Sony WH-1000XM6 The Best Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones, Black | HD NC Processor QN3, 12 Microphones, Adaptive NC Optimizer, Mastered by Engineers, Studio-Quality, Up to 30 Hrs of Battery

Kinda expensive but well worth the price, you cannot hear anything in them, weither that be someone screaming at you or a blowdryer going off. The sound quality is also unreal, you can bop to this all day and it still hits the next time you put it on. Also the battery life is quite good, I barley have to charge it even after 3-4 days of heavy use. A lot better then my previous Hesh ANC headphones. Also while it isn't mentioned anywhere it is quite water resistant, I wash dogs for a living and they tend to shake and get you soaked and they have'nt rusted or degraded at all, at least from what I can see. Also unlike my previous headphones it has not pulled out my hair a single time when adjusting it, but that makes sense for $500 dollar headphones, the middle section bends quite a lot to but puts little force on your head so it remains quite comfortable for different sized heads. Also unlike my previous headphones again it never interupts you music to say low battery, it only does that once at 10% and lowers your music a tad to say that then ramps the volume back up again. I will say however I kinda like the physical buttons of my previous headphones a lot more then the swipe controls, even though they do not fail as often as you might think physical buttons just, never fail, its annoying when you go to up the volume and you skip the song thats all. It is a buy for me, and I would do it again, the ANC is just to good, you feel like your in a library all the time, even if someone is leafblowing right next to you, it is actually unreal.

5 stars if you didn't have the xm5. Can't provide a software or specs review, but here's what I thought about the fit and use of the headphones. I was a bit hesitant about getting the xm6 since I had the xm5, but decided to go for it and gave my xm5 to a family member. Band width: The xm5 was the only pair of headphones I can wear for longer than 2.5 hrs without causing a headache, but even then, because of how narrow the width of the band was I still had to take it off periodically. The xm6 has a wider band so the pressure is more evenly distributed. I've successfully left it on my head for 4.5 hrs without pain. The power button!: a significant improvement from the xm5 because it is now a different shape from the ANC button!! No more accidentally pressing the power! The noise canceling aspect is still top notch as before. I wore this in the same room as a preschool music class learning how to play musical instruments and singing, and the sounds were so well dampened I can treat their voices as white noise. (At the same time I've also worn the xm5 next to a crying baby on a 18hr flight and I slept better than that baby did) The foldability of the xm6 is probably the biggest difference. Personally, the xm5 never bothered me because it stays around my neck during travel. I actually keep folding it the wrong way, which is a problem for me😂. I do like that the case is magnetic as opposed to zippers because it's much easier to open/close one handedly. The position of the cups(?) are more angled than the xm5, which in my case, made it slightly more susceptible to sliding off of my head, but not enough that it becomes a problem. I think the ambience mode is not as muted as the xm5, which I don't like, but I do love that you can always adjust your preference in the app. I wish the cord included comes in the same color as the headphones though. Overall, on it's own, this is a good headphone, but I don't think there's enough adjustments to justify the price tag if you have the xm5. It's good if you're looking for the specific upgrades, but if you're on a budget it's not worth the extra $150-200.

These are easily the best headphones I've ever used. I've been using these headphones for almost a year. To level set I'm not an audiophile. I'm interested in a products that fill a need are easy to use and works every time. There are a lot more qualified people than me to review the sound quality, I can only say that I have no issues or concerns there are tons of features in the app that I I've never felt the need to use. If you're interested in that level of detail there are plenty of YouTube videos that give you tutorials on those features. The things I do care about are how easily can I connect to my devices. And the multi point connection on theses are the best implementation of this type of feature I've ever used, it can easily switch between my phone, tablet, personal computer and my work computer. Call quality is great, background noise canceling during calls is excellent it rejects wind noise on calls when outside. There's a quick and easy microphone mute feature while on calls that I frequently use while on teams calls. When listening to music the noise canceling is excellent. The noise pass through feature makes it as though you're not wearing headphones. I'm a huge fan of real tactile buttons so I was concerned about these headphones having a touch sensitive pad but I have had zero issues using it. The Bluetooth connection is rock solid, the battery life is long enough that I can use it on and off for about a week before charging, mind you your mileage may vary depending on how much you use it. I was impressed enough with these headphones that I also purchased the new Sony xm6 earbuds, however that is a different story for another review. While it was challenging to overcome the initial purchase price, I have been extremely pleased with the value these headphones provide. For anyone in the market for a high-end set of headphones these should absolutely be considered, even if they are above your initial budget. I would highly recommend.

