Can be stolen easily/no gps
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It doesn't have GPS or any way to track it, so my first pair was stolen at the gym I go to and there's no way to track it, plus these aren't as comfortable as the previous version, in terms of sound and noise cancellation they are incredible, I would give them a 9/10

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing. Its my first top quality headset but I love it. Some very loud children yelling still maes it through noise cancellation; but if you also have music going you’ll be fine. Very comfortable for wearing while you work for sevral hours.

Nice headphones, but a bit pricey
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these for my college student. Nice headphones with decent sound and noise cancelling. I also have 2 pairs of Bose QuietComfort. I don’t think the So us are substantially better to justify the higher cost.

Sony XM6's
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good pair of headphones with great sound quality, I think they sound too muddy. I use a pair of air pods max and I feel like the sound quality doesn't compare unless you like a more bassy sound. Airpods have a more balance sound. Great build quality and very nice case. Simply wasn't for me.

Sony has the best sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you skipped the XM5 because they didn't fold or felt flimsy, the XM6 is the upgrade you’ve been waiting for. It’s easily the best all-around headphone on the market right now.

Noise Cancellation Exceptional
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise canceling is very impressive. The sound quality may be a bit behind some competitors. However, in my opinion, the whole package that you get from these headphones is unbeatable. If you can get these on sale, I would say that the other headphones can’t compete. I’ve used these on several flights and it’s even blocked out screaming babies. I recommend these to anyone who needs incredible noise canceling

The Best for Trebles/ANC, But Bass Enjoyers Beware
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While the XM6s have technically superior active noise cancelling and definition on higher frequencies like trebles and mids, they lack the excellent, impactful bass of previous generations like the XM3 and XM4. Equalization efforts do not fix this. If bass is important to you, I would recommend checking out the previous generations instead (but avoiding the XM5s as their bass is also muddy and weak). If high frequency clarity or noise cancelling are most important to you instead, then the XM6s do perform better, but at a much steeper price tag.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi AudioJack, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding the WH-1000XM6 headphones. We sincerely apologize for any disappointment you’ve experienced with the bass performance compared to previous models. We appreciate your insights, as they help us improve our products and better serve our customers.
In addition to adjusting the equalizer settings, we recommend checking the fit of your headphones, as a snug fit can enhance bass perception. Additionally, ensuring that the headphones are fully charged can positively affect performance, as battery levels can influence sound quality.
Thank you for considering Sony products and for your thoughtful input.

Uncomfortable but I loved the controls
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The touch controls on this headset are incredible! Sadly I had to return because the clamp force is too tight for all day wear and my ears touched the inside of the headphones making them uncomfortable for all day wear
