Been using the new black MX6 since it's release. Was using the XM4 before. These have all the greatness of the XM4 with a small but noticeable increase in noise cancellation. Battery life is crazy good. Headband is comfortable. Interesting feature, you can connect to 2 bluetooth devices and it will auto switch to which ever one produces audio. So you can pause on one thing, start playing on another thing and the headphones will auto switch.

A few very slight negatives: these make my ears more sweaty than the XM4 did. Since these new headphones are more flexible, the headband can move around and get twisted and angled on top of the head making it look like you're wearing then wonky. I'm constantly having to check to make sure the headband is straight across. The other slight negative is the outside ear cups show oily marks super easily which is a bit unpleasant to see but not a super big deal.

Overall I love these headphones and am glad I upgraded.

Can second this! Recently bought a pair of XM4 headphones (in navy color for $139) from Secondipity and they came like new.

I want to upgrade my old Bose QC35's so bad but I'm still not feeling confident about the hinges on this. I feel like the Sony subreddit is just an endless stream of broken plastic photos.

For me to justify spending $300+ on headphones, they need to last 5+ years. So I asked AI if it's worth upgrading from XM4s from a durability and longevity perspective, following the notoriously problematic XM5s with their failure prone hinges - here's what it said:

The Sony WH-1000XM6 attempts to address the XM5's fragility by using a new threaded metal mechanism in the hinge. However, some early technical teardowns and user reports indicate that while the plastic is less likely to snap, the internal nut can become loose over time, leading to a "dangling" earcup. While this is often a mechanical loosening rather than a material fracture, it still requires repair.

The Sony WH-1000XM4 remains the gold standard for durability in this lineup. Its traditional folding mechanism uses shorter lever arms, which reduces the physical stress placed on the pivot points. Users who prioritize a "rugged" feel typically prefer the XM4 over the newer, sleeker designs. The Sony WH-1000XM5 is widely considered the most delicate of the three due to its thin, single-contact swivel points.
