  10 out of 5 star - The best headphones

  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.Ver másVer menos

  They are what they claim to be, but at a price that could be avoided.

  How do I feel about these? I gave them a 5 star because they do the job well. The ANC is pretty absolute. While I haven't traveled with them yet, so far it blocks out all ambient noise. On a phone call the other day I asked how the reception was. Crystal clear was the response.I have a hesitancy to give 5 star only because of the price. Are they worth it? Maybe if you didn't know other things existed. Prior and still I use Soundcore Q35 which are also ANC and good ones. You can compare the specs from each website and clearly Sonys have more microphones etc. On paper Sony WH 1000 xm6 are superior. I paid $139.00 for the Q35s and they also fold into a smaller size and come with a hard case. Even an airplane adapter and 3.5 line. My only issue is, even with a huge head they didn't fit all that well. Sony's are a bit snugger. That said after long term use my ears sweat. Maybe my imagination as I am in the middle of hell in the summer.The most important thing to me is sound. For this pricepoint I should be blown away. AM I? I'm not so sure. There's a Sony appp that fine tunes the sound and it's nice. It sounds great, but is it better than the Q35s? I don't know. There are guys out there that have already done all the tests between Sony and competitors and they make a better case than me. I'm not an audiophile that needs perfection rather I'm an old guy that wants the best I can afford thats reasonable.I'm pretty sure the Sonys are better than the Q35s but so far not for the price difference.I need to become more immersed in this give a better review. That said, I also have a pair of Oneplus buds 2 pro that sound amazing. These also have spacial and a tuning app. And ANC.At the moment I'd say since I'm retired and don't have endless streams of money and have simpler needs, the equipment I was using is just fine and at a good price. If I was one of those guys that laid awake at night crunching decibel numbers I'd say spend the money, well worth it.So far they're easy to use, easy to set up. Not keen on the swipe controls instead of buttons but it works, i just need to adjust. A little learning curve for old guys like me. I usually watch videos while researching pre-purchase and so setup was a breeze. Battery life seems spot on 30 hours, just like Q35s.There are clearly things I missed or am not using that may enhance the experience, time and experimenting will help me with this review later.So these are 5 star cans, for sure and should be judged on their own merits and not off the price point. Still though if good enough is ok for you, comparing these to others may be like camparing cars. Upgrades cost more but don't get you there are faster.Ver másVer menos

  The best headphones ever

  These are the best headphones ever. Thue are pricy but so worth it. They are very high-quality. The volume cancellation is fantastic. I got these because the noise level of my house is so high that it raises my anxiety and stress levels. Between eight different fish tanks that are running, as well as fridge and freezer. And two young children who are constantly yelling and screaming just because they’re having fun or want something. It becomes very overwhelming for me to be in that level of noise all day long as a stay at home parent. So I got this to help with the noise level. Even if I’m not listening to anything on my phone or my computer, it still cuts out down the sound a whole lot. It’s instantly calming just to not be in the constant noise. It connects well to my phone and my Mac laptop so I can listen to other things as well. It also has a wide range of connectivity. I’m able to leave my phone in the upstairs bedroom and go all the way to the basement to switch laundry without the headphones disconnecting. The color is nice. I was afraid with the light color that they would get dirty quickly but so far they’ve actually been looking really nice. Although I never let my kids touch them so that’s part of it. They just to fit my ears perfectly. They swivel so they can lay flat on a surface too. They have touch ability on the sides of the headphones, even where you don’t see buttons. Very easy to adjust volume levels. Overall, just a really great set of headphones. The battery lasts so long. You’ll need thing is that the charging cord is super short. But you can easily get a different cord for it to charge. It’s a pretty common cord now for different devices. You may already have a suitable cord in your house. I just recommend getting this. If you’re on the fence, it is totally worth it. I can still hear some level of conversation with my kids and with my husband. But it’ll cuts out all of the fish tank noise and fridge noise. And it cuts down the kid noise level by a lot. I don’t even feel like I’m listening to white noise that’s trying to cover the sounds but rather It seems to cut the noise out completely.Ver másVer menos

  Didn't win me over with the sound

  If you are considering moving from skullcandy, the difference in sound quality is negligible to me personally.Everything sounds great after messing with the equalizer/presets, but not these nor Sennheiser get close to the BOOM you get with skullcandy. Additionally both of those sound better straight out of the box.My heavy caveat is that the actual experience using them is so much better. They are integrated with YouTube and Spotify so well with the gestures that it immediately won me over. They're so much lighter, and the stock ear pads are comfortable enough that I've been wearing them for 6+ hours straight and it feels fine. People say they feel like a vice, but it's comfortably snug (as someone with a big head). I've danced around in these with no worry; as for my crushers, they've gone flying off just bobbing around to music.Sound only goes so far these days, but the experience of these is worth the price. Of course if you're moving from a casual tier headphone like Skullcandy, the noise cancellation is actually a little bit scary. As a pedestrian, no fault to sony, it might be too effective for my own good.ad. there is a default setting on these that will read the time out every hour and you will have to look up how to disable.Ver másVer menos

  Yeah, they're EVERYTHING theyre cracked up to be.