I have the AirPods Pro max, and tbh it’s up to personal preference. These are lighter (which is what I wanted), but also have kind of a cheap feeling because they are made of recycled material, especially compared to the Apple ones. But they’re light compared to the heavy Airpods pro (heavy but great quality). I also realized you can’t have these super loud in quiet places because others can clearly hear your music. With the Apple ones you can have it almost ALL the way up. With these you can have it around less than half way up. These are also HUGE from the sides. Makes me feel goofy, I thought the Apple ones were huge boy were these bigger. Besides all that they’re actually good headphones and I use them to run and exercise since the Apple earmuffs are made of a material that soaks sweat (ew). So these are definitely better to run and exercise!!. the Apple ones have cons too like randomly muting/requiring resets every other time I use them because they refuse to connect, they loose battery even while I’m not using them even if they’re in the case which I don’t understand 😭. They’re super heavy which can cause headaches. Super good quality/ sound tho. Like I said it’s up to preference. I use the Apple ones during fall/winter (since they also act as warm earmuffs lol) and I’ll use these during summer and spring/gym

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!

I owned the Sony WH-1000XM4 for over five years and absolutely loved them. The only reason I upgraded was because they eventually developed a high-pitched ANC issue in the right ear. Otherwise, I would probably still be using them. Before replacing them, I bought both the Sony WH-1000XM6 and the Bose QuietComfort Ultra (2nd Generation) to compare side by side. I also considered the latest Apple AirPods Max 2, but I use my headphones for mowing, vacuuming, long podcast sessions, and travel. Weight was important to me, and both the Sony and Bose are much lighter than the AirPods Max, so I decided not to test the heavier option. After several days of testing, I decided to keep the XM6. I actually found them more comfortable, even though the Bose often gets more praise for comfort. The Bose earcups touched the lower part of my ears just enough to become distracting, while the Sony completely surrounded my ears. I also have to give Bose credit for the design. In my opinion, the QuietComfort Ultra looks more premium, upscale, and stylish than the XM6. Sound quality is excellent on both. The Bose has a smooth, natural, cinematic presentation, and there were a few songs where I thought it sounded fantastic. However, I realized I prefer a more forward, energetic sound. The XM6 has more bite, vocals feel closer, and the music feels more alive and engaging. The Bose sometimes made the music sound like it was being presented from farther away. The deciding factor for me was active noise cancellation. While mowing my lawn and vacuuming, the XM6 blocked noticeably more noise than the Bose, which made a real difference in everyday use. Both are outstanding headphones, and I don’t think you can go wrong with either. If you prefer a smooth, cinematic presentation and a more upscale design, the Bose is an excellent choice. If you prefer a lighter, energetic sound with forward vocals, stronger ANC, and outstanding comfort, I think the Sony WH-1000XM6 is the better choice. One final note: I purchased the Like New option, which was advertised as new in the box, and that’s exactly what I received. The headphones arrived factory new, and the only imperfection was two very small indentations on the outside of the box. I saved a significant amount compared to buying new, so I’d definitely choose the Like New option again. It was also originally estimated to arrive on Monday, but it showed up on Saturday instead, so shipping was even faster than expected.

