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

Amazing headphones , I have just received these , I have a pair of 720n as well They are good but these are definitely a big step up ! I had a pair of apple max pro , although a great set of headphones , I found them , large to transport about when travelling , and they do attract attention ! Not necessarily the right attention . These Sony are less obvious , being plastic but I would say the sound quality equally as good and the noise cancellation is the best there is ! To test I put Alexa on playing music right next to my chair put the Sonys on with full noise cancellation on ! Could not hear the Alexa ! I have also used these with 3-5 jack cable connected to iPad using 3-5 jack to usbc adapter , if you do this still switch on the power button or the sound will be inferior , ! Some say they are uncomfortable to wear for long periods so I invested in some third party extra thick soft ear pads ! But I have not fitted them yet as I find the originals are ok ! What I like about Sony is the app you download load to allow you to set them up to your personal preferences ! They sound ok out of the box , but set them up on the app ! They are amazing ! They are foldable and come in a nice case with magnetic latch ! Case is small , so more practical so fits nicely in a bag / rucksack ! Battery life is around 35/ hours , 10 min charge gives you 3 hour listening time !!Overall I am very pleased with them !

These headphones are a game changer! The ANC is incredible. My commute on the bus is now 95% silent other than what I'm listening to with the excellent noise cancelling. My colleague who sits next to me who talks nonstop with a loud voice - can't hear him at all. They also cancel out the TV when it's turned on and making a call, neither person can hear it's on. Performance wise, they are fast turning on, and the app auto plays music, which saves having to open up your phone. I'm not having to wait around for anything and no issue connecting to my phone. The Sony app means you can configure them in almost any situation, which is something the Bose headphones can't compete with. Battery life is really good, no issues with it, other then it drains the battery life of my phone fast. I'll update this is this changes. Comfort, people say the clam is too strong but I don't find that at all and find them really comfortable. It helps that I don't wear them continuously all day, as reviews say Bose is good for that. I haven't had then for that long, so I'll update it again in a few months time to see how they have maintained themselves. Things that make it more like a 4.5 stars would be there are still some low pitched sounds I can hear like the screach of a bus door and someone coughing, which I can live with. Also, the headphones could do with being more obvious which is left and right, maybe some texture difference, so I can see it in a rush in the mornings, poor lighting or for someone visually impaired. Overall, I would give these a solid recommendation to anyone who has a hard time with noise or wants to just hear their music and nothing else. What an amazing time to be alive with such cutting edge tech at an affordable price.