  TLDR: Yeah... theyre the actual, very best wireless ANC phones. Sound is really high rez, and bright, Some say too bassy, but thats audio-snob jive. Fairly comfy, but you might want aftermarket pads if youre tender. ...and noone'd blame you if you wanna wait for em to go on sale. $$$. I did.SOUND:The drivers Sony put in this newest model are... elegant, silky.. They prettymuch do it all. You can hear literal words and background sylables and instruments you cant with sub-hundred-buck units. Those reverbs go on for ages, fading into the inky blackness very well because of the currently-best ANC. The highs are glassy, clear and crispy while bass is simultaneously rubbery and tight. Soundstage is very solid: Instruments are layered in and seperate sounding like sandwich toppings and not mixed and munddied together like an overstirred soup.TUNING:Dont let purists and audio-snobs online put you off with graphs and spreadsheets, specs or immaterial statements of their pholosophy. They have a real crowdpleaser sound. Yes, they have a V shape on sound graphs, however this IS NOT offensive to the ear at all. Theres a perfectly valid reason some manufacturers do that on purpose. The extra bass and treble are enough to appeal to younger folks, but tasteful and balanced enough for older or more traditional genre enthusiasts. Its got range. Not compromised range. I mean it does GREAT in a wide variety of applications. Talkshows, movies... country, metal, you cant miss. Nothing comes off wonky, screechy, or is missing.A side note: i theorize this extra mid bass is tuned that way to assist the ANC do its job better. I had some cheap ANC Soundcore brand phones that had that extra mid bass. They had unusually powerful ANC for the price.ANC:literally the worlds best as of release. Its like body armor for your ears. Youll only dead black silence, tinnitus, alien telapathy and crazy whispering voices spewing lies about Airpods Max being better. (seriously, you gotta get those looked at). But yeahsony paid good money to validify that statement for marketing. Specifically there is no "cabin pressure" sensation some units hiss at you with. True, low profile deadness. I live on a state highway and this cuts everything down to the faintest 'whoosh' but the occasional ricer fart-can exhaust or an ambulance... and even those are FAR more ignorable. I dont fly planes, but im confident this will squash most if not all of that endless rumble. Also there is no wierd, tacky sound effects when you switch it on and off, like some chinese-ium models tend to do.PASSTHRU/AMBIENT MODE:i can from personal experience report this, when it wants to be, is superior to most human hearing. Its extremely sensitive, borderline naturalistic sounding and uncompromizing. The phones can play at 25% volume or so while i keep an ear out for my crazy uncle as he curses at the TV in the den, from my bedroom. Perfectly servicable to hear a cashier or make brief small talk with some rando. I will say, the voice trigger on the auto-ambient mode is sensetive almost AGRESSIVE even. You so much as casually clear your nose or throat and like clockwork or make a faint comment to yourself and its ten seconds of passthrough mode for you. Regardless what the phone is doing at that time. Just be advised.FIT/COMFORT:Juuust slightly on the firm side. Not uncomfortable really, no. Youtubers sometimes say this will fade, so we shall see. Be advised these have a really protruding ANC device in each ear cup. (PHOTO). Some people with high profile ear anatomy may consider some aftermarket ear pads to compensate. Anyway i have accidentally slept in them and can attest prettymuch no discomfort. Some have mentioned the headband as being a bit subpar, but so far so good. The units are lightweight anyhow and therefore dont bear down on the head.APP:Its relatatively enormous. Like one of those goofy multitools wuth a hundred gizmos that wont fit in your pocket. By far the most all-inclusive audio app i have seen personally. 10 band EQ, Spatial audio calibration, all your usual toggles like Listening Mode. Codec toggling, it even seems to be able to upscale the seeming resolution on low rez mp3s. " strange red button, just says "Release the Hounds". too scared to press.BATTERY:I've not tried draining this units power, but from full it certainly trickles down slowly. The auto-shutoff and power saving functions are VERY agressive and 5 or 10 minutes off my head sees them deactivate. Uncertain wether this can even be disabled as of yet. I venture to bet that 30 hour claim is actually acurate. I would have heard more online reviewers complain...GRIPES:1: Bit bland looks.The looks wont set the world on fire. I dare say slightly boring asthetics... but thats japan for you. Three very traditional colors... So I got the "platinum silver" folks these are a boring matte grey. The design is really minimalist.. but.. I can see it this way: Do you really want a loud colorful advertisement youre balancing $400 loosely on your exposed head in a busy subway or sidewalk? This is quiet luxury. I can cope.2: stain MAGNET. Real talk if this thing collects any more body oil, America is liable to try to invade it. ..but for real though, I have dry skin and even I'm leaving a trail after a week.3: Not Ambidexterous. I cant seem to find any way to swap the touch controls. Its right handed only? You should be able to use your dominant hand while you use a phone or mouse or pen, and the off hand for the touxh controls. It really clashes with your muscle memory.

  Sony’s Best Yet!

  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!
