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 Β£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 Β£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 Β£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... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sony returns to claim the throne *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 17 June 2025* 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sony 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 - Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise Cancelling Wireless Over-Ear Headphones, Bluetooth, Clear Call Quality, Hi-Res, Up to 30hr Battery Life, Quick Charge, Alexa & Google Assistant, iOS & Android - Black - ProCase Hard Case for Sony WH-CH720N/ WH-CH710N/ WH-CH520/WH-CH510/ WH-1000XM5/ WH-1000XM4/ WHXB910N/ Bose 700 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones, Travel Carrying Bag with 2 Dust Covers -Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/726958929-wh-1000xm6-flagship-wireless-noise-cancelling-headphones](https://www.desertcart.us/products/726958929-wh-1000xm6-flagship-wireless-noise-cancelling-headphones) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-26*
