"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. Within a week of using these headphones, they're now a mainstay in my backpack for every trip -- here's why."
"I didn't use the Sony XM5 headphones after the initial review period because the fit and comfort weren't as good as those of the XM4, my Bose QC Ultra, or the Sonos Ace headphones. But Sony returns to glory with the XM6. They are four grams heavier than their predecessor, but I find them more comfortable to wear. This could be because of the wider headband and a more circular earcup design."
The Sony WH-1000XM6 deliver improved sound quality and active noise cancellation over the previous generation. The headphones add foldable earcups and a redesigned, easy-to-store travel case that enhance portability for trips. The XM6 return to a more comfortable fit with a wider headband and more circular earcups, despite being four grams heavier than the XM5. The ANC, sound performance, and compact storage make the XM6 a preferred choice for travel over compact earbuds and some competing over-ear models. The earcups can retain sweat in warm environments, but overall comfort and secure fit are notable upgrades.
