Comfort & fit

Each part is measured the same way for every model (from specs and lab test measurements where they exist) and moves up or down with what reviewers praise or criticise.

Pros

Deep but controlled bass, natural vocals, wide stage
ANC handles AC hum, chatter and road noise very well; natural ambient mode
Comfortable for long sessions
Lasted far beyond Sony's claim in their test
Clear calls with good noise suppression, hardware mute
Bass-rich sound with crisp vocals and good separation
Strong ANC on flights and streets

Cons

320 g, heavier than XM6
No IP rating; pads get warm without AC
Doesn't fold, big case
No USB-C audio, wired needs power
Slow 3.5 h charge, app sometimes misses the headphones on Android
Loose headband grip, not for workouts
Heavy and non-folding

DigitSep 2026

Excellent sound and ANC in a more luxurious, comfortable shell; very expensive and missing a few basics.
Business TodaySep 2026

Best for people who value comfort, design and immersive sound over portability; not an upgrade over the XM6 so much as a luxury alternative.
GSMArenaJun 2026

A comfier, posher WH-1000XM6 that gives up some ANC and battery; overkill unless you love premium Sony gear. Tested global version.
What Hi-FiMay 2026

Detailed, refined and spacious, but more cerebral than fun. Tested UK version.
EngadgetMay 2026

More luxurious and comfortable than any 1000X before it, but sound and ANC trail the cheaper XM6. Tested US version.
