WH-1000XM6 Flagship Noise Cancelling Over-Ear Wireless Bluetooth Headphones, Signature Hi-Res Sound, Ultimate Comfort, Foldable Design, Durable Case, 30 HR Battery, iOS & Android - Black

I don't generally do reviews on Amazon, but I have to say that getting these Sony headphones in Blue for a discount, also used up some gift vouchers, have been fantastic. I have had other noise cancelling headphones before which have been good, but these are a different league, they are superb at blocking out background noise on my bus commute, sat in the office the hum of the heating system is taken away, but yet if you let the ambient noise in, they are also excellent. I accept they are expensive if bought at full price, but any kind of discount and these are an excellent deal. They are very comfy to wear for hours on end, battery life seems very good, but too early to tell fully. Box and the way they fold is very good, overall I really like these and look forward to wearing them and use them for a mix of music, videos and teams calls. All sound great with plenty of EQ options to tailor to your liking. Overall I like the Sony sound, but I guess if you are a real Bass junkie they might not go deep enough for you, but as an overall round sund it's all clear and sounds good to my ears. A really good and top notch set of headphones.

Very comfortable with excellent noise cancellation and sound quality. Great battery life and they look great. Great connectivity via Bluetooth. Excellent product with easy to use practical functions.

I've been waiting to purchase these since release but waited for a better price which finally happened! I've upgraded from XM3's so quite a jump in generations. Whilst I can't comment on the difference between XM4's and XM5's, I can say that the upgrade for me is huge. Sound quality is very impressive, I'm hearing new things in songs that ive been listening to for 30 years+. The clarity superb and the various preset EQ's give a setting for every type of music. Obviously you also have manual EQ if you prefer to set your own. Noise cancelling is exactly as you would expect from Sony and is superb. It's not leagues above the old XM3 but what has improved way beyond my expectations, is pass-through. It's honestly like you're not wearing them when you activate it. They might not be as comfy to wear as my old XM3's - the headband isn't as soft and they do clamp a little tighter. Don't get me wrong, they are still comfortable and I have worn for a few hours at a time with no issues. The newly designed case is excellent and the folding feature makes the overall package much smaller and easier to carry. Yes they are expensive, but they are amazing headphones and in my opinion worth the £330 I paid.

Recently purchased these after owning a pair of xm4s Watched a lot of YouTube reviews on these and they got great reviews so wanted to buy a pair and see for myself. First impressions was the magnetic case which is quite cool. No more zips. After trying the headphones on I could tell that the headband was not as soft as the xm4 headphones. Much less padding making it not as comfortable for someone with not much hair. Also the clamping force as others have said is more on this headphone. I wouldn't say its "uncomfortable" as such, but just not as comfortable as the xm4. After 10 minutes of use you can really feel that you are wearing these headphones vs the lightweightness of the xm4s. I also think the angle of the cups are such that they are in contact with each other all the time. Unsure if this will soften up over time. Can see from picture the differences. Regarding the sound I compared both side by side listening to a range of songs on Spotify with the highest audio setting. I would say the sound is slightly better on the xm6 in that its more clear and things seem more pronounced. Also helps within the sony app that there is now 10 bar eq vs 5 with the xm4 so can be tuned better to the required sound that you like. I also like the different sound stages with cinema mode and background music, think thats quite a good little extra. Noise cancellation is slightly improved over xm4 however wouldn't say its drastically improved. Did a few tests with background sounds on (eg having fan on and other sounds too) and the xm6 completely removed the sound whereas xm4 could faintly hear the noises but not massively different in my opinion. The transparency/ambient mode to me was a lot better. No more muffled sound like with the xm4s. Could easily and clearly hear the sound around you. Not tested making a call with these on as didnt buy them for this purpose so can't really comment on this. I think the xm6s look more modern and sleek vs the older xm4s. There is also a more protruding mic in the headphones of the xm6s. I didnt notice it myself when I tried them on however you can see it if you look closely in the headphones. Pros ✅️Great sounding quality ✅️Anc and ambient mode are great ✅️Look stylish and modern ✅️They fold Cons ❌️Price ❌️Clamping force ❌️Not as comfortable as older xm4 Overall I only had the headphones for one day and returned unfortunately and will be using the xm4s which is a shame as I was looking forward to these and wanted to like them more. To me if im upgrading an item it needs to have all the benefits of the last model and the extra benefits and features of the latest model. For me it wasn't there. The headband alone made it too uncomfortable to use for longer than 30 minutes at a time. I'd also say ignoring the price if they were both the same price id still pick the xm4s as would rather have more comfort and for it to have less clamping force vs the extra benefits of the xm6s. Hope this helps anyway. Just being honest and happy to share my thoughts.

