I've just bought ult wear from jio mart for 9k and i have to say this these headphones even at this price are nothing but pure trash. the cushion padding is so awful i cant even fathom to explain how uncomfortable these headphones are even for 10 minutes these are unbearable to wear. the sound optimization of these headphones is also something which is not to be expected of this price range. i have to say even 2k headphones can easily compete with these trash bags anc off. Also at the topic of anc these headphones even fall behind the earbuds level of noise cancellation. There is literally no difference to environmental noise if the ANC is on or off. I repeat do not at all repeat the mistake of buying these even for the price range of 9k it's better to burn your money

I bought brand new xm6’s about a week ago and when I first started using them the noise cancelling was perfect, I couldn’t hear talking through them when I study in big groups but the past few days I noticed voices are leaking through and when there’s no music on the ANC feels very weak compared to when they were fresh out of box. I keep them in carry case and have otherwise taken good care of them. Has anyone else experienced this or would know any solutions?

I had ordered Sony at No cost EMI for around 670 per month for 18 months, while for Bose I'll pay upfront 9.2k, which has better ANC,

I already have Sony xm6 headphones got for 25.5k during sale so I need tws.

It's been a while since I was active on this sub and idk of people are still sharing broken XM5s. Mine are still perfect and still sound amazing after 16 months of an almost daily use. Idk if this info helps someone.

Hey! Just got my xm5 delivered(india) even after knowing about broken hinges took the risk! But there was no tidal or whatever it's called card in it the free card everything else looks fine, connects to sony app warranty is registered rest of the items are there, I doubt is it some kind of too good "fakes" as it connects to app or that card is not given in my unit, it's manufactured at Feb 2025. It updated via app too.

Planning to buy those, store has a promo hehe. Let me know your thoughts on XM6s. I heard good and bad things from various reviews. Most of them saying that they sound bad? Idk probably because most of the reviewers I listen to are audiophiles? Idk. Educate me pls Thanks!

I currently use AirPods Pro 2. I’m considering getting the Sony WH-1000XM6. Is it worth spending money or would I be better off sticking with my AirPods Pro 2?

Would love to hear your experiences and suggestions!

If you had to choose one for the gym, what would you choose say they’re both the same price I’m stuck between these two. I don’t know what to choose.

I’m looking to upgrade to my first proper pair of premium over-ear headphones and have narrowed it down to these two.

XM5: AED 827 (~$225)
XM6: AED 1,157 (~$315)

I currently use AirPods Pro 2 and a Sony WH-CH520, so this would be my first reasonably expensive pair of headphones.

The XM5 seems like a great deal at this price, but after reading all the posts about the hinge issues and them breaking, I’m having second thoughts. I know no headphones are immune to damage, but spending this much and having to worry about the hinges is kinda putting me off.

Is the XM6's redesigned hinge actually more reliable? Is it worth paying the extra $90 for the XM6, or would you just get the XM5 and save the money?

Would love to hear from people who have owned either pair for a while, especially regarding durability and long term reliability.

Recently bought the XM5 on eBay from Secondipity for $126.06. They look 10/10 — I can't see even a single scratch. They honestly look brand new.

I came from the Sony ULT Wear, and the second I put the XM5 on, I could immediately tell the difference. The ULT sounded kind of flat in comparison, while the XM5 sounds so much more detailed and clear. I can actually hear each instrument separately, and the vocals sound much better too.

I'm so happy with these headphones. They honestly feel like they're on another level.

The first thing I checked when they arrived was the hinges, since I've heard about the hinge issues, and they look perfect.

Do you guys think I got a good deal for $126.06?
