WH-1000XM6 Flagship Noise Cancelling Over-Ear Wireless Bluetooth Headphones, Signature Hi-Res Sound, Ultimate Comfort, Foldable Design, Durable Case, 30 HR Battery, iOS & Android - Black

Very comfortable with excellent noise cancellation and sound quality. Great battery life and they look great. Great connectivity via Bluetooth. Excellent product with easy to use practical functions.

I don't generally do reviews on Amazon, but I have to say that getting these Sony headphones in Blue for a discount, also used up some gift vouchers, have been fantastic. I have had other noise cancelling headphones before which have been good, but these are a different league, they are superb at blocking out background noise on my bus commute, sat in the office the hum of the heating system is taken away, but yet if you let the ambient noise in, they are also excellent. I accept they are expensive if bought at full price, but any kind of discount and these are an excellent deal. They are very comfy to wear for hours on end, battery life seems very good, but too early to tell fully. Box and the way they fold is very good, overall I really like these and look forward to wearing them and use them for a mix of music, videos and teams calls. All sound great with plenty of EQ options to tailor to your liking. Overall I like the Sony sound, but I guess if you are a real Bass junkie they might not go deep enough for you, but as an overall round sund it's all clear and sounds good to my ears. A really good and top notch set of headphones.

In love with these - use them around the house, whilst commuting and at the gym and the quality is second to none. The noise cancelling is top notch and I love that when I start moving between equipment at the gym it changes to allow me to hear what’s going on around me but gets me right back in the zone when I’m ready to carry on. The location features are pretty nice too, setting my music up when I arrive at the gym automatically etc. lots of other functionality that I’ve only scratched the surface of but I’m loving these so far. Music control with a touch panel integrated into the headset is intuitive and easy to get along with - I’ve never liked it on my AirPods Pro. Great battery life and good connectivity with my phone and PC via Bluetooth. Great purchase at the Black Friday deal I got too!

Very good, and no doubt the top noise cancelling around, but incredibly uncomfortable for anyone without tiny ears. It was so bad I had to send them back. This is because the headphone depth isn't that much, combined with the drivers angled to stick out into the earphone cup, which I don't understand and makes then way, way more uncomfortable than other headphones and seems worse than the pain felt wearing the XM3, XM4 or XM5. Had to go with Bose QC Ultra instead in the end instead. Another issue is they honestly just look crap and super cheap. Compared to the objectively cool look of the Bowers and Wilkins Px7 s3 headphones for example, it's embarrassingly bad. Lastly, the sound is truly terrible out of the box. It's muddy and disappointing. I genuinely can't understand what they were thinking. However, fortunately, this can be adjusted and then the sound is actually great. So an initial pain but fixable.

Recently purchased these after owning a pair of xm4s Watched a lot of YouTube reviews on these and they got great reviews so wanted to buy a pair and see for myself. First impressions was the magnetic case which is quite cool. No more zips. After trying the headphones on I could tell that the headband was not as soft as the xm4 headphones. Much less padding making it not as comfortable for someone with not much hair. Also the clamping force as others have said is more on this headphone. I wouldn't say its "uncomfortable" as such, but just not as comfortable as the xm4. After 10 minutes of use you can really feel that you are wearing these headphones vs the lightweightness of the xm4s. I also think the angle of the cups are such that they are in contact with each other all the time. Unsure if this will soften up over time. Can see from picture the differences. Regarding the sound I compared both side by side listening to a range of songs on Spotify with the highest audio setting. I would say the sound is slightly better on the xm6 in that its more clear and things seem more pronounced. Also helps within the sony app that there is now 10 bar eq vs 5 with the xm4 so can be tuned better to the required sound that you like. I also like the different sound stages with cinema mode and background music, think thats quite a good little extra. Noise cancellation is slightly improved over xm4 however wouldn't say its drastically improved. Did a few tests with background sounds on (eg having fan on and other sounds too) and the xm6 completely removed the sound whereas xm4 could faintly hear the noises but not massively different in my opinion. The transparency/ambient mode to me was a lot better. No more muffled sound like with the xm4s. Could easily and clearly hear the sound around you. Not tested making a call with these on as didnt buy them for this purpose so can't really comment on this. I think the xm6s look more modern and sleek vs the older xm4s. There is also a more protruding mic in the headphones of the xm6s. I didnt notice it myself when I tried them on however you can see it if you look closely in the headphones. Pros ✅️Great sounding quality ✅️Anc and ambient mode are great ✅️Look stylish and modern ✅️They fold Cons ❌️Price ❌️Clamping force ❌️Not as comfortable as older xm4 Overall I only had the headphones for one day and returned unfortunately and will be using the xm4s which is a shame as I was looking forward to these and wanted to like them more. To me if im upgrading an item it needs to have all the benefits of the last model and the extra benefits and features of the latest model. For me it wasn't there. The headband alone made it too uncomfortable to use for longer than 30 minutes at a time. I'd also say ignoring the price if they were both the same price id still pick the xm4s as would rather have more comfort and for it to have less clamping force vs the extra benefits of the xm6s. Hope this helps anyway. Just being honest and happy to share my thoughts.

