I’ve been listening to all of my favorite tracks on the Sony WH-1000XM6 for weeks now and I’ve made no secret of my fondness for Sony’s latest flagship headphones – especially in my Sony WH-1000XM6 review. With stunning sound quality, top-drawer ANC and a carefully-crafted design, I can’t see myself putting them down anytime soon. They really are true all-rounders, and are more than deserving of their spot on our list of the best noise cancelling headphones.
But alongside the Sony WH-1000XM6, I’ve also been testing their two most recent predecessors, the Sony WH-1000XM5 and Sony WH-1000XM4. I’ve stacked each model against one another on aspects such as audio performance, feature-set and build in order to find which are the best Sony headphones on the market when you balance what they can do against their price.
