““Nice, crisp, and clean” aren’t words I’d ever use to describe the XM6 (or any Sony wireless headphone, for that matter.) With Sony, you’re paying for the tech. The tech is fantastic. Unbeatable ANC, and a lot of nice features, even involving sound modification. If you want great ANC and lots of modifications to the sound, plus lots of tech, the XM6 are excellent. I personally like the XM5’s comfort better (except for the headband). But if you want something that will really bring out the music, and that are crisp and clear, there are better options. Consider the Sennheiser Momentum 4, which has a much clearer sound. It also basically feels like an upgrade to the XM4. Although if you want crisp, and you have an Apple product, the AirPods Max is an option. (I know people hate on them, but they’re a decent pair of headphones that, to me, sound excellent and crisp, though you’re paying for the tech and name there, too.) If you don’t mind going a bit older, the Master & Dynamic MW65 remain…”

“If noise cancellation is your biggest concern you should get the XM6's and for regular music they’re great. Also the Bose QuietComfort but they don’t sound as good. In terms of audio quality I think the Momentum 4's are a tad bit better but the noise cancellation is not as good. Only if you were looking for audio quality and nothing else you should look at some open backs, otherwise any of these should do. :) Just don’t get the XM5's I had mine for less than a year and the hinge broke easily. Sony sucks with their customer support.”
