Sony WH-1000XM6
Sony's latest cans are an iterative update — there's a new hinge, improved sound quality, and a brand new carrying case. Comfort has improved thanks to the thicker headband, and there's much better call quality. Its 30 hours of battery remains unchanged, however. They're less a leap up and more a lateral step.
Sony WH-1000XM5
The XM5 have been around for a while now, but they're no less excellent years after their initial release. Great noise canceling, solid sound quality and a comfortable fit make for a pair of headphones that's been at the top of our best list for quite some time. They're still available, making them a cheaper alternative.
