The audio technology is top in class in the wireless ANC headphones category. The sound quality is great, the noise cancelling is best in class, the call quality thanks to the six microphones and the processing is also best in class even with background noise. What is not acceptable is the "casing" of this amazing technology. I bought the blue colour version, and the leather would get stained from my natural hair oil, to the point that I would have to clean them after every use. No thanks, I don't have time for that. No other headphones that I own suffer this problem. Second is the flimsyness of the earcups hinges. They don't feel solid, and with a quick online search, indeed there are many complaints of early failures. No thanks, I am not going to invest this amount of money for something so fragile. I would rather spend the same amount on something maybe less performing in some aspects, but that is going to last. Conclusion: product returned for a reimbursement. If Sony fixes these issues in the XM7 generation, I would definitely buy a pair.

They are light weight and the noise canceling is goood!! I was debating on getting the xm6 or apples Max headphone and glad I got these. I do wish they were louder at full volume but it's probably safer that they are not lol. Great headphones. I'm very happy with them!

Great noise cancellation performance and balanced sound quality but it isn't comfy as expected.

Nicely built, has many features and nice sound quality. But had to return due to multiple issues especially while paired with a macbook and galaxy smartphone. Wear detection didn't work, didn't switch audio during an incoming call, had audio issues during calls, would stop playing music when worn and pause when removed. Found XM5s to be having much more stable firmware and connectivity.

I've been really enjoying the Sony WH-1000XM6 and it's easily one of the best headphones I've used past month. The sound quality is clear, detailed, and well balanced, with strong bass and clean highs. The noise canceling is excellent and works great whether I'm commuting, working, or just trying to relax. They're very comfortable to wear, even for long periods. The build quality feels premium, the battery lasts a long time, and fast charging is super convenient. Overall, they feel like a high quality, well thought out product. These headphones are also great for gaming on both PC and PS5. The audio feels immersive and clear, making games more enjoyable. They're just as impressive for movies and music. I can hear more instruments and small details in songs I've listened to many times before, which really makes a difference. The only small annoyance is the automatic noise canceling feature when someone nearby starts talking. The headphones sometimes switch modes on their own, which can be a bit distracting if someone is beside me. That said, it's a minor issue and doesn't ruin the experience. Overall, the Sony WH-1000XM6 is an excellent all around headphone with great sound, strong noise canceling, long battery life, and very good comfort. Despite the small issue, I would still highly recommend it.

I love the features and sound of these headphones but there are a few things that I hope they improve with updates. It's pretty amazing all the automation that can be used with the settings remembering locations and actions and saving your settings for when walking away from him or commuting but the reality is for me I won't always want the same settings when walking the dog or travelling it depends more on if I'm with someone I want to talk to or not or if I want to just chill. The feature available are great not just sound cancelling and transparency which work very well but also the modes like background music where it sounds like it's at a distance which is great for having it at a low non distracting volume when you are with others or reading/working for example rather than when you want the full immersive experience when you are focussed on just the music. This is good when you are with others too with transparency so you can have music in the background and still have conversations etc. My gripe is I want full control of all of this without the app so I can swit by modes easier without my phone you can switch transparency and noice cancelling with buttons on the headphones but not listening modes from standard to background and that's a big shame. Also the auto transparency is pointless really for me as if I want transparency I want it completely I don't want it to keep changing as what's the point if you want to hear something but you don't be use the headphones have temporarily filtered something out? Seems a bit daft. So while all the automation and scen features are impressive you quickly just turn it all off so you can get them to do what you want then to do when you want them to do it and the. You end up having to use the app too much rather than the buttons or touch pad on the headphones. Not a massive deal but something I hope they improve with updates. Great headphones and the call quality in noisy environments is quite incredible and is the main reason I bought these. Very very good unless you are right next to very very loud speakers or something the. It starts to go a bit nuts and people will hear feedback and squeezing but that's not an everyday thing you really just need to be able to do a call in a cafe or pub or something and that works well you may struggle in a very loud gig but why would you? Great to have for travelling work when you need to do calls at airports train stations or in a coffee shop. Brilliant. I hope they allow mode switching without the app soon for standard and background.

Great product, very happy and noise cancelling is excellent. Surprised with how intuitive the touch controls are (I was worried this wouldn't be great but pleasantly surprised!).

Bought these to replace my old MX4's as they had seen better days. Worth the upgrade now that the folding option is back. The AnC feels better than ever and they are very comfortable. Long battery life and quick to charge

There's a reason the WH1000XM6 models are considered the leading standard. Their ANC and seal around the ear is fantastic, and the battery life is perfect. Connectivity is fast and easy, and the Bluetooth connection is extremely low-latency for sound/video syncing.

Everything's fine overall, but the noise cancellation is a bit disappointing. For the price, I don't think it's really worth it just for that. Other than that, it's okay.

I started getting a mechanical rattling sound on one side of the headphones after only a week, even with them turned off, as if there was something loose inside. So I had to return them

First time getting a headset. And I didn't regret spending my money. It's really worth it. I could totally hear nothing on what's happening on the outside. I really love it

When playing "Ingress" with the WH-1000XM6 headphones, sensor and spatial sound technologies deliver a new experience: using head tracking, the sound is conveyed from different directions to line up perfectly with the action on the screen.
Head tracking function
Head tracking ensures a realistic and compelling listening experience by automatically adjusting sound fields to compensate for your head movement. Sounds are precisely aligned with your headphones, even as you move, to completely involve you in your listening, when paired with compatible devices and services.
With head-tracking capability
With conventional headphones, when your head moves, the sound moves with the headphones. This disconnects the sound from its position in space, impairing the 3D effect and presence.

Experience the immersive power of head tracking for yourself with this simulation. Pop on some headphones and watch the video to learn more and hear how head tracking makes your listening more realistic.
