QuestionDoes it have mute (microphone) button?
Asked 9 months ago by Alex.
This question was asked about the related product: Sony - WH-1000XM6- Best Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones - Midnight Blue
- Answer Hello Alex, Thank you for reaching out to Sony! We appreciate your inquiry and are happy to assist. Yes, the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones include a built-in microphone mute feature. You can mute or unmute the microphone by double-pressing the noise-canceling (NC) button on the headphones. This functionality is particularly useful during calls or virtual meetings, allowing you to quickly control your microphone without needing to interact with your connected device. To activate the headphones' microphone, launch the Sony Sound Connect app and go to the device settings. Under the system section, locate the option labeled "Enable the headphones microphone" and switch it to "on." Once the microphone is enabled, you can conveniently turn it on or off by quickly pressing the NC/AMB (Noise Canceling/Ambient Sound Mode) button twice.

QuestionDoes it have the physical buttons for volume up and down?
Asked 9 months ago by SleepyMalo408.
- Answer Hi SleepyMalo408, thank you for your inquiry! The WH-1000XM6 do not feature traditional physical buttons for volume control. The headphones features two dedicated physical buttons: one for powering ON/OFF and another for toggling between noise canceling and ambient sound modes. Additionally, it incorporates a touch sensor control panel on the right earcup, enabling to adjust the volume with simple swipe gestures for a more intuitive experience.

QuestionI like a headphone style for noise cancellation and I am an adult (70 years). But I have a small head and find that even headphones that are adjustable slide off or don't fit well. Are there size options for the SONY WH1000xM6 or a version for children?
Asked 9 months ago by smallheadlady.
- Answer Hi smallheadlady, thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience. We understand that finding the perfect fit for headphones, especially for those with smaller head sizes can sometimes be a challenge. The WH-1000XM6 and our WH-1000XM series in general, are designed with an adjustable headband to accommodate a wide range of adult head sizes. However, there isn't a specific 'small head' or children's version of these particular headphones. We highly recommend trying on at an authorized Sony retailer if possible. This will allow you to personally assess the fit and comfort for your head size and ensure it provides the secure feeling needed for the best experience. Please be assured that we value your feedback and will take it into consideration for future product releases. Thanks for considering Sony products! Best regards, Stephanie

Asked 2 months ago by jv2233.

QuestionDo these work with Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Apple Home like the XM5? What about Environmental Noise Control? Microphone Noise cancelling?
Asked 3 months ago by Charlie.
This question was asked about the related product: Sony - WH-1000XM6- Best Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones - Silver
- Answer Thank you for contacting Sony, Charlie. We can confirm that the WH-1000XM6 does integrate fully with popular smart assistants. You can activate Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, allowing you to control your music, get notifications, and perform other tasks hands-free. While the headphones do not directly integrate with the Apple Home ecosystem for device control, they pair seamlessly with Apple devices via Bluetooth. Regarding the microphone features, the WH-1000XM6 utilizes our advanced Precise Voice Pickup Technology. This technology uses multiple microphones and advanced audio signal processing to achieve both Environmental Noise Control (ENC) and Microphone Noise Cancelling. This ensures that your voice is isolated and crystal clear during calls, effectively suppressing background noise like wind, traffic, or office chatter for the person on the other end.