These headphones are pretty good at cancelling white noise. In fact they are so good at it that they drowned out everything else except the screaming child behind me on the airplane, which made it even more painful to listen to music. The older models were good at canceling white noise AND talking around me, so well that I could not even hear the person sitting next to me having a conversation, but these headphones (the 6th gen) are not that. They will only block out white noise and not conversations. So if you need them for flying or office work and are hoping to use them to drown out loud talking around you they will disappoint in that regard. The headphones felt tight on my head which caused some headaches, which is why I will be returning them. They made the headband flatter this time, which may have contributed to that feeling of tightness. The ear cups feel smaller as well, which made my ears feel a bit cramped and hot on the 6 hour flight. I am a big Sony fan and have owned gen 1 all the way to gen 6 of these headphones, and while I appreciate the overall refinement of this model, I still prefer my older gen headphones because they a) block out voices and b) feel roomier on my head and ears. Some positives that I appreciate from the m6 are - background music mode, this was cool and i could see myself using it if i decided to keep them - bigger power button on the left ear cup - folding design that fits into compact case - use with two devices - sound quality (although it does feel like you need the volume up higher to get the full effect? was kind of underwhelming at lower volumes which is generally how i use these) - materials quality seemed nice, but mine did have some paint buildup on the headband Overall, these are quality headphones. If you plan to use these in your room or away from other people, you will probably really like them. But If you want to use them in loud public spaces (cafes/planes/office) you may be disappointed.

I got this to replace my aging Sony WH-1000XM4. I loved them so much, so I couldn't imagine getting anything other than the newer model. Positives: These headphone are probably at the top for sound quality with bluetooth connection. The software for it has good sound quality and filtering options. Additionally, the auto shut off it great at detecting inactivity, so the battery saving is more efficient than earlier models. Negatives: Very uncomfortable to first wear, and it takes a long time adjusting to it. The clamp is abnormally strong. On top of that, the head support is made to be much thinner than the XM4, decreasing the support around the top of the head, and centering the pressure into one centered location. This headphone gave me headaches for the first three months. From either the slight pain from the pressure on top of my head, and around the sides of my head where the clamp pressure was at the highest, which was usually where my glasses were being clamped into the sides of my head. (Tip I learned later: if you are getting this in the future, you can put this around something that is slightly bigger that your head when you aren't wearing it, to help adjust the clamp pressure earlier). I would say it took me about 4 months to fully adjust to it, which is a pretty long time. And I wear my headphones probably around 10-12hrs+ a day. But at least now it is super comfortable haha. Do not ask me why I stuck through it.

As someone who has owned both the XM4 and XM5 models, I can say the XM6 is the update I've been waiting for. Sony fixed the main frustrations from the previous version and made it much more practical. Easier to Pack and Carry The folding design is back. While the previous version looked great, it was bulky to pack. The new magnetic case is also a great touch, it snaps shut easily and is much handier for those of us who actually keep our headphones protected. It's perfect for travel Better Device Switching & Charging Switching between your phone and laptop is finally smooth. You can now manually choose which device is playing the sound, so you don't have to worry about the headphones getting confused between two sources. A massive improvement is the ability to charge while the headphones are on. You can charge the battery without being disconnected from your devices, which gets you back in action easily without the usual downtime. NC & Sound Quality: : It does a better job of cutting out background voices and airplane engines than the XM5. The music is clear and powerful without feeling muffled.

App on phone was a bit of a pain to set up but works OK once they are connected. The ear pads are nice and comfortable. I personally don't think the sound quality reflects the price but that's just my own opinion.

Superb sound. Set equaliser to clear. Comfortable. Great quality build and foldability.

