Introduction
This video reviews the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones, comparing them to their predecessors, the XM5s. The reviewer discusses features, design changes, sound quality, noise cancellation, and overall value.
Key Takeaways
Superior Noise Cancellation: The XM6s boast significantly improved noise cancellation over the XM5s, thanks to the increased number of microphones and a faster processor. The reviewer notes a noticeable difference, particularly in busy environments.
Improved Sound Quality: The XM6s offer a wider soundstage, clearer vocals, and a better bass response compared to the XM5s, while maintaining the signature Sony sound.
Foldable Design Returns: Sony has brought back the foldable design in the XM6s, along with a smaller, more eco-friendly carrying case. This addresses a common criticism of the XM5s.
Excellent Transparency Mode: The transparency mode on the XM6s is praised for its natural sound reproduction, surpassing even the AirPods Max in the reviewer's opinion.
Call Quality Issues: While call quality is generally good in quiet environments, the XM6s struggle in noisier settings, experiencing audio dropouts and jumbled audio.
Price Point: At $450, the XM6s are a premium product, comparable in price to competitors like the Bose QuietComfort Ultra and Apple AirPods Max. The reviewer suggests that the XM5s are currently $150 cheaper, making the upgrade decision more complex.
