"The Sony WH-1000XM5 were great but lacked a few features that I consider essential for travel. That's why I chose the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones as my go-to travel headphones, for their comfortable fit and foldable design. But three years after the XM5 launch, Sony has finally released a worthy successor. And it improves on the last-gen product in every way."
"Before the , the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 were my travel companion, thanks to their powerful ANC performance, comfortable fit for long-haul flights, great sound, and small form factor. However, the XM6's foldable earcups, redesigned easy-to-store case, excellent sound, and high-performing ANC made me reconsider packing over-ear headphones before heading to the airport. I used these headphones for a week, and they're now likely to stay in my backpack for every trip -- here's why."
The Sony WH-1000XM6 improves sound quality and active noise cancellation compared with the previous generation. Foldable earcups and a redesigned, easy-to-store travel case make the headphones more travel-friendly. A wider headband and more circular earcup shape provide a more comfortable, secure fit despite the headphones being four grams heavier than the XM5. The earcups can retain sweat in warm environments, though no significant issues were reported. Excellent sound, high-performing ANC, and compact storage capabilities reduce the need to skip over-ear headphones for trips. Comparisons include the Bose QuietComfort Ultra and Google Pixel Buds Pro 2.
