"Wireless earbuds are better than ever in 2025, but there's no substitute for a pair of big, beefy, wireless over-ear headphones. With over-ear audio, you get (ideally) active and passive noise cancellation, a bigger battery, and added comfort with cushy cups that don't plug up your ear canal. Just like wireless earbuds, though, there are lots of different wireless headphones out there, and even the best of the best have different strengths and weaknesses."
"There are hits, and there are hits, and Sony's WH-1000XM6 are the latter. Sony's latest pair of class-leading wireless headphones get good marks unanimously, and our thoughts are no different. The WH-1000XM6 aces all of the important stuff in a pair of headphones: the active noise cancellation (ANC) is great as usual, and the sound is characteristically excellent thanks to two 30mm drivers that deliver robust highs, mids, and lows without getting muddied up by distortion."
"It's not just the basics. The WH-1000XM6 are feature-rich thanks to Sony's companion app, and they also come equipped with spatial audio and several listening modes for any occasioneven a background music mode for when you want to talk but still listen to music quietly. If you never want to take these wireless headphones off, you don't have to either; a 12-mic array with beamforming delivers your voice with clarity while the headphones also reduce background noise with AI."
Wireless earbuds have improved by 2025, but over-ear wireless headphones offer active and passive noise cancellation, larger batteries, and added comfort from cushioned ear cups that do not plug the ear canal. Many wireless headphones exist with varying strengths and weaknesses, which complicates choosing and often costs more than midrange wireless earbuds. Different use cases call for different features such as strong ANC, hi‑fi sound, or versatile all‑round performance. The Sony WH-1000XM6 ranks as an all‑around top pick, delivering excellent ANC, two 30mm drivers for clear highs, mids, and lows, spatial audio, multiple listening modes, a 12‑mic beamforming array, and AI background‑noise reduction.
