Just when we thought Sony could not do any better, the WH-1000XM6 arrive to prove there is still room for improvement. These new headphones not only improve what already worked well, but also fine-tune details users have been asking for for a long time.
Noise cancellation: quieter than ever
If there is one thing that defines Sony's 1000X series, it is its excellent noise cancellation. And with the XM6, it reaches another level. From the first moment, the isolation feels more precise and natural, as if everything around you simply shuts off, but without that artificial feeling or pressure you sometimes get with other headphones.
Whether you are on the street, on a plane, or in a crowded place, the XM6 make sure it is just you and your music.
Sound that feels more alive
Audio quality also feels more polished. Sony keeps its warm, detailed profile, but now everything sounds clearer, with more defined bass and smoother treble.
And of course, they still support LDAC and Hi-Res audio, so if you use high-quality streaming services or have lossless files, the result is excellent.
Finally, better calls
One of the weaker points in previous models was call quality. With the XM6, this improves considerably. Voices sound clearer, and the microphone does a very good job filtering background noise, even if you are somewhere with wind or traffic. It is not perfect, but it is definitely no longer a weak point.
Comfortable, lightweight, and with plenty of battery life
In terms of design, there are no major changes compared to the XM5, but that is not a bad thing. They are lightweight, comfortable for long sessions, and still have that understated, elegant style that fits well in any situation.
Battery life, as always, is one of their strengths: up to 30 hours with active noise cancellation and fast charging that gives you several hours of use with just 10 minutes.
