What Buyers Say

Sony WH-1000XM6

72 out of 100 high confidence 433 reviews

The Sony WH-1000XM6 earns praise for its exceptional noise cancellation, clear sound quality, and comfortable fit for many users, with several calling it the best headphones they've owned. However, a significant number of reviews highlight serious drawbacks: uncomfortable clamping force and shallow earcups causing pain, buggy multipoint Bluetooth connectivity, a fingerprint-prone finish, and disappointing customer service regarding warranty repairs and promised free gifts. While the ANC and audio are top-tier, comfort and reliability issues prevent it from being a universal recommendation.

Pros
  • Exceptional noise cancellation
  • Clear and detailed sound quality
  • Comfortable for many users
  • Long battery life
  • Foldable design
Cons
  • Uncomfortable clamping force
  • Shallow earcups causing pain
  • Buggy multipoint Bluetooth

  • Poor customer service
