"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."
"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. It sports the same earcups, which tend to retain sweat in warm environments, but I haven't had this issue so far. Still, the XM6 fit me more comfortably and securely than the XM5."
"Also: I replaced my bulky headphones with these Pixel earbuds for traveling - and can't go back 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."
The Sony WH-1000XM6 improves on the XM5 with better sound quality and stronger active noise cancellation. The headphones offer a more comfortable, snug fit thanks to a wider headband and more circular earcup design. Foldable earcups and a redesigned, easy-to-store travel case make the XM6 better suited for travel than the XM5. The headphones remain slightly heavier by four grams but feel more secure in use. High-performing ANC, excellent sound, and compact storage lead to reconsidering previous travel choices like earbuds for long trips.