The headphones are amazing and 100% worth the price! Sound quality and depth is great wireless and the noise cancelling is phenomenal especially whilst travelling. I appreciate being able to have two bluetooth devices connected at the same time, as it swaps automatically between them when audio is played (for example I'll have it connected to my Switch, but when I receive a call on my phone itll move there). I appreciate having a button for quickly switching between ANC and Ambient noise - and the ambient / transparency mode is the best I've ever heard, its just as good as taking the headphones off to talk to someone, whereas on my earphones its normally better to just take them out. The touch controls take some getting used to but are good, I wish you could use both sides for navigation but only the right ear cup has the touch sensor. I have these in blue and the colour isnt as vibrant as I would like - in most lighting it looks more like a black plastic thats faded rather than a nice blue colour. I think I'd have chosen black if given the choice, for that bolder colour.

Eu não tenho tempo para avaliar os produtos que compro, mas esse vendedor faço questão de avaliar. Primeiramente, antes de falar do fone, quero falar do vendedor. Simplesmente, o melhor atendimento que recebi aqui na Amazon em mais de 12 anos usando a plataforma. Vendedor educado, paciente, disposto a responder todas as minhas dúvidas rapidamente. Atendimento de qualidade. A atenção dele foi essencial para eu adquirir o produto, pois já tinha o 1000WH4 e tinha algumas dúvidas. Nunca recebi um tratamento desse, com tanto cuidado e paciência. Vou comprar outro fone com ele, para a minha irmã. Além do preço ser imbatível e o melhor da internet, fui muito bem tratado antes de comprar e no pós venda. Mesmo se fosse um pouco mais caro que a rede vizinha, compraria nessa loja (Imagem Hitech) pois, para mim, o jeito que sou tratado vale muito mais do que alguns reais. Além disso, o produto veio muito bem embalado, caixa totalmente lacrada, produto 100% original e com nota fiscal, o que não vê na rede vizinha que só dá um recibo. A entrega foi surpreendente, muito rápida, mais uma vez, o vendedor está de parabéns, não é à toa que é o melhor vendedor desse fone na Amazon. Quanto ao fone, o primeiro ponto é que eu tenho o 1000WH4 que já é extremamente bom. Então, fiquei meio receoso em investir nesse. Porém, a qualidade do 1000WH6 é absurda e melhorou uns 85% em relação ao 1000WH4. Comprei o fone por causa do cancelamento de ruído, pois uso ele para estudar e é algo assustador e absurdo de tão bom. Tenho um ar-condicionado portátil que faz um barulho muito alto e o cancelamento de ruído consegue sumir com o barulho quase que 100%, consigo estudar tranquilamente e o ar-condicionado fica do meu lado. Valeu muito a pena o upgrade. O fone vale cada centavo, compraria de novo a ainda tem parcelamento sem juros, o que é outro diferencial que só se encontra aqui, com esse vendedor. Na rede vizinha, o parcelamento é com juros, pelo menos, onde eu vi. O acabamento do fone é perfeito e extremamente confortável tanta na cabeça quanto nos ouvidos. Ele é leve e compacto pois é possível dobrá-lo, conforme vem na caixa. A caixa é um luxo só, a case não tem nem zíper, pois tem um fecho magnético. Linda demais! A estrutura dele é bem mais reforçada do que o 1000WH4. A bateria dele dura muuuuuuuuito e o carregamento é ultrarrápido. Embora eu tenha comprado ele com o fim de estudar, o som é uma coisa surreal. Não tenho muito conhecimento sobre o som, porém, vi um vídeo onde se compara o fone 1000WH6 com os melhores fones do mercado e ele foi eleito o melhor fone do mundo no cancelamento de ruído e o melhor fone do mundo em relação ao som também. Segue o nome do vídeo: "Melhores Fones de Ouvido de 2025//Sony WH-1000XM6, Airpods Max,Bose QC Ultra, Nada (1)". minuto 16:41 (conclusão). Além de tudo isso, tem um aplicativo muito top que dá para configurar várias funções: Aplicativo “Sound Connect”. Mais uma vez, ressalto, esse vendedor é top demais. Recebi um tratamento digno e respeitoso, coisa que não se vê por aí. Indico de olhos fechados".
