XM6 is the winner you could adjust the EQ. Sony connect app is more fun. It has Ldac

I’m sorry Bose Qc ultra Gen 2 I have the AirPod pro Max but they are not made for long wear sessions they are still heavy

CNET – you show an image of the XM5 as the broken headphones, not the XM6. More quality review and QC needed.

Agreed! I should have caught that in the edits. Thanks for pointing it out

max 2 are horrible. took them back. expensive your right. in return alot of clamp force for big heads. just heavy. apparently the mesh headband gets wonky after 3-4 years. the diaphragm size remains the same no physical materials improvement just better tuning i agree. the loud was a disappointment.
cranking these up was terrible. i want mines to go so loud that i need to lower them. i like mines to be able to do this. theres no power off button. the midnight color is not black at all theres so much light grey accents and some aluminum blue hues. the cable that comes with it is not long enough and is not color matched either. battery life is terrible compared to others. and the bra case never got improved at all. at this point Apple doesnt want to give what people want and leadership keeping this cherade going even after 6 years later. just horrendous!!! supposedly rumor mill points to ultra headphones coming. at this point significant lightweight design and powering off feature will be the key factor for shelling out hard earned money to stay in ecosystem because my money is staying in my bank account.

No change. the mesh canopy flattens out after a couple of months, confort is affected, and with no warranty from Apple (I’ve checked in an Apple Store). Too bad, really! Thank you for your review, I own the Sony and a iPhone, I will be comparing with the Max 2 soon and .. will make a decision. Cheers!

The B&W Px8 Mk2 beats them both hands down on sound quality. They cost about the same as Apple phones too, if more expensive than the Sony. I have both the B&W’s and Sony Mk6, because I was so disappointed by the sound quality of the latter 🤷♂️

Just got the AirPods Max 2. ANC is insane, way better than Sony. Build quality is not even comparable to the plastic of XM5/6.

April 14, 2026 at 7:55 pm
Yeah but it is heavy to wear for a long time. They could have at least make it lighter.

The Max 2 look and sound fantastic but the weight, price and placement of the buttons (too hard to hit when putting on) made me send them back.
@chris_panda
April 14, 2026 at 3:40 pm
Definitely not B&W! I had 3 (three!!) PX7 and all of them broke! Not even under heavy use, under minimum use, maybe after 20 time of use max. And I am super careful with my devices. Sound started crackling, cushion got separated (maybe unglued) while it was in the case, LED indicator doesn’t show charging or when they are on, just so many issues! Never will buy any B&W products again.

I think the least Apple could have done in addition to making better ANC, etc, was to make it lighter. That alone would have been a big difference.
