Sony WH-1000XM6 The Best Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones, HD NC Processor QN3, 12 Microphones, Adaptive NC Optimizer, Mastered by Engineers, Studio-Quality, 30-Hour Battery, Black

Great sound canceling

Purchased Sony XM6 Headset couple of days and loving it so far. ANC on this headphones were on next level. i also currently own an apple airpod 2. this headset isn't loud as the airpod 2 but the sound quality is much better when you compare to the airpods. Battery life is excellent its been 2 days and i have charged only once still at 50% despite using more often.

The Sound, The Control Features and The App Are So Awesome! Nothing On These Headphones Is Sub-standard! Premium All The Way!

The Sony WH-1000XM6 delivers fantastic sound quality with rich detail and a balanced profile that makes music a joy to listen to. Comfort and battery life are excellent, and the app features add real value. However, while the noise cancelling is strong overall, I wish it did a better job of blocking sharp sounds like metro announcements, which can break the immersion. Still, a great pair of headphones for music lovers.

I had a previous generation and I bought this. I like them more, especially noise cancellation. But a transparent mode also became better, I think. Perfect to use noise cancellation in office to do not hear colleagues talks :) Music is awesome, especially if a source is good/lossless. I slightly disappointed by the ios app because it has, IMHO, a lot of useless features. But if you use it inly for firmware updates - it is fine. I even dont want to try any other headphones (had others before), this line is fully satisfied.

ممتازة مع مرتبة الشرف

The good about this product: Original Sony’s, no doubt. Excellent battery life. Good build quality and sturdy hinges (though newly bought and have not used for extended time). Best in class noise cancellation. The bad about this product: It’s a basic SBC playing device. It may sound better using LDAC on Android phones. But I don’t own one so cannot check. Sony’s own android TVs do not support playback via LDAC which is a shame. In absence of support of better codecs such as AAC/aptx on this headphone, the only thing this expensive headphone can do is to play via SBC which sounds awful. My first generation airpods pro and this headphone sounds the same when connected to Apple devices or Android TVs. The touch controls are poorly implemented. There are too many accidental touches. Have to set prop up in static position or have to disable them entirely to avoid accidental actions.

Brilliant product noise cancellation is second to none

Áudio incrível, realmente impecável. O ANC também é excelente. Quando coloquei na cabeça achei um pouco desconfortável e apertado no começo, mas fui me acostumando com o uso. O preço é meio alto, mas a qualidade de áudio compensa demais. O microfone não é excepcional, mas dá pro gasto. No geral, produto excelente!

Chegou tudo certinho, dentro do prazo. O produto é original, mesmo vindo da China. Apenas a warehouse da Orbitek é de lá.

I have a headphone problem, or so my wife says. I’ve owned the Apple AirPods Max, the Sony XM5’s, the Bose QC and QC Ultra the QC 45’s and 35’s both I and II, the Sonos Ace, and the Beats Studio Pro. Going into my XM6 purchase, my favorite are/were the Bose QuietComfort Ultra. I bought the QuietComfort Ultra during Prime Day for an unbelievable $329! I have found that they offer the best combination of comfort, sound and ANC for the price. So, how does the XM6 compare? The ANC is second to none. I augment our central air with a window unit, which sits right behind my head, and I can completely eliminate its sound. But static sounds are pretty easily muffled by most of newer ANC headphones, so how about dynamic sounds like a tv or normal conversation? The XM6 excel there, too. Put simply, they offer the best ANC of any of the aforementioned headphones. They are also pretty comfortable and clamp down relatively tight, though I haven’t found anything to be as comfortable as either the QC or QC Ultra. The XM6 are designed to be over ear headphones, yet my ear doesn’t seem to fit inside the cup like other over ear headphones. This, in my opinion, makes them less-comfortable then they could/should be. However, the memory foam is a nice touch and does help. The sound is well-balanced and pretty good right out of the box, though I had to make use of the ten-band EQ to get them to sound just a tad better than my QC. With my current EQ settings, I would say they offer the clarity of the Apple AirPods Max, but with the bottom end of my Bose QuietComfort. The bass isn’t overpowering, it’s actually pretty accurate (after EQ tinkering). In the final analysis, the XM6 offer the best sound of any of the headphones I mentioned, but not by much. Furthermore, the ANC is superior to everything else I’ve owned, but not by a staggering amount. So, which should you buy? If you’re like me and in search of the best possible sound, and won’t settle for anything less than the best ANC, then get the XM6. If, however, you prioritize comfort and value, and don’t mind making some very minor concessions regarding sound and ANC, then get the Bose QuietComfort or the QC Ultra (wait until you catch them on sale, which is pretty often). I hope that helps. Happy listening! Update: “6/02/2025: Intermittent crackling in left speaker. Had to return them. I have replaced them, though. Update 06/07/25: I received the replacement pair and everything seems great. I neglected to mention in my previous review how great the Sony app is and how customizable the XM6 are. First, you get a ten band EQ, instead of the Bose three bands. Additionally, there are some awesome (optional) features that are missing from Bose. Sony has speak to chat, which mutes your music and puts your headphones in aware mode when you speak. Also, there is an option to accept or reject calls by simply nodding or shaking your head, which is very cool. If you’re into features like that and general customization, then the Sony XM6 are for you. UPDATE 06/17/2025. Started hearing crackling again in the right speaker this time. This time I did a Google search to see if others were having the same problem, and it seems like turning on DSEE Extreme could be the culprit at high volumes. The DSEE Extreme setting is supposed to upscale compressed files. I turned off the setting and no more crackling. I replayed the same part of the same song with and without it engaged, it it’s definitely the DSEE Extreme. Consequently, I’ve turned off that setting and now everything seems fine.

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.

Excelentes audífonos, despues de haber usado los XM5 cambié a estos y la mayor diferencia que he notado es en la cancelación de ruido y el modo ambiente. Hay ocasiones que escucho mejor con los audifonos puestos cuando esta en modo ambiente que sin ellos, además, son mas comodos. Solo tengo un punto que no me gusto tanto y es que he sentido sentido calor al tenerlos puestos, se calientan las orejas y sudan, después de un rato me los quito y las almohadillas están húmedas. Recomendaría cambiarte a estos? Claro, si hay mejoras notables de su versión anterior y si tienes unos mas antiguos con mayor razón. Pero OJO, aprovecha una oferta porque se me hacen muy caros a su precio actual.