1. Cancellazione attiva del rumore (ANC) eccellente Il nuovo processore QN3 più potente e i 12 microfoni (rispetto agli 8 del modello precedente) offrono un’ANC adattiva veramente top di categoria, che si regola in tempo reale in base all’ambiente (treno, ufficio, aeroporto), garantendo un silenzio impressionante . 2.

I tried: Sony vs Bose vs JBL Sony XM5 and XM6 Bose - Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth and Standard QuiteComfort JBL - JBL Tour One M3 but BY NOISE CANCELLING... MAMA MIA... Sony XM6 are GODMODE... Bose and JBL = NOT EVEN CLOSE... Sony XM6 is like 10 out of 10 for noise Cancelling... Bose would be like 7.5 to 8, JBL would be 6 ... Noise cancelling on these is ULTRA good... much much better than XM5 and anything I ever tried... EXAMPLE: A visitor to my office was 'looking for me' and I had them on... he came up to me and was calling my name... I did NOT hear him at ALL... people had to message me on Slack to tell me that there 'was a visitor behind me' calling my name... I did NOT hear him at ALL... even though he was standing right behind me... if you have Music playing and these ON... YOU WILL HEAR NOTHING except for Music... XM6 = GOD MODE NOISE CANCELLING = Confirmed! ps: By sound, I prefered JBL... I tweeked Sony Equalizer and got very close to JBL... also it depends on what 'song' is playing... sometimes Sony had better sound, sometimes JBL... also on Sony, 'out of the box' 'clamping force' was a LOT stronger than JBL and Bose... but overtime they 'losenned up' and all is good... took me around 2 days for them to 'losen' up...

Incredible product, the noise cancelling is amazing, the app gives you some great features, battery lasts a long time. I’ve used it in the airplane and it’s a game changer when it comes to cancelling all the noise around

Fantastiska lurar! Underbart ljud! Klart o balanserat. Massor av inställningar.Toppen i prisklassen!

Una de las razones por las que comprar los XM6 ha sido que han vuelto a ser plegables, vengo de unos XM4 y no hice la transición a los XM5 por este motivo. Este nuevo modelo se siente mas confortable, especialmente en la parte superior que apoya la cabeza, también me da la sensación de ser mas envolvente, no pensaba que pudiera ser así puesto que los XM4 ya eran super cómodos, tengo la sensación de que al apoyarse mas en las orejas respecto al XM4 hace menos daño en la parte superior de la cabeza, algo que se agradece cuando llevas varias horas con ellos. La bisagra que pliega los cascos tiene una robustez mayor, ahora es de metal al contrario que su modelo anterior. Respecto a los XM4 la cancelación de ruido a mejorado, quizás sea por el nuevo procesador (QN3) pero escucho menos ruidos del exterior, Pero donde mas he notado la diferencia es en la calidad del audio en las llamadas, el micrófono se escucha mucho mejor gracias al aumento de micrófonos. Por otro lado la calidad de Sonido me parece que tiene un sonido mas nítido y detallado, especialmente en frecuencias altas, los bajos me parecen que están mas controlados y con mayor definición que los XM4, siempre mejorando lo excelente. Por ultimo, otra cosa que me ha encantado es que ahora si se pueden cargar los auriculares mientras se usan, cosa que antes no se podia, ya no tienes que interrumpir tus sesiones de musica mientras trabajas y los cargas. Puntos a favor: Diseño Plegable con Bisagra Metálica: Recuperan la portabilidad del XM4 y añaden una durabilidad superior a la del XM5. Cancelación de Ruido Superior: Más eficaz y adaptable que en los XM4, y ligeramente mejorada respecto a los XM5. Calidad de Llamadas Excepcional: Un avance muy significativo, especialmente frente a los XM4. Tu voz se escucha clara en cualquier entorno. Sonido Refinado: Más detalle y equilibrio, manteniendo la pegada de los bajos. Mayor Comodidad: Mejor ajuste para un uso prolongado. Carga y Escucha Simultánea: Una mejora de conveniencia importante. Puntos en contra: Mejoras Sutiles desde los XM5 (salvo diseño y llamadas): Si ya tienes los XM5, el salto no es tan dramático como de los XM4 a los XM6 en la mayoría de los aspectos.
