Sony WH-1000XM6 Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones - Black

Sound quality is great but connection to PC is terrible. I had to by extra third party software to make them connect. With a headphone at this premium price i was stunned that they didn't work out of the box and i had to spend a few hours to find a workaround.

I purchased these because my beats studio pro from a few years ago physically broke in such a way that they could no longer be repaired with duct tape. They are hands down the best noise cancelling Ive ever tried. So good that its spooky, you can feel that there is sound in the space around you, logically you but you cant hear it. Right now I am sitting in an AirBnB, the AC unit sounds like an idling truck engine, I measured it at its source to be 70 Decibels. These headphones nearly completely mute it, out of the box. The build quality is quite good, and the design and comfort of the headphones is also very good, their is not any pressure or discomfort of any kind. other reviews mention that the firmware in some cases doesn't seamlessly allow you to transfer or share the Bluetooth stream between multiple devices such as your phone AND your computer. Such functionality might not realistically be possible with the type of wireless protocol Bluetooth is, but if that is your use case maybe try the the apple product also. For exceptionally good audio and design get these.

Bought these headphones ahead of a 24 hours flight from UK to Australia. There were a lot of screaming kids and babies on this flight and the noise cancelling of these worked flawlessly. I wore them throughout the entire flight and when I landed in Sydney, they still had 70% battery left! Sound quality is awesome, honestly what's not to like, love these...

Here’s a polished version of your review that keeps all your points but is clearer, more professional, and correct for typos and grammar: I bought the Sony WH‑1000XM6 a couple of weeks ago. Overall, the sound is good, and it would be nice if they sounded a bit better out of the box, but sound quality is not the main problem. The biggest issues are connectivity and multi‑device behavior. When the headphones are connected to both a MacBook and an iPhone, audio from the iPhone usually won’t play while the MacBook is active unless I explicitly disconnect the MacBook. The dual‑device connection feature is very buggy in practice. Connecting to the Sony | Sound Connect app on iPhone is also very glitchy and often forces me to disconnect my laptop audio first. The fingerprint issue is also terrible. I regularly wipe them down with a microfiber cloth and light glasses cleaner spray, which cleans them off, but the moment I touch them again, new marks appear all over. The finish picks up fingerprints extremely easily. Once the EQ is customized, they sound good, but at this price point I would expect the connectivity issues across devices and with the app, as well as the fingerprint problem, not to exist. I think Sony should have spent more time on development and testing before releasing these headphones.

Sound okay, not as good as reviews state. Noise cancellation flicks in and out when in a noisy environment. Not much of an upgrade from the xm5 for me. But they do sound nice. But not as good as b&w.

I’ve been using the Sony WH-1000XM6 for a couple of days now, and honestly… they’ve completely changed how I listen to music—and even how I manage my migraines day to day. The first thing that really stood out to me was the noise cancelling. The moment I put them on, the world just fades away. Trains, traffic, people talking—it all disappears into silence. It’s not just blocking sound, it actually adapts to your surroundings in real time, so you feel like you’ve stepped into a calm, controlled space. sony And for me, that’s been life-changing. I get migraines that are often triggered by noise and overstimulation. A few weeks ago, I could feel one starting while I was out—everything got too loud, too sharp, and I knew it was about to hit. Normally, I’d have to leave whatever I was doing and find somewhere quiet (which isn’t always easy). But that time, I just put these on, turned on the noise cancelling, and sat still for a bit. Within minutes, the harshness of the environment was gone. It didn’t magically cure the migraine, of course—but it took the edge off enough that I could actually cope and avoid it getting worse. Since then, I carry them everywhere. They’ve become more of a tool than just headphones. Sound-wise, they’re incredible too. Everything feels rich and immersive without being overwhelming. You start noticing details in songs you’ve never heard before—little background sounds, layers, and textures that bring music to life. It’s warm, clear, and just really enjoyable whether you’re focusing or just relaxing. They’re also ridiculously comfortable. I’ve worn them for hours at a time—working, walking, travelling—and I barely notice they’re there. The headband doesn’t dig in, the ear cups feel soft, and they’re light enough for all-day use. amazon Battery life has been solid as well. I don’t think about charging them much because they just last—and when I do forget, a quick charge gives me hours of use, which has saved me more than once. sony I also love the little details, like the fact they fold again, making them easy to carry around, and how seamlessly they switch between my devices. Everything feels polished and easy to use. engadget If I’m being honest, they are expensive—but at this point, I don’t really see them as just headphones anymore. Final thought: these have become part of my routine. They help me enjoy music, focus better, and most importantly, manage my migraine triggers when I need it most—and that alone makes them absolutely worth it for me.

These headphones are more comfortable than the previous model wh1000mx5, the sound is also better

Great NC but not so great sound a litle bit expensive.

Cancel my order for no reason

Bought a couple of weeks ago I use them mainly in the gym they are without doubt the best headphones I have ever owned ……..light weight crystal clear sound noise cancelling ……etc etc…. Well worth the money …..

Really enjoy my headphones. They are crisp with a clear sound. Very light weight and look sleek.

I bought this a few weeks ago and am very pleased with it. One minor quibble is that there are no voice signposts in English to tell you what has happened when you press a button, as there were on my WH4 version. An electronic sound on its own is not helpful and I can't find any way to switch vocal signposts (if they are available) on. Otherwise, full marks.

Great noise cancelling function and perfect fit. I did try bose headphones too, one of the latest version and it wasn't that comfortable though I did enjoy the immersion mode but not necessarily a must to have.

A great product and most definitely an upgrade to my previous Sony headphone, a. must buy

Fantastic product and love it so much ❤️ Just love it.

The noise cancelling ability’s of these headphones are superb.

These are great and have great features. Comfortable for long usage and don’t have as much radio frequency as airpods

Went from a bose to this, sound wise, to me the bose beats this hands down on sound quality and even its overall volume and comfort, dont get me wrong, it has some cool gimmicks but I still wished I used my money on the latest bose headphones instead of this 1

Bought this last week, amazing quality, noise cancellation is great! Feature’s it comes with is amazing.

Well refined version of a popular ultra spec NC headphone. I am enjoying these especially now the mics are so impressive
