I spent 48 hours with Sony’s WH-1000XM6 and I don’t want to give them back
- Sony's WH-1000XM6 headphones offer a blend of anticipated upgrades and unexpected changes, setting them apart from their predecessors.
- Priced at $450, these headphones boast enhancements in sound quality, ANC, and call performance, validating Sony's claims of improvement.
- The WH-1000XM6 impress with their small carbon fiber transducers that deliver substantial bass, disproving the notion of needing large drivers for impactful bass.
- Noteworthy improvements in WH-1000XM6 include enhanced design details, reinforced hinges, and a more luxurious yet lightweight construction.
- These headphones feature a sleek, durable design with seamless earcup shells and flush-mounted metal grilles for a sophisticated finish.
- Sony has made comfort enhancements with increased clamping force, improved fit with added springs, and deeper padding on earcups and headband.
- The XM6 earcups rotate more conveniently, allowing for cushion side placement when not in use, and easier removal and replacement of cushions.
- Sony's XM6 headphones introduce the ability to charge wirelessly while in use, a feature absent in the XM5, albeit a longer charging cable is recommended.
- Despite impressive features, the XM6 lack a lossless connection via USB-C, a notable absence compared to other flagship headphones offering this option.
- Spatial audio experience on the XM6 is improved, available with any stereo source on iOS and Android, but head tracking remains limited to Android users.
- While the WH-1000XM6 stand out as impressive wireless headphones, existing WH-1000XM5 owners may not feel compelled to upgrade, especially with discounted XM5 prices.
