I bought these as an upgrade from my Sony WH-1000XM5's because I was excited about the LE Audio connectivity, thinking it would allow me to game and use the microphone at the same time with full quality audio (with traditional Bluetooth, the audio quality drops dramatically whenever the mic is active, and LE Audio is purported to fix this).

Unfortunately, I was overly optimistic. First, enabling LE Audio in Windows is only possible in rare circumstances where the OEM provided driver indicates LE Audio support, even if the underlying chipset is rated for Bluetooth 5.2+. Secondly, even if your computer supports it or you buy a secondary dongle, the audio quality still drops terribly when the mic is active.

I will spare all the details but check out the Reddit thread "WH-1000XM6 via LC3 - a limited experience for gaming" for more of a breakdown.

Overall, I found nothing in the Sony WH-1000XM6's to be a worthwhile upgrade without working LE Audio and returned them. I'll continue with my Sony WH-1000XM5's (and an external mic for gaming) for the foreseeable future.

I clicked on the 2 black color links, and price is at $398, the code is not working to get them at $318, unless I'm doing something wrong

You probably have to go all the way to checkout and then click the checkbox on the HOLIDAYRUSH coupon to apply it to your cart. Seems like a unnecessary step and probably meant to make the guest quickly run through checkout at regular price?

The black model works for me. I click apply coupon before adding to the cart. The cart won't show the coupon, but if you go to checkout it will reflect the discount.

It's odd, already shows a saving from $458 to $398+tax... then i apply the coupon but there is a message that can't be used.

Then its probable that eBay thinks you have already used the coupon, its limited to $500 in purchases or $50 off. Weird but dont worry these deals keep coming around, would not be surprised if the offer comes back. Good luck!

Get black. Any other color the ear pads will get dirty real quick.

What about warranty? Does it matter which of the following sellers to buy from?

Thanks for your input here. How would you say the XM6's compare to the XM4's?

I have the XM4 and think they're great! Just curious if the upgrade to the XM6 is worth it.

Thanks again!
