However, if you want a quick guide to what the XM6 has to offer before swiping that card, let’s take you through its key features and our experience with the headphones, while giving you a closer look at the new Olive edition.1. A premium design that gets the details rightThe WH-1000XM6 has a clean, minimal design that feels premium without being flashy. The new Olive colour builds on that look, with a matte finish and a slightly rough texture, much like the white variant we reviewed earlier. The soft ear cushions and padded headband make the headphones comfortable to wear all day long. The folding design also returns with the XM6, making them easier to carry. 2. Noise cancellation that makes a differenceOne of the best things about the XM6 is its active noise cancellation. Whether you’re working in a noisy office, travelling on public transport or simply trying to focus at home, the headphones do a great job of blocking out surrounding noise. And when you do want to hear what’s happening around you, you can switch to ambient sound mode without taking them off.3. Sound that works across genresAs good as the ANC is, the sound quality is equally impressive. During my review, I listened to a lot of music across different genres, and the XM6 handled them all beautifully and balanced. Vocals sounded clear, instruments had room to breathe, and whether it was pop or more detailed tracks, the sound felt rich and engaging. It has an energetic character that makes listening to music an enjoyable experience.4. Useful controls and app customisationThe touch controls and physical buttons also make it easy to manage playback, calls and noise cancellation. The Sony Sound Connect app adds more control, including equaliser settings, adaptive sound options and spatial audio features. You can adjust the listening experience to suit your preferences rather than sticking with the default sound profile.5. Battery life built for everyday useBattery life is impressive too. Sony promises up to 30 hours of listening with noise cancellation on, and in my experience, the headphones lasted around two days of regular use before needing a recharge. Whether I was using them for work, during my commute or for long music sessions, I rarely had to worry about reaching for the charger.6. The verdictThe Sony XM6 headphone delivers the kind of premium headphone experience you will enjoy using every day. I really like how well it handles noise cancellation and sound, while the comfortable fit makes it easy to wear for hours. At its MRP of Rs 49,990, the XM6 is among the best premium headphones you can buy. And with the festive offer bringing the price down to Rs 35,990, plus an additional Rs 1,000 cashback, they become an even more tempting option if you have been planning to upgrade.- Ends
