Sony WH-1000XM6 Noise Cancelling Headphones

Great headphones, really enjoy the sound quality and the noise cancelling. Side of the headphones I also enjoy the. Controls of the headphones on the side of the headphones really good.

Quality as always with Sony headphones. I own the XM5 over ear, XM6 in ear. These headphones have a quality build, feel light but sturdy have excellent comfort. I can wear for hours at a time without any problems. The sound is excellent especially through the sound connect app. Multiple configurations for equaliser to your liking, outstanding noise cancelling. Love them would highly recommend them.

Absolutely incredible headphones would be an understatement

I rocked my WH-1000XM3s for six solid years and thought ANC headphones couldn't get much better. I was wrong. I am completely astonished by how much of a leap the WH-1000XM6s are.

Sony finally brought back the folding hinges, making them beautifully compact for travel again. The noise cancellation is next-level, completely erasing high-pitched background chatter that my XM3s couldn't quite block. The sound is noticeably richer with deeper, cleaner bass, and the seamless multipoint Bluetooth switching is a massive quality-of-life upgrade. They also feel lighter and more comfortable during long sessions.

If you've been holding onto an older pair wondering if the upgrade is worth it-it absolutely is. 5/5 stars.

Bought these headphones ahead of a 24 hours flight from UK to Australia. There were a lot of screaming kids and babies on this flight and the noise cancelling of these worked flawlessly.

I wore them throughout the entire flight and when I landed in Sydney, they still had 70% battery left!

Sound quality is awesome, honestly what's not to like, love these...

I’ve been using the Sony WH-1000XM6 for a couple of days now, and honestly… they’ve completely changed how I listen to music—and even how I manage my migraines day to day.

The first thing that really stood out to me was the noise cancelling. The moment I put them on, the world just fades away. Trains, traffic, people talking—it all disappears into silence. It’s not just blocking sound, it actually adapts to your surroundings in real time, so you feel like you’ve stepped into a calm, controlled space.

And for me, that’s been life-changing.

I get migraines that are often triggered by noise and overstimulation. A few weeks ago, I could feel one starting while I was out—everything got too loud, too sharp, and I knew it was about to hit. Normally, I’d have to leave whatever I was doing and find somewhere quiet (which isn’t always easy). But that time, I just put these on, turned on the noise cancelling, and sat still for a bit. Within minutes, the harshness of the environment was gone. It didn’t magically cure the migraine, of course—but it took the edge off enough that I could actually cope and avoid it getting worse. Since then, I carry them everywhere. They’ve become more of a tool than just headphones.

Sound-wise, they’re incredible too. Everything feels rich and immersive without being overwhelming. You start noticing details in songs you’ve never heard before—little background sounds, layers, and textures that bring music to life. It’s warm, clear, and just really enjoyable whether you’re focusing or just relaxing.

They’re also ridiculously comfortable. I’ve worn them for hours at a time—working, walking, travelling—and I barely notice they’re there. The headband doesn’t dig in, the ear cups feel soft, and they’re light enough for all-day use.

Battery life has been solid as well. I don’t think about charging them much because they just last—and when I do forget, a quick charge gives me hours of use, which has saved me more than once.

I also love the little details, like the fact they fold again, making them easy to carry around, and how seamlessly they switch between my devices. Everything feels polished and easy to use.

If I’m being honest, they are expensive—but at this point, I don’t really see them as just headphones anymore.

Final thought: these have become part of my routine. They help me enjoy music, focus better, and most importantly, manage my migraine triggers when I need it most—and that alone makes them absolutely worth it for me.
