        Not really. While the XM4s were the best of them (3,4,5) the 6's are better overall according to sound tests, ANC tests and fit. Is that worth $300, probably not. Most top end items scale of price to performance never quiet match.

              @billa911: I signed up apt, clicked rewards and unlock jb hifi and then shop jbhifi. It then takes me to the jb hifi business site, but I'm not logged in and it's basically just a blank page. I can't order anything because I'm not logged in.

              What's supposed to happen, should I be able to create a jb hifi account or should I automatically be signed in or what?

              Edit: maybe it just took a little while for the account to get created or something. I tried a while later and this time it worked. I didn't have to create a jbhifi account, it simply let me browse and order after using the link from apt. Couldn't use gift cards though, which is a shame.

                  @billa911: Yeah I got the letter of authority before store opened though. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to wait for order to be ready though, I'm hesitant to head over as it's a bit of a drive so I'll wait a bit. Let me know how you go when picking up.

      I had the WH-1000XM5s since release and then bought the Bose Ultras back in October, last year, to compare. The Sony's are better in terms of audio, in music and gaming. ANC performance was identical, in my view. Comfort for the Sony wins too. I found the Bose NCH 700 more comfortable that the Ultras as well (I still have the NCH 700 too).

      I ended up returning the Bose Ultras to The Good Guys for a full refund as I had an issue where no one could hear me clearly when gaming. No issues when using my WH-1000XM5 or other headphones. I used the article on Bose's website as well (about the Self Voice issue with the Ultra), to justify a full refund, as it was evident the Ultra was a buggy mess. I checked now and it seems like they believe they've finally fixed the issue - nice work, Bose. 1.5 years after release date…

      • snuke on 01/06/2025 - 11:33

        I hope you are using these wired for gaming, wireless via BT has horrible latency.

        "latency of 240ms in SBC, 288ms in AAC, and 247ms in LDAC. They had 10ms latency when connected to the audio jack on the phone, and 12ms when wired and powered on. "

          That is a fundamental of Bluetooth though, not model, and why all wireless gaming headsets use a different wireless technology.

          • snuke on 02/06/2025 - 11:43

            @Ademos: Yep, yet somehow many try to defend it as an option. People still get pissy Sony removed the option to connect BT headsets to PlayStations.

        • akyeeeahdude on 03/06/2025 - 17:32

          If you use a bluetooth adapter in your PC that supports LC3, this is reduced to 21.5ms. Example:

          https://www.amazon.com.au/FMA120-Bluetooth-Dual-Mode-Support…

          Low-latency gaming audio as low as 19.5ms*
          Ultra-low latency is achievable with the latest Bluetooth low-energy audio capable headsets and earbuds. The standard USB audio interface supports both speaker and microphone channels.

          *19.5ms latency with aptX-Lite enabled devices, excludes USB driver. Confirmed devices include the Creative Aurvana Ace 2.

          *21.5ms latency when using LC3 enabled earbuds and headsets. Confirmed devices include the Samsung Buds 2/3 Pro, Sony Linkbuds S, Inzone Buds and WF-1000XM5/6.

            @akyeeeahdude: Oops I added this to my cart last night when there were 3 left, got distracted, now there are none :(

            I did find someone’s thoughts on LC3:

            • akyeeeahdude on 05/06/2025 - 08:44

              @2025: Hopefully they'll restock soon. I bought one when I posted this reply and it should arrive today.

              Another option is the Creative BT-W6 as it supports LC3 (I was using an older version of this adapter but it doesn't support LC3). That being said, I did see a comment on Reddit or some other forum about some issues with this adapter and the WH-1000XM6. I wouldn't be too worried as once Sony releases a firmware update (still on day 1 firmware as of today), I assume some of the bugs will be ironed out

            • akyeeeahdude on 05/06/2025 - 08:48

              @2025: Also, the WH-1000XM6 audio output quality whilst gaming, with the mic activated, sounds horrible. I went back to the WH-1000XM5 very quickly and then discovered that this should improve when I use a LC3 adapter. That's even with using the built in bluetooth on my Gigabyte Aorus Z790 motherboard which was released in 2023.

              Will post back tonight, if the adapter arrives, today.

            • akyeeeahdude on 07/06/2025 - 21:29

              @2025: My Floogoo FMA120 adapter arrived today (supports LC3). Playing music from Youtube sounds great (it did before, using the adapter though) but gaming (with the microphone activated) is still quite poor. Fornite doesn't sound too bad but COD/Warzone sounds poor and almost annoys me at times. My WH-1000XM5s sound better in game so now I kind of regret buying the WH-1000XM6 and the Floogoo bluetooth adapter.

              Latency wise, it's a win but it never bothered me that much before, anyway. Whilst connected with the microphone activated, quality is 32khz for audio output and input.

      +3

      For the comfort factor - yes. The WH-1000XM5 and WH-1000XM6 are a completely different design which I find to be much more comfortable, when used for an extended period (2+ hours). I've owned WH-1000XM3, WH-1000XM4 and WH-1000XM5 (all purchased on released day) and audio wise, I never noticed any difference. WH-1000XM3 to WH-1000XM4, when asked, people did mention that my voice sounded more clear which makes sense as the WH-1000XM4 added an additional microphone in one of the ear cups.

        • akyeeeahdude on 01/06/2025 - 15:59

          I bought the WH-1000XM4 on the first day they were released and I wanted to notice a significant difference but I didn't. Same performance in work meetings, phone calls, gaming and music in terms of NC and bass.One thing I'll highlight though is that for the WH-1000XM4s, firmware updates did improve performance, early on. When review sites test these headphones, I'd take a stab and say they're using the day 1 firmware.

    Managed to order with click and collect. If for some reason I can't collect despite being in stock (ie maybe they messed it up as every other place only has them for preorder), can I assume that it would be no problem to either cancel the order or return them immediately when eventually picking them up?

    Just in case others (good guys commercial?) starts listing them for the same or better price but with earlier availability.

    Anyone who ordered on JB via ART - I have an order status link but it requires a login. No idea what credentials to use.

    Anyone know?

      Once registered on the ART main page I clicked on the 3 strip bar on the top side (from mobile phone) then I clicked on the JB commercial, once on JB Comm I search the Sony then go trough with check out - no need login / credentials to buy.

        I am not talking about buying though, I already did all that. This is an order tracking link that comes later, and requires a login.

          Login from your ART email that you received when you signed up.

          On your ART email click on ART logo, do the login and then go to the rewards, choose JB business, click on the unlock the offer, shop rewards, and then there you are on JB comm account.

            @MauTauAja: I already tried all that - this is fine for shopping but does not provide the required "JB Hifi" login and password and does not show the order status.

            There is a "Track my Order" button on JB's site but it does not accept the order ID in my JB email.

            Anyway, I already received tracking from Auspost for my order now so its probably a moot point.
