Video Description

SONY WH-1000XM6 👉 https://mikeobrienmedia.com/SonyXM6 Sony just launched their new flagship headphones after years of anticipation and speculation. These headphones promise to somehow be even better than the XM5 headphones, so I had to test them myself. In this video, I test the sound, anc, mics, transparency, durability, fit, and more.
