playing, the don't sound so airy, the bass is solid and the new background music mode seems useful. The ai powered theater mode (spacial audio) seems hit & miss but isn't terrible.

Exceptional experience over QC35s.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Moving to the XM6 from Bose QC35. The sound quality is way superior and the noise cancelling is absolutely amazing. Flew with the XM6 and it was honestly very good. They cancel out all the constant background noises but also human chatter. The ambient sound mode is exceptional as well! Walked around the airport with the headphones on in the ambient mode and could hear all the chatter around me very very clearly.

These are awesome!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned two other generations of these headphones. These are by far the best. The case is super convenient and these are easier to move around when talking to colleagues in an office setting. I just have to keep a cloth to wipe these off because they’re very easy to get residue from your hands on them.

Step up from the XM5s
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.To be honest, I thought I was done with Sony after the XM5s. They let me down in a lot of ways (sound quality and the hinge for starters). Then I started seeing leaks for the XM6 and I was like “okay one last try”. I’m very glad I did. These are bar none the best cans I’ve owned. I owned AirPods Max and sold them, had B&W Px7 and gave them away for poor noise cancelling. The XM6 finally achieved everything I was looking for in over-ear headphones

Posted .Hello Hhamanot,
Thank you for such an honest and powerful review of the WH-1000XM6 headphones!
We're incredibly grateful you decided to give Sony one more try after your experience with the XM5s. Hearing that the XM6s are "bar none the best cans you've owned"—even after owning and comparing them to premium competitors—truly means a lot to us.
It's fantastic to know that the XM6 finally achieved everything you were looking for in over-ear headphones. We're thrilled to have earned back your trust and delivered an exceptional listening experience!
Thanks for choosing Sony!

Solid Update from the XM4 as an EDC
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Been using this series of headphones since the XM3s and have seen great improvements since. Purchased the XM6s after having the XM4s for several years. Compared to that model, swift pairing has improved and makes it easy to switch between several devices. Love that this keeps the foldable quality like the XM4s and keeps a smaller profile. Only thing that is an issue is when used is that there are times that the tap control features can randomly be activated (voice assistant/pauses audio) via harsh wind or other factors due to sensitivity. Otherwise, this is a great pick up.

Posted .Hi Letmesee,
Thanks so much for being a loyal user of the 1000X series and for sharing your detailed feedback on the new WH1000XM6 headphones! It’s great to hear from someone with firsthand experience across multiple generations of the product.
We're glad that the improvements in swift pairing and the continued focus on a portable, foldable design are making a difference for you.
We appreciate your feedback on the touch control sensitivity! While it is designed to make the controls highly responsive, it can occasionally lead to these accidental activations. One thing you can try is adjusting the touch panel sensitivity in the Sony | Sound Connect app. You can also temporarily disable the touch controls entirely within the app if you're in a particularly windy environment or on a bicycle ride, for example.
Thanks again for the great review and for choosing Sony!
Sincerely,
Jenn | Sony North America.
