Sony's WH-1000XM-series have always been about delivering the finest possible audio quality in a wireless format. But (and this is a big one…) they have never been about delivering audiophile-grade sound. Instead, Sony (that claims to know its users well) has been more about delivering its signature and slightly bass-heavy audio that caters to the casual listener. Given its reception (and sales) Sony took its slightly bass-heavy sound profile in stride and added minor improvements seen in the last WH-1000MX5 headphones launched in 2022.
Sony WH-1000XM6 Wireless Headphones Summary
Sony’s WH-1000XM6 headphones have a refreshed design with new metal linkages on the headband that allows the headphones to fold inwards. Also new is the carry case which now has a magnetic flap instead of a zip, making it easy to access the headphones.
There’s plenty of new features and it’s nice to have a lot of customisation built into the Sony Sound Connect app. This lets users not only customise the sound, but the active noise cancelling experience as well.
Audio quality isn’t perfect by audiophile standards, but remains enjoyable to the broader audience that will get these headphones mainly for their ANC capability. As for the noise cancelling, it is top notch and now powered by a more power-efficient chipset.
Battery life is good as well. The headphones charge up quickly and can easily last more than a day with ANC turned on for continuous music listening.
