Thank you again for giving the product another chance, we’re hopeful your second experience will be the one you were looking forward to.
Good sound quality. Comparing these to an older version, they felt like the materials were cheaper, the headphones were flimsier, and overall higher risk of breaking. Which, to me, kind of forces customers to feel like they "need" the extra warrantee to actually get their money's worth out of them. With this in mind, they're nowhere near worth as much as they cost on this website. If you can get a reliably refurbished pair for 60-70% of the price, I'd recommend that.

The best headphones! I got these primarily for work - I wanted the best noise cancelling & these are IT! Love the long battery life & how comfortable they are (I can wear them all day with glasses). Plus, they don’t fall off if you’re wearing them while working out!
When my over-ear headphones started glitching out, I knew I had to find another pair immediately. I jumped on the Sony XM6’s at first, but I quickly realized I didn’t like the design and that most of the new features are essentially useless in NYC (like the volume lowering when you’re speaking so you can hear during a conversation, but the mic picks up every little sound including the 8 million people around you, so my volume was constantly lowering when I wasn’t speaking to anyone.) I decided to switch to these and I’m VERY happy with the design and color choices and how the headphones sound overall. I love the immersion mode even though it does drain the battery pretty quickly in conjunction with noise cancellation. I do think the ANC is slightly better on the XM6’s, but I’m much happier with every feature overall on the QC2’s.
