Sony WH-1000XM6 Review - With XM5, XM4, XM3 And XM2 Should You Upgrade?

So these are the Sony WH-1000XM6’s and it really shows that Sony is listening cause these addressed almost all of the hardware issues that I had with the Sony 1000XM5’s. Most notably the Sony 1000XM6’s have brought back their foldable design, their ear cups are a little more spacious, and their headband has a little more surface area so hot spots are less of an issue. And more importantly, these block out more noise than the Sony 1000XM5’s, which was already super impressive. However there are some firmware issues here that are preventing these headphones from being perfect. Nonetheless today we’re going to checkout the Sony 1000XM6’s and we’re going to see how they compare to both the Sony 1000XM5’s and the Sony 1000XM4’s… and we’re also going to be throwing in the Sony 1000XM3’s and the 1000XM2’s for good measure.

Now I will admit, we got the Sony WH-1000XM5’s much earlier than I expected. I wasn’t expecting these headphones for another 8 to 12 months. Now even though the 1000XM5’s block out more noise, they sound a little better, and they have better feeling leatherette… their redesigned body has brought us all the way back to square one. Nonetheless, today we’re going to checkout the 1000XM5’s…. And we’re going to see how they compare to the 1000XM4’s, 1000XM3’s, and I’m even going to lightly sprinkle in the 1000XM2’s.

So now that that AirPods max are here there’s definitely a lot of hype around them cause they’re from apple. Now even though the AirPods Max do deliver when it comes to sound and active noise cancelation… personally I find it very hard to justify them cause they just have a lot of quirks to them that are very hard to over look when you’re dropping $550 for your headphones.

So today we’re going to be comparing the AirPods Max to more sensible options like the Sony 1000XM4’s… and we’re also going to be comparing them to the Sony 1000XM3’s… cause cause even though the 1000XM4’s are out… these are still a great pair of ANC headphones.