Very good, and no doubt the top noise cancelling around, but incredibly uncomfortable for anyone without tiny ears. It was so bad I had to send them back. This is because the headphone depth isn't that much, combined with the drivers angled to stick out into the earphone cup, which I don't understand and makes then way, way more uncomfortable than other headphones and seems worse than the pain felt wearing the XM3, XM4 or XM5. Had to go with Bose QC Ultra instead in the end instead. Another issue is they honestly just look crap and super cheap. Compared to the objectively cool look of the Bowers and Wilkins Px7 s3 headphones for example, it's embarrassingly bad. Lastly, the sound is truly terrible out of the box. It's muddy and disappointing. I genuinely can't understand what they were thinking. However, fortunately, this can be adjusted and then the sound is actually great. So an initial pain but fixable.

1. Cancellazione attiva del rumore (ANC) eccellente Il nuovo processore QN3 più potente e i 12 microfoni (rispetto agli 8 del modello precedente) offrono un’ANC adattiva veramente top di categoria, che si regola in tempo reale in base all’ambiente (treno, ufficio, aeroporto), garantendo un silenzio impressionante . 2. Qualità audio “studio-quality” La collaborazione con ingegneri del suono come Randy Merrill ha portato a un profilo sonoro dettagliato, bilanciato e potente: bassi profondi, medi naturali e alti nitidi. Ottime anche le tecnologie LDAC, DSEE Extreme e 360 Reality Audio per un’esperienza immersiva e ricca di sfumature . 3. Comodità e design migliorati Il nuovo archetto più ampio, i padiglioni più morbidi e la struttura pieghevole garantiscono comfort anche dopo ore di utilizzo e una trasportabilità più agevole . 4. Funzioni smart e pratiche Include l’ascolto mentre si ricarica, connessione multipoint, Auto Ambient Sound, scene-based listening, e un equalizzatore a 10 bande con funzione “Find Your Equalizer” per personalizzare il suono . 5.

Jag har haft flera med samma funktionallitet av olika märken tidigare och den här var ännu bättre. Jag använder den främst när jag flyger (som passagerare).

I tried: Sony vs Bose vs JBL Sony XM5 and XM6 Bose - Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth and Standard QuiteComfort JBL - JBL Tour One M3 but BY NOISE CANCELLING... MAMA MIA... Sony XM6 are GODMODE... Bose and JBL = NOT EVEN CLOSE... Sony XM6 is like 10 out of 10 for noise Cancelling... Bose would be like 7.5 to 8, JBL would be 6 ... Noise cancelling on these is ULTRA good... much much better than XM5 and anything I ever tried... EXAMPLE: A visitor to my office was 'looking for me' and I had them on... he came up to me and was calling my name... I did NOT hear him at ALL... people had to message me on Slack to tell me that there 'was a visitor behind me' calling my name... I did NOT hear him at ALL... even though he was standing right behind me... if you have Music playing and these ON... YOU WILL HEAR NOTHING except for Music... XM6 = GOD MODE NOISE CANCELLING = Confirmed! ps: By sound, I prefered JBL... I tweeked Sony Equalizer and got very close to JBL... also it depends on what 'song' is playing... sometimes Sony had better sound, sometimes JBL... also on Sony, 'out of the box' 'clamping force' was a LOT stronger than JBL and Bose... but overtime they 'losenned up' and all is good... took me around 2 days for them to 'losen' up...

Incredible product, the noise cancelling is amazing, the app gives you some great features, battery lasts a long time. I’ve used it in the airplane and it’s a game changer when it comes to cancelling all the noise around

J’ai récemment acheté le Sony WH-1000XM6, et je dois dire que je suis bluffé. Ce casque frôle la perfection à bien des égards. 🔇 Réduction de bruit active exceptionnelle C’est clairement l’un de ses plus gros points forts. Dès qu’on l’enfile, le monde extérieur disparaît, même sans musique. Que ce soit dans les transports, au bureau ou à la maison, il isole parfaitement. 🎧 Confort et légèreté Le casque est très léger et agréable à porter, même pendant plusieurs heures. On oublie presque qu’on le porte. La qualité des matériaux est au rendez-vous, et tout semble bien pensé jusque dans les moindres détails. 📱 Application intuitive L'application Sound Connect est claire, facile à prendre en main, et permet de personnaliser pas mal de choses (égaliseur, réduction de bruit adaptative, etc.). L'interface est fluide. 📞 Petit bémol : retour audio pendant les appels Le seul point négatif pour moi : il n’y a pas de retour audio de sa propre voix pendant un appel, ce qui peut être déstabilisant, surtout en mode réduction de bruit. On se retrouve à parler sans vraiment s'entendre, à moins de désactiver la réduction de bruit, ce que je trouve dommage. Peut-être qu’un réglage ou une future mise à jour corrigera cela, je l’espère. ♻️ Emballage et accessoires Mention spéciale pour la pochette de rangement : robuste, pratique et élégante. Et bonus : l’emballage est fabriqué en plastique recyclé, ce qui est un excellent point pour l’environnement. ✅ En résumé : Un casque haut de gamme qui tient ses promesses, avec un son de grande qualité, un confort au top, et une réduction de bruit bluffante. S’il y avait un retour de voix pendant les appels, ce serait un sans-faute.
