SONY 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 – Silver

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.

As a bit of background, I've owned the WH XM4s, XM5s and the Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra. I also currently have a pair of Sennheiser open-back 505s, the Sony WF XM5s. Suffice to say, I am a bit of a headphones nerd. I raise this because I think its worth prefacing that this review is of the WH XM6s, within the niche they occupy in my 'roster'. That is the commuting/loud office/neighbours are blasting loud music/building works are going on nearby etc category. Essentially, any context where I'm not guaranteed a reasonable level of quiet in my surroundings, these come into play. In that category, they are simply the best I've ever used. The noise cancelling is fantastic. Outside sounds are reduced dramatically. Some have described it as similar to being underwater, which I understand, but I think makes it sound negative. It simply strips almost all sound around you to a level where it is, at worst, effortless to ignore. It can struggle a bit with sudden high frequencies (e.g. microwave beeps) and high winds can be noticeable but they're still much reduced. Sound quality is absolutely fantastic as well (again, within this specific category - I do prefer my open-backs overall but they're simply not useable in any kind of noisy environment). The bass is powerful, without being overpowering (which isn't a guarantee in modern headphones), mids are clear and instrument separation is excellent. The design is also improved on the previous model. They're light and comfortable on the ears, enough that I can wear them for long periods of time. The hinge is back, which is an effortless win and allows easy folding, and the earcups themselves now fold in the 'correct' direction, meaning you can hang them round your neck with the earcups against your chest. The controls have been improved as well, with a clearer distinction between the power button and the ANC/Ambient sound control. The touch controls on the right ear cup remain the same, and can occasionally be a bit finicky, but I generally find them very easy to use. I don't have very many criticisms at all really. I suppose, as with all headphones of this type, they can start to get a bit sweaty after a time and can create a slightly odd feeling of pressure around your ears. This is expected from this style of headphones, but might be unpleasant for some. The other downside that can't be escaped, is the price. They certainly are not cheap, and for many this will be a dealbreaker. I understand that perspective, but they are still within the price range for this tier of premium, ANC headphones, and I have to say, relative to the competition they absolutely nail it. I do not regret my purchase at all, and these will likely be my go-to headphones for quite some time.

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.

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.

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.
