Sony 's WH-1000XM6 ($ 1000X mark six ) are the best noise-canceling headphones on Earth .

They cost $ 50 more at launch than their predecessors, but they're more than worth the extra cash.

Sony claims to have seven times the processing speed of the previous model.

The WH-1000XM6 use noise canceling create a perfectly silent musical backdrop with which to enjoy your favorite music.

The increased speediness of the processing is particularly noticeable in the high end, where the fast frequencies are harder to tame than lower, slower sounds.

The headband, however, does leave a bit to be desired, but I feel there could be a bit more padding.

The most annoying thing in my testing? It took me a couple tries to get used to folding the headphones the proper way to put them back in the case.

These sound better than the latest Bose model, offer better noise canceling, and are generally better to use.

Compared to the equivalently priced AirPods Max , all those things are true.
