Good sound quality and amazing at noise cancelling. However, my headphones were not glued together properly and fell apart within a year.

After rave reviews, purchased the new Sony 1000XM6 - definitely a high end product in materials and quality. The case is sturdy and very portable, which I appreciate for airplane travel. The app is easy to use and functions and settings are a breeze to set up. Sound is fabulous, various EQ settings allow adjustment to personal and music tastes. Music sounds open, clear, with detailed mids and highs that are never sibilant, bass is powerful and not muddy. The headphones sit very comfortably and clamping forces are just right. ANC is simply jaw dropping! Gesture controls on the right cup are intuitive and easy, but I wish the annoying confirmation ding for volume and track selection could be switched off completely and not end at - 2, that's my only gripe, really

This is my first time trying out the headphone side of things with Sony. I’ve tried the xm4 earbuds, that were ok but call quality sucked. I jumped ship and bought Bose quietcomfort earbuds when they released. I loved the Bose earbuds but they had the same issue. Terrible call quality too. I heard a lot about the xm5 headphones, right as I was about to finally purchase the xm5s the Xm6s ended up releasing so I gave them a try. I love these headphones! Great ANC and call quality finally! The sound profile is pretty good but I can’t say it’s the best I’ve heard. I can say it’s very solid and well rounded though. I wish the headphones didn’t smudge so easily tho. I have the black ones. All in all I don’t have any complaints or regrets!

The case is elegant, small and very easy to open. The noise-cancelling is like no other. However, my favourite is the improvement in the ambient sound mode. You can almost forget you are using headphones when the ambient sound mode is on.

Ordered these headphones on day one. Skipped WH-1000XM5 because I heard that the bass was lacking. After listening to the WH-1000XM6 all I can say is welcome back king of bass and the sound is great. I listen to Drum n Bass and these headphones are great for people who like bass and this without any need for Equalization.

Best Headphones Ever

These were bought by my wife as a surprise gift to replace my ageing WH 1000 XM3 headphones which still look & perform flawlessly after a few years of excellent service. The first improvement I noticed was the hard carry case, the magnetic clasp minus the zip is a great idea, I alsolike the foldable design Sony have gone back to, definitely a plus. Audio quality is just as I expected from Sony, noise cancelling just gets better, hearing music is taken to the next level. We do a lot of long distance coach & train travel & this where noise cancelling with Sony headphones excels, all ambient noise in removed easily.

I have ordered these on the first day they are available and received today. Used these headphones for few hours explored all the options and sturdy levels etc., over all these headphones again falls in premium category just like XM5 for sure and remains as top tier in ANC headphones category….materials feels little more premium compared to XM5…sound quality improved a lot with that punch bass and well detailed sound…headband feels comfortable compared to XM5…ear cushions feels comfortable as well for longer use in travels etc., …only thing I felt downside is the ear cups not the ear cushions…we can detach the ear cups and replacement with new but Sony could have used design like AirPods Max and Sonos Ace magnetic detach and attach option…once you detach the ear cups all the drivers inside wires are visible not covered with any of other plastic layer…and the under layer clothe used in ear pads is very thin can easily tears off in normal use. These could feel like nitpicking reasons but as these falls in premium headphones and expensive category everything comes into consideration….this was the downside I felt ear-cups design could have been better…apart from this reason I felt all other check points passes…case is well built with magnet closer option and very sturdy to project headphones. Overall if you don’t care on the downside I mentioned, these headphones can be considered for any occasion and mainly if looking for top notch ANC feature and premium quality sound.

Hi Bharat R, Thank you so much for sharing your detailed feedback after receiving your WH-1000XM6 headphones! It is truly wonderful to know that you feel they fall into the premium category, just like the XM5 and remain a top-tier choice for ANC. We really appreciate you noticing the more premium feel of the materials and the improvements in sound quality, especially the punchy bass and detailed sound. It's also great to hear that you find the headband and ear cushions comfortable for longer use, like during travel. We acknowledge your thoughts regarding the ear cup design and the visibility of the internal components when detached. Your feedback about the thin under-layer cloth in the ear pads is also valuable. We always aim to refine our designs and your insights are really helpful for future considerations. We're glad you appreciate the well-built case with the magnetic closure. Thank you again for your comprehensive review and for highlighting the excellent ANC and premium sound quality. Thank you for choosing Sony! Best regards, Stephanie

The MX5 were a great pare but always left me with pain on top of the head which was really uncomfortable. The MX6 solved that problem somehow and improved on ANC which was already top of the competition. They fold nicely on the neck too. Simply the best!

I have only just purchased these to replace my WH1000XM3, I decided previously that the XM4 was not a massive improvement and that they XM5 was actually a backward step when it came to comfort and portabilty, the XM6 is next level, the sound quality is lovely with rich bass and great tone, they are not an extremely high end audiophile headphone but they are close as you will get at the price point, I also tries the Sonos and the Apple AirPods Max (I am in the Apple ecosystem) but kept coming back to the XM6 they are even more comfortable that the XM3, the ear cups are so comfortable and I have been wearing them most of the day with no fatigue, the addition of a proper power button is a real benefit as well. the new ear cup design with the slight angle makes them seat even better and the fact they can be folded again is such a benefit, and the new case with the magnetic open/close is excellent.
