Title: Great Headphones
Review: Had only tried the beats studio pros before this and have to say these are better all around. They are quite comfortable and the active noise cancelling feature is amazing. Battery life is unbeatable and love the magnetic case it comes in. App is user friendly and sound is customizeable. Very happy with my purchase at this price point.

Title: Sony’s Best Yet!
Review: Each new version of the Sony WH1000 series Wireless Noice canceling headphones has improved over the last version and the WH1000-XM6 is no exception. This is their best headphone yet for sure. The sound is much improved and comes very close in quality to the much more expensive headphones I own like the Dali I-O8, the Focal Bathys and the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H100. The noise canceling is also improved. It still does not block 100% of noise, but no headphones do and it comes closest to that (i saw a test that showed the XM5 blocked 84% and the new XM6 blocks 87% of noise which seems right to me. I love that they listened to their customers and brought back the folding design but did it in an entirely new way rather than fo back to the standard old design. I initially bought the Midnight Blue because of the reported anti-fingerprint coating but was disappointed in it as it still shows off finger smudges (although perhaps not as bad as the previous versions). Due to that I also purchased the Platinum Silver and I love the matte finish on this color which looks so much cleaner and feels more premium, in my opinion. The headphones are comfortable for me with just the right amount of clamping force so that they sit firmly on my head without being uncomfortable. There is a weird sensor on the inside of the ear cups which protrudes out a bit and could be an issue for some although I haven’t had a problem with it. The headband is wider and this adds to comfort level over the previous XM5’s, but not by a large margin. Still, it is better. Also they have added new features which I appreciate such as gestures (nodding up and down to answer a call or side to side to decline a all), voice commands (“headphones turn up the volume, skip this track”, etc. and you can call up your device assistant such as Siri for iPhone by saying “assistant”) and a ten-band equalizer to control the sound as you like it. The case is almost the best part, with the new magnetic enclosure its a snap to open and close. One thing is they added the ability to listen to the headphones while charging, which would be great except the cord provided for charging is so short this isn’t feasible and also there is no USB-C audio which should be a feature as most headphones currently do offer this and is becoming standard issue. I wish they could improve the battery life but 30 hours is fine and certainly serviceable. The other audio modes are mostly useless to me (Background music, Cinema) so i have only tried them once, but I have yet to watch a movie with them so its possible Cinema would work well with that as that is the intention of it after all. I am disappointed they removed the ability to a toggle the Speaker-to-chat on/off by a two-fingered press on the touch pad, now you can only do this in the app. Not sure why they removed it as I found it most handy in the XM5’s. There are enough added and improved features that I feel the increased price is justified and also was inevitable with the Trump tariffs. I think they are worth the cost and have always believed the saying “you get what you pay for”. If out of your price range the XM5 and XM4 are both excellent options for a lower price, but I still recommend the XM6 as the best Sony has to offer!

Title: Best headphones a plebe can buy
Review: I had Bose before I got these, and I was ready to buy more Bose until I researched headphones. The WH-1000XM6 are recommended pretty much across the board for wireless headphones, and I understand why now.Songs I thought I knew note for note sound completely new. I hear things in the background that I never knew were there. Music is a totally different experience with these headphones. To a non-expert, they seem perfectly balanced right out of the box-no tinny sounds, no muffled sounds-just crisp and clear and perfect.It also seems to maintain its Bluetooth connection better than my Bose set did. With those, they would randomly lose connection and I would have to restart them to get my connection back. The Sony headphones haven’t done that once, and I didn’t even realize it was an issue with the Bose until I experienced not having the issue.These headphones also have several “modes” for noise cancellation, and I’ve been appreciating that. You can go full cancellation or no cancellation like usual, or you can do in-between modes that dim background noise but still keep it audible, or mix background with music 50/50 like you’re listening to a speaker in the room. One thing I love about the way it cancels noise is I can hear my voice singing but I hear my voice outside of my skull. Nothing irritates me more than hearing my internal vibrations when I’m trying to sing.The controls are touch and haven’t been annoying yet. They don’t activate Willy nilly and I also haven’t had issues activating them. Battery life seems to be great as well- only one charge needed so far.One opportunity is there is no way to use these for console game chat- so you can use it for gaming but you can’t talk through them. They are so amazing in all other ways that I don’t care.

Title: Nice headphones, great ANC and pass through, mediocre aesthetics, amazing sound quality
Review: Great headphones. Terrible shipping. FedEx is a nightmare!The Sony XM6 has a great battery life lasting all day as long as I charge it at night. The volume controls can be a bit fiddly and hard to get used to, but it’s nice to have a dedicated ANC button. The passthrough mode is crystal clear it’s almost as if I don’t have the headphones on at all, and changing the setting can give you “super hearing”.They are decently comfortable, although I find the inside pressing in my ears more than I’d like which means I have to adjust it quite a bit to keep my ears from aching. The top of the headband easily bends forward and backwards which means they don’t stay in place very well.The design is alright, although I think it could use some flare. They are a bit bulky but I wish the ear separator foam was quite a bit thicker.Having both LDAC high qualityand lc3 low latency codecs are nice bonuses. Although I can’t personally tell the difference between LDAC and the normal codec, I’m sure audiophiles will be happy with it.Now for the most important part for me, the active noise canceling. It works very well turning the humbub of a busy diner or a museum into a very low din. While still barely audible with nothing playing, some very low level music completely drowns it out. Wind doesn’t affect the ANC in any meaningful way, unlike other headphones which sound like blowing into a microphone when there’s any wind.

Review: The headphones are great. The noise cancellation teleports you to another world. Honestly everything is good, comfort, build, quality, sound in general. The only thing keeping me rating this 9/10 instead of 10/10 is the bass. The bass isn’t that great but still good enough.

Review: Cómodos. Buena duración de la batería. Con una cancelación de ruido altamente efectiva. Buen volumen. Modo de transparencia claro. Si se usan para hacer conferencias virtuales, tu voz y la de los participantes se escucharán nítidas, claras – aún cuando aveces los micrófonos de los participantes no sean tan buenos.Buenos para escuchar música, respetando el audio original sin distorcionarlo, pero si quieres aumentar o resaltar los agudos y los graves, puedes instalar su software (Sound connect) y equilizarlos a tu gusto. Tiene muchas opciones esta app.A 13 mil pesos, me parecen caros, pero si encuentras una oferta, aprovéchala.

I think I’d have chosen black if given the choice, for that bolder colour.
