Sony's WH-1000XM6 are my pick for the best premium headphones of 2025. When I reviewed them, I found they excelled in almost every category. But one way I think Sony could improve even these fantastic headphones (other than lowering the price), is by making them more user-friendly. When I was testing them, I couldn't figure out how to use their version of spatial audio, the immersive movie mode that makes it sound like the audio is coming from all around you.
