“I have a tendency to radiate heat. And usually leather headphones get my ears sweaty. How do these feel for long use? And what about walking around outside in the heat? Curious how breathable they are.”

Thank you for contacting Sony, Comfort. The Sony WH-1000XM6 features premium synthetic leather ear pads that are specifically engineered to create a secure, high-quality acoustic seal around your ears. This precise fit is a major reason why the headphones deliver such industry-leading Active Noise Cancellation. Because they are designed to form this airtight barrier to block out the world, they may naturally retain body heat over extended periods of time, which is something to keep in mind for long listening sessions or walks on hot days. Additionally, while these headphones are perfect for commutes, office environments, and travel, it is important to note that they are not officially rated for sweat or humidity resistance. We appreciate your interest in Sony products.
