Hearing music like it's MEANT to be heard
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you’ve never heard a bassoon concerto through the Sony XM6, you haven’t really heard a bassoon concerto. These headphones take an instrument that already lives in that gorgeous twilight zone between melancholy and mischief and elevate it into something almost cinematic. They turned every concerto into a private performance, every phrase into a moment, every cadenza into a small spiritual awakening!! These are worth it from a classical music lover!

Must get purchase
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly these are really good headphones. I did my research and read all the reviews and these always came on top so I had to get a pair. They have really good noise cancellation and sound quality. The only complaint o have is that sometimes the app is finiky and the ear cups are a tad bit small for my large ears but other than that I can easily wear these all day long with minimal discomfort.

LOVE THESE HEADPHONES
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely the best headphones I’ve ever had. My only con would be that the headphones are not Apple ecosystem friendly and if you’re using them for the gym go with the black as it will sweat/dirt immediately.

The ANC is surprising
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ANC is truly amazing. So is the sound quality, the only thing is its missing a bit of low end base. I did expect these to sound like previous sony hesdphones that had really good bass bus these are missing that festure. I'd give it 4.5 star.

Best quality sound overall.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the rich sound that comes from these headphones. The bass is just perfect. It's clean bass, not that dirty bass. The only thing i dislike is the materials. They feel cheaply made compared to other headphones I've had in the past. I wouldn't pick any other headphones over these.

I fell in love with music again.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What can I say… m listening to music a lot more tha. I did in the past 10 years. I’m rediscovering music,!finding new artist, listening for hours and actually look forward to using the everyday. My AirPods are currently collecting dust. My only minor critique is about the material. It’s a print magnet. Ts hard to keeping looking fresh. And a suggestion we need tracking, native tracking when headphone are actually powered down. They are a must thou.

Better than Bose for me!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these! Had Bose Ultras. For me, these are more canceling. And the silver blends with my Michael McDonald-esque hair. Took a picture of how they fit into the case for reference. :-)

Great sound quality but not so great build
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For solely sound quality I’ll give 5 but the reduced rating is for the questionable build partly due to the hinge allowing rotation for folding in case. The Bose UC would probably have been a better choice only for this reason. The other reason would be the depth of the ear cushions. I find my ears touching the inner membrane. I replaced with Wicked Cushions but that didn’t solve the problem fully.

Posted .Hi AksN,
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback with us. We’re really glad to hear you’re happy with the sound quality.
However, we’re sorry the hinge design and ear cushion fit haven’t fully met your expectations. Your comfort is important to us and we appreciate you letting us know about these concerns.
One helpful tip is to try adjusting the position of the headband, as this can often relieve pressure on your ears and improve comfort.
Thanks for choosing Sony. We really value the time you took to express your thoughts.
Warm regards,
