ANC Prioritized Over Sound Quality
If your priority is noise cancelling, you can't do any better than the WH-1000XM6. However, if it's great sound you're looking for, then there are better options. FOr me, I want great sound with decent noise cancelling. Even after adjusting the EQ a number of different ways, the sound still seems veiled. I could never get the crisp sound I've been looking for. At this price, I expected better.

Great sound, bad build quality!
Sound and noise canceling is top tier, build quality though lacks. Recently replacement a pair of these headphones and the new one also makes a creaking sound everytime I place then on their case or just simple put them on my head, seems like plastics parts are loose Only on the right side though. That's too shame for such expensive premium product!! Maybe specific batch was faulty idk

Just OK
Tried these out at 3 locations. Not impressed. 30mm drivers are so 90s. We should have moved into 50-54mm drivers which sound much more alive. If you like a generic sound quality - these are for you. If you want true brightness and great lows there are far better products available for the price.

Good sound, horrible comfort
I'm big fan of Sony products.
After upgrading from my 7-year-old WH-1000XM3, I immediately noticed comfort issues with the new WH-1000XM6. The ear pads feel warmer with less ventilation, and my ears heat up far quicker than they ever did with the XM3. The fit is also too snug — the clamping force is strong enough that I get a headache after about 15 minutes. Maybe it’s because I have larger ears or wear glasses, but this was never an issue with the XM3.
The sound and ANC are phenomenal, but the overall comfort is a big step down for me, especially at this price point. I really wanted to keep the XM6, but after two weeks of regular use, the clamping force still hadn’t eased up. Honestly, I wish could just repair my XM3s. They work fine, just the headband is taped up using duct tape becuase the plastic parts have cracked and sliding adjustments for the earcups no longer stay in place.
One day, I hope Sony releases a model that returns to the comfort of the XM3/XM4s, and with a decent mic that doesn’t make you sound like you’re talking through a walkie-talkie.

Best in class, hands down
After rave reviews, purchased the new Sony 1000XM6 - definitely a high end product in materials and quality. The case is sturdy and very portable, which I appreciate for airplane travel. The app is easy to use and functions and settings are a breeze to set up. Sound is fabulous, various EQ settings allow adjustment to personal and music tastes. Music sounds open, clear, with detailed mids and highs that are never sibilant, bass is powerful and not muddy. The headphones sit very comfortably and clamping forces are just right. ANC is simply jaw dropping! Gesture controls on the right cup are intuitive and easy, but I wish the annoying confirmation ding for volume and track selection could be switched off completely and not end at - 2, that's my only gripe, really

Very satisfied Guy! Xm6 Thumbs up!
This is my first time trying out the headphone side of things with Sony. I’ve tried the xm4 earbuds, that were ok but call quality sucked. I jumped ship and bought Bose quietcomfort earbuds when they released. I loved the Bose earbuds but they had the same issue. Terrible call quality too. I heard a lot about the xm5 headphones, right as I was about to finally purchase the xm5s the Xm6s ended up releasing so I gave them a try. I love these headphones! Great ANC and call quality finally! The sound profile is pretty good but I can’t say it’s the best I’ve heard. I can say it’s very solid and well rounded though. I wish the headphones didn’t smudge so easily tho. I have the black ones. All in all I don’t have any complaints or regrets!

Don't buy these if you plan to use them for work
Sony released an update several months ago that broke the ability to use these headphones in meetings. Any other audio that plays stops any audio/mic usage in a zoom/teams/whatsapp meeting until you reconnect them. It's been months with only no-info HR style responses. Several months without fixing a critical bug, wouldn't buy from Sony again, unfortunately they bricked my headset with this update after my return window.

Almost the best ever!(pinched by spring on hinges)
I'm including a pic so you can see how I fixed the comfort issues I was having because of the spring-loaded hinges on the ear cups. I'm really disappointed that Sony decided to reinvent instead of keep free-floating hinges on the ear cups like every other headphone out there in existence!!
Other than that glaring mishap these are the best sounding headphones out there for music... which makes it truly a shame.... hopefully with the XM7 they can return to free floating hinges and give us just a little more room to breathe in the earcups, perhaps take a lesson from Bose or Bowers bc they do it very very well.

XM6 - Best ANC headphone
Basically perfection there is no way there are better headphones than this. The only real complaint is the clamping that you initially get but it’s natural and goes away within a week. Everything else about the XM6 is worth the price and even beyond.
