Buying Advice:

• Good for upgrading: If you're using an XM4 or earlier model, or need stronger noise cancellation, better sound quality, and portability, the XM6 is worth considering as an upgrade option.
• Limited budget: If you already own the XM5 and are satisfied with its current performance, the improvements in the XM6 may not be significant enough to justify an immediate upgrade.
