"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. 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."
"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 on the XM5 with better sound, higher-performing active noise cancellation, and an improved travel case that folds for easier storage. The XM6 features a slightly heavier but more comfortable design with a wider headband and more circular earcups that provide a snug, secure fit. Foldable earcups and a redesigned easy-to-store case make the XM6 a practical choice for travelers who previously favored compact earbuds or other foldable over-ear models. The earcups can retain sweat in warm conditions, but the overall comfort and performance support frequent travel use.
