Compact folding design, optimal for travel
The Sony WH-1000XM6 wireless headphones bring back the familiar foldable design, after the XM5 generation removed this feature, causing some inconvenience to users. Thanks to that, storing the headphones in the included fabric case becomes easier, especially for those who travel frequently. The case is also renewed, using woven fabric material combined with magnets for the lid, both sturdy and aesthetically pleasing.

The first time you hold this wireless headset, you will notice that it is lighter than expected. The smooth, matte plastic material not only feels premium but is also comfortable to the touch. The thick and soft ear cushions, along with a headband with reasonable elasticity, create a comfortable feeling even when worn continuously for many hours.
Actual experience when wearing headphones for more than 4 hours but did not experience hot ears or ear pain. Of which, the first 2 hours of use in transparent mode for work, and the next 2 hours with noise cancellation turned on to watch videos , did not cause discomfort or need to remove the headphones in the middle.
Effective active noise cancellation performance in real life on WH-1000XM6
The WH-1000XM6 continues to promote the traditional strengths of Sony's high-end noise-canceling headphones. The new generation QN3 HD noise-canceling processor combined with an omnidirectional microphone system helps to identify and process noise better. When tested in spaces such as cafes and open offices, the headphones almost completely eliminate background sounds such as people talking, air conditioning or typing.

The switching mode between noise cancellation and transparency works quickly, allowing users to adapt flexibly when moving between different spaces. The mode switching button is clearly arranged on the body of the headset, combined with indicator lights and sound feedback, making recognition and operation smooth during use.
Balanced sound quality, good support for both work and entertainment
In addition to noise cancellation, the sound quality on the Sony WH-1000XM6 has also been improved compared to the previous generation. The headphones support LDAC codec, DSEE Extreme and 360 Reality Audio - Sony's signature technologies to enhance sound detail.

Practical experience with music streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music shows that the WH-1000XM6's bass range is well controlled, powerful but does not overwhelm the remaining ranges. Pop and acoustic music are clearly expressed, especially the vocals have clear separation and definition. In high-pitched songs by singers such as Ngo Lan Huong, Trung Quan or instrumental music, the clarity and sharpness of the mid and treble ranges help bring a pleasant experience, without being harsh.
The joint has a perfect design, allowing the headset to rotate flexibly without making any noise for a more comfortable experience.

The soundstage is also well-defined, allowing the listener to feel the layers of instruments and the depth of the mix. This is a headphone model suitable for both recreational listeners and those who need to concentrate while working.
Many smart features, battery life lasts all week
WH-1000XM6 still retains the familiar touch control features: swipe up to increase volume, swipe down to decrease, double tap to play/pause music. However, the volume up and down swipe action still has a slight delay, needing to be fine-tuned for a more intuitive feel. The Adaptive Sound Control feature works stably, can automatically recognize the environment (walking, sitting still, moving...) to switch between noise cancellation and transparency. Users can also fine-tune each condition specifically through the Sound Connect application.

Speak-to-Chat and Quick Attention both work as expected: just start talking, the headset automatically recognizes the listener's voice and switches to external sound mode, or when you need to quickly hear external sounds, just put your hand on the right ear to hear environmental sounds instantly.
The WH-1000XM6 supports Bluetooth 5.4 and LE Audio connectivity, while retaining the multipoint feature – allowing connection to two devices at the same time. This feature works smoothly when switching between a laptop and a phone without any interruptions. Regarding the battery, when used 4-5 hours a day, it can still be used for a week without needing to be recharged. This is a clear advantage, especially for users who travel a lot.
General assessment
The Sony WH-1000XM6 represents a subtle and sensible upgrade, maintaining the strengths of its predecessor while addressing the practical limitations noted in the previous generation. The return of the foldable design is not just a change in appearance, but also a clear response to the practical needs of modern users. The premium build quality, comfortable wearing feel and a week-long battery life make it a reliable choice for both work and play.
Noise cancellation is still a highlight, but this time it is supplemented by stability in handling constantly changing environments and effective multi-device connectivity. The sound quality is balanced, suitable for many different music genres and tastes.
