Bottom line: If you're serious about blocking out the world and want flagship audio quality, these deliver.

Not cheap, but they justify the investment for frequent travellers, remote workers, or serious listeners.

Sony WH-1000 XM6 review: You’ll have to speak up, I’m wearing the XM6
Sony's WH-1000 XM6 flagship wireless headphones offer phenomenal sound quality with even more impressive noise cancellation.

The downsides?

* Premium price won't suit every budget
* Limited spatial audio support vs competitors
* Touch controls take some getting used to
* Clamp a bit tight when worn around neck

Battery life is fantastic: 30 hours with ANC on, plus quick charging (3 mins = 3 hours playback). Perfect for long flights or extended work sessions.

Comfort is solid - I wore these for hours with glasses on without the brain-crushing feeling some headphones give you.

The secret? Sony's new QN3 processor (7x faster than XM5) + 12 microphones working together. It's next-level compared to AirPods Max and Sonos Ace.
Sound quality is exceptional too - crisp and detailed across every genre I tested.

Just finished a month testing @sonyaustralia.bsky.social's flagship WH-1000 XM6 headphones ($699.95) and WOW. The noise cancellation is genuinely mind-blowing.
I stood next to my range hood on max setting and heard absolutely nothing except my music.

With the latest update, Spotify's free tier lets you listen to particular tracks and share with friends, though you'll still get ads and a shuffled playlist experience.

At IFA last week Ecovacs showed off its latest flagship vacuum, the X11 OmniCyclone, with a cyclonic, bag-free dustbin. But it wasn't alone.

The Apple Watch 11, new Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Ultra 3 all have some minor hardware improvements, but it's the software that's the hero this year.