Hang on a sec. Had my XM6's for a few hours now. Been tuning them with DSEE, EQ, LDAC. It passes the Bjork test - Venus As A Boy - mellifluous and soulful. Unison - powerful and emotional. Unravel - just perfect in presentation. Then comes Akwaaba by Winnie - Damn fine soundstage - Vocals perfect - mid-tempo beat slowly rocking. And then On The Nature of Daylight by Max Richter on the Arrival Soundtrack. Starts slowly and builds. Cellos killing it and tearing at your heart. Then at about 1:40 the violins kick in with that rumbling bass line. The 3rd bass note in that sequence drops - And this is when I stood up and started clapping. Then I started crying. The violins and the bass. It was like I had never heard this song before. It was like the first time - only this time perfect. I've been listening to this track but today with my XM6's was the first time I had heard it. I could hear and feel everything for the first time. (by the way when I was clapping I could not hear the claps at all due to the king of ANC doing it's thing. I have the Sony Ult Wears ((X3) and the Sony WH-1000XM6s are better. I have the Soundcore Liberty 4 NC's (x4) and the Sony WH-1000XM6s are better. I have the Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro's (x3) and the Sony WH-1000XM6s are better. I have the Soundcore Space One and the Sony WH-1000XM6s are better. I have the Soundcore Space One Pro and the Sony WH-1000XM6s are better. I had the Beats Studio Pros and the Sony WH-1000XM6s are better are a million times better. I have the Beats Studio 3 (X2) and the Sony WH-1000XM6s are better. I have the Beats Studio 2 (X5) and the Sony WH-1000XM6s are better. Up until today my 9 year old Beats were the best headphones I had ever owned but the XM6's now take the crown. My other test tunes come out as they should on the XM6s. The list is getting longer so bear with me. Resolution on the Godzilla Minus One Soundtrack builds in volume and complexity and reaches a majestic crescendo towards which the XM6's deliver with exceptional clarity. People by LiBianca - I'm hearing some percussion for the first time to go along with the perfect melody and haunting vocals. It's Happening Again by Agnes Obel mellifluous and haunting and delivered perfectly - piano notes thumping my brain - vocals coming from everywhere (stereo separation). My Heart WIll Go On by Celine Dion in CD quality and LDAC - when she sings 'You're Here' at the 3:25 mark your headphones or sound systems needs to be able to reproduce that so that it cleans the earwax out of you ears - and the XM6's do just that and are almost painful if I play it too loud - no distortion - just Celine at her vocalist best. Maria Callas, Maria Callas; O Mio Babbino Cara; Madame Butterfly - the only way to listen to her legendary voice with all of the emotion, nuances dips and highs that gets to your soul. Quanta Qualia by Hayley Westenra - main vocals in the middle - violins everywhere - choir haunting in the background. These Days by Tems - Bass drum thumping and controlled - vocals in the middle - percussion like a heartbeat in the background. People Look Forward and Give You by Felt - thumping EDM - bass rocking - drums snearing - vocals telling a story as they should be. Stoic Theme by the Ink Spots on the Shawshank soundtrack. Cello, violins and not much else perfectly balanced and represented. So Was Red and End Title on the Shawshank soundtrack takes you back to the end of that great movie - close your eyes and you can hear it and see it in your minds eye. And everything on the Interstellar Soundtrack by Hans Zimmer - the only way I can hear that any better is on my BO sound System in my Audi A5 or live played by 60 piece orchestra. You can tell from my test tunes that I listen to quite a range from EDM, Hip Hop, Afro Beats to Classical and Opera and the XM6's delivers them all perfectly as I would like to hear them. The ANC seems to be doing what it should be doing with no background hiss. Can't hear my laptops in my office at with them on. And clapping right in front of my face I cannot hear. The headphones are comfortable. I have seen some other review on YouTube where certain reviews have complained about the clamping force and top headband being uncomfortable - but not for me. Had them on for a few hours now and no discomfort at all. I'll see how sweaty they get in the summertime. Also I have read and seen that the ANC sensor in each headphone protrudes out and causes discomfort - not in my case. Can't feel them at all. I paid £299 for these in the Black Friday sale. And this is the most I have ever paid for a pair of headphones. Are they worth it - yes. I buy multiple pairs of my favourite headphones so that I can get decades worth out of them (Beats Studio 2 for example) so I'll be buying another 2 sets one in 2026 and another in 2027 so I can get at least 10 years out of them - in the sales of course - won't be paying more than £299 for my other sets. I took a call during my testing and it sounded natural. The caller could not tell I was using a pair of headphones either. I reckon it will take a few days to loosen up the drivers to make them sound richer and better so I'll edit this review when I get to that point. And when I get the next 2 sets I'll update again them. And I still have to play with a lot of the settings like spatial audio listening modes, These headphones deliver the emotion of my music like no other headphones do. And as headphones should do. Don't let the audiophiles grind you down. EQ, High Res and ANC those settings to get them to where they need to be for you. Damn it, Sony. You've only gone and done it. I've been waiting 9 years for a better set of headphones than my trusty Beats Studios 2 and you've only gone and done it - Bravo. Edit 18/03/26. Bought the silver version for £276.30 and got them today. One thing I noticed is that after wearing them for a few hours was that the ear cups were stained by ny sweat and no amount of cleaning got them back to their brand new condition. So I went and bought some replacement earpads from Wicked Cushions. These earpads are brilliant and much better than the stock Sony ones. They don't effect the sound quality, are slightly thicker and even more comfortable than the originals. And they come up clean after wiping away at my sweat. I bought another set of earpad replacements for my first pair and it makes a difference there too. So running in the silver pair so that they sound less tight like my black pair and all going good. I use a slightly different EQ than what I have on my black pair just to mix things up a bit. So if you have problems with the ear comfort of the originals I recommend getting a set of replacement earpads from Wicked. They were ridiculously easy to fit as well - all done in about 5 minutes - 4 of which was watching the instruction video. I'm still planning on buying the blue version as well next year in2027 - or maybe I'll get the pink ones instead...

Best Noice Cancellation out there!

Perfect isolation

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

Una de las razones por las que comprar los XM6 ha sido que han vuelto a ser plegables, vengo de unos XM4 y no hice la transición a los XM5 por este motivo. Este nuevo modelo se siente mas confortable, especialmente en la parte superior que apoya la cabeza, también me da la sensación de ser mas envolvente, no pensaba que pudiera ser así puesto que los XM4 ya eran super cómodos, tengo la sensación de que al apoyarse mas en las orejas respecto al XM4 hace menos daño en la parte superior de la cabeza, algo que se agradece cuando llevas varias horas con ellos. La bisagra que pliega los cascos tiene una robustez mayor, ahora es de metal al contrario que su modelo anterior. Respecto a los XM4 la cancelación de ruido a mejorado, quizás sea por el nuevo procesador (QN3) pero escucho menos ruidos del exterior, Pero donde mas he notado la diferencia es en la calidad del audio en las llamadas, el micrófono se escucha mucho mejor gracias al aumento de micrófonos. Por otro lado la calidad de Sonido me parece que tiene un sonido mas nítido y detallado, especialmente en frecuencias altas, los bajos me parecen que están mas controlados y con mayor definición que los XM4, siempre mejorando lo excelente. Por ultimo, otra cosa que me ha encantado es que ahora si se pueden cargar los auriculares mientras se usan, cosa que antes no se podia, ya no tienes que interrumpir tus sesiones de musica mientras trabajas y los cargas. Puntos a favor: Diseño Plegable con Bisagra Metálica: Recuperan la portabilidad del XM4 y añaden una durabilidad superior a la del XM5. Cancelación de Ruido Superior: Más eficaz y adaptable que en los XM4, y ligeramente mejorada respecto a los XM5. Calidad de Llamadas Excepcional: Un avance muy significativo, especialmente frente a los XM4. Tu voz se escucha clara en cualquier entorno. Sonido Refinado: Más detalle y equilibrio, manteniendo la pegada de los bajos. Mayor Comodidad: Mejor ajuste para un uso prolongado. Carga y Escucha Simultánea: Una mejora de conveniencia importante. Puntos en contra: Mejoras Sutiles desde los XM5 (salvo diseño y llamadas): Si ya tienes los XM5, el salto no es tan dramático como de los XM4 a los XM6 en la mayoría de los aspectos.

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.
