"The XM6 feature Sony's typical warm and smooth sound profile, characterized by minimal peaks and piercing in the higher frequencies, and a slight emphasis on the bass. Atmospheric alternative rock, like The 1975's "Pressure" produces clear vocals, transparent instrumentals, and a tight bass response. Also: I replaced my bulky headphones with these Pixel earbuds for traveling - and can't go back Like all headphones, turning off ANC or ambient noise creates a more neutral sound that most people may find dull or uninspiring."
"Most ANC-enabled headphones engage dynamic tuning with added noise features turned on, and the XM6 are no different. Turning on noise cancellation or ambient sound brings more color and vibrancy, creating a more enjoyable listening experience. One of the XM6's standout features is that listeners can listen in spatial audio on any platform, while listening in spatial audio with the XM5 was reserved for very few music-streaming platforms."
Sony's WH-1000XM6 arrive after a three-year gap as the company's most advanced consumer over-ear headphones, carrying a reputation for comfort, sound, software features, and excellent noise cancellation. The XM6 deliver a warm, smooth sound profile with minimal high-frequency peaks, slight bass emphasis, and clear vocals and instrumentals on atmospheric alternative rock. The XM6 sound without ANC is fuller than the XM5, which can sound tinny and grainy. Dynamic tuning with ANC or ambient modes adds color and vibrancy. The XM6 enable spatial audio on any platform via Sony 360 Spatial Sound. Pricing approaches $500.
