The Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones are designed for anyone who wants to shut out the world and focus on their music, whether you're commuting, working from home, or travelling. With the new HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN3 and 12 precision mics, these headphones deliver exceptional noise cancellation that adapts to your environment.

You get 30 hours of battery life on a single charge, so you can go days without the cable. Fast charging gives a quick boost when short on time, and a full charge takes about 210 minutes via USB-C.

Customers Say
Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones offer excellent sound quality, top-tier noise cancellation, and great battery life. Comfort is generally good but some find clamping force strong and ear pads warm. Case design and app usability have minor drawbacks.

A lovely upgrade from the XM5
So, as someone who had the previous version, the WH-1000XM5, for a couple of years, I decided it was finally time for an upgrade and treated myself to the WH-1000XM6 in this absolutely gorgeous khaki colour! As with the previous version, the sound quality is amazing. They also feel noticeably lighter and look a lot sleeker and more premium than the XM5s. My only gripe is the new case. I wish Sony had kept the zipper! As someone who travels with the headphone case attached to my backpack, the older zipped case gave me much more reassurance that my headphones weren't going to fall out. The new case has a magnetic clasp which feels like it could be undone a little too easily, so I don't feel quite as confident travelling with it. Other than that, a lovely upgrade!

Desperately uncomfortable
Sound quality and noise cancelling are great, totally let down by comfort. The clamping force is too high, the cushions are not padded enough and the drivers push into your ears. Really disappointed as my old XM3s were so good.

VG sound & noise cancelling, bad Bluetooth latency
These headphones sound great and the noise cancellation is excellent. But I bought them to use via Bluetooth while practising on my keyboard and sadly the bt link has such bad latency that they're unususable for this purpose except via USB cable. Therefore only four out of five stars.😐

Brilliant ear phones
Great sound - easy to connect - fits in ears perfectly and allows you to adjust to your ears for perfect pitch. Connects tv ed it to my Sony Bravia to and my I phones and it switched effortlessly. Great battery life and very immersive.

Utterly epic headphones that tick every box!
The case is good, if a little fiddly to use until you get used to it. The headphones are a little warm around the ears to wear, but connect flawlessly every time with my phone. They are bulky, but light and comfortable to wear for long periods. I wear specs all the time and thankfully the sidearms are flat so they don't leave gaps in the cushions for noise to leak through. Noise cancelling is phenomenal! I always have the sound at a low level & cannot hear anything external except for sharp sudden noises which are very diminished by the time they reach my ears. They basically act as superb ear defenders. I've used them with routers, saws and drills and honestly can't hear much, if anything, at all. I get a lot of grief from my wife because I can't hear a word she says and she has a fairly loud voice! It's very simple though to press against the right ear plate to temporarily listen to something or someone. I have learnt to have ambient mode selected when outdoors, otherwise I can't hear loud vehicles at all. Wind noise can be a bit irritating under those circumstances if it is blowing a strong breeze, but it's a small price to pay to be safe. The sound quality is superb. I'm playing lossless via Spotify with LDAC enabled. It's utterly beautiful! Battery life is very good, but this brings me to the only thing I'd like to see improved - the option to stop charging at 80% to extend the life of the battery. The controls are easy to learn and use and the software (Sound Connect) isn't too bad either.

Absolutely Thrilled – Exceptional Noise Cancelling
I am absolutely thrilled with these headphones! The active noise cancellation is unmatched and easily blocks out any background noise. Sound quality is rich, clear, and balanced. Connectivity is seamless without any drops. Highly recommended to anyone!

Amazing headphones.
Upgraded from the XM3 (which I loved) and the difference is amazing. They’re so comfy and the sound is amazing. Noise cancelling is also brilliant - been having some work done on the house and they’ve been a godsend whilst working to block everything out. Battery life is really good. I’ve only had to charge them once so far and they’ve been heavily used. I’m so glad I decided to go for a newer model. The only downside is it took me ages to find an equaliser that was good for me - even the equaliser finder didn’t really help but I googled some settings and have finally got them where I want them to be.

Great piece of kit!
I was mulling over which headphones to get and these XM6's were coming on top on majority of the reviews and comparisons sites. Sound quality is awesome on them and the ANC is also very good. Only negatives for me at this stage is that they markup really quickly and also tend to slip off when doing any activities in the gym that require you to look up like bench pressing etc. Only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars.
