Our take on the Sony WH-1000XM6 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones

Sony's flagship over-ear headphones, the third generation of the 1000X line since the XM4. They fold flat again after the XM5's fixed hinge, use a new QN3 processor with more microphones for adaptive noise cancelling, and add a 12-microphone array for calls. Reviewers rate the cancellation and call clarity at the top of the class, ahead of Bose's QuietComfort Ultra on features but close on comfort. They suit frequent flyers, commuters and remote workers who want one pair for travel, calls and all-day listening.

Questions and answers

Is the XM6 worth it over the XM5?
Yes if you fly or take calls often. The XM6 folds flat again and has stronger cancellation and clearer mics. The XM5 remains a good buy for casual listening.
How does it compare with the Bose QuietComfort Ultra?
The two are close on cancellation. Sony wins on codecs, multipoint and folding; Bose is often judged slightly more comfortable and simpler to use.
How long does the battery last?
Sony rates it around 30 hours with cancelling on. A short charge gives several hours of playback, enough for a short flight.
Can I connect to two devices at once?
Yes. Multipoint pairing lets you switch between a laptop and a phone without repairing.
Does it work for calls on a laptop?
