The speaker shares their updated EQ profile for the XM6, discusses the challenges in accurately measuring the headphone's performance due to its leak sensitivity and ANC inconsistencies, and compares it to other headphones like the Bose QC Ultra, Apple AirPods Max, and Sennheiser Momentum 4, among others, including both passive and high-end models.
