Great ANC. Pretty flat audio. Bulky.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great ANC. Pretty flat audio. They are too bulky to comfortably Have them around your neck when not using them. I hear the hinges are weak, but I cannot speak to that as I didn't keep them long enough.

Posted .Hi TrashMetalPanda,
We feel privileged to know you were impressed with the great Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) performance of the WH-1000XM6 headphones!
We hear your feedback regarding the sound profile and the bulkiness when worn around the neck. We want to assure you that you can easily customize the sound to your preference using the Sony Headphones Connect app. The app features a robust Equalizer (EQ) that allows you to boost bass, enhance treble, or select from various presets to create a listening profile that suits your taste.
We also appreciate your note on the design for future consideration. Thank you for choosing Sony!

Dominick
Upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had the mx3 and loved them but wanted an upgrade. These work great, only downside for me is they are very tight and hurt after wearing a few hours

Posted .Hi JubileeG,
We're glad you upgraded from the WH-1000XM3! We're sorry to hear about the discomfort, as new headphones can have a firmer clamping force initially. This typically improves as they break in over time, but you may find relief by slightly extending the headband sliders. You can find more tips on achieving the best fit here: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2984/v1/en/contents/TP1001861255.html
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The quality of the feel and sound is great! Only thing I don’t like is the earcups. Not enough cushion and looks cheap, along with it not being able to get wet. Besides that I think the price should have been $100 less due to those

Extremely uncomfortable/ headband snapped.
|Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality, big upgrade from the xm5 noise cancellation is absolutely amazing. The fact that they can fold again. Sososo good. The case is beautiful. They are however awful to wear. The earcups are teeny tiny, and have protrusions inside them that can actually touch your ear if you have larger ears. The foam on the earculs is extremely thin as well, which helps with heat but not with comfort. The main issue with comfort though is the top headband. It literally doesnt feel like it has foam in it at all, i couldnt wear these headphones for more than like five minutes without them actually hurting. I took them off once and the hadband snapped up. I was able to snap it back in place , which was crazy to me, but from them oj it made a creaking sound. I returned these and went back to my xm5. The sound quality and anc upgrade isnt worth nkt bejng able to wear them. My advice is to go into the store and try them on. Spend some time wearing them at the display. See if they hurt your head.

Posted .Hi Rikku, we're genuinely sorry that the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones did not provide the comfort you required, despite the significant enhancements in sound quality, active noise cancellation (ANC), and the reintroduction of the foldable design. We understand that the small earcups, thin earcup foam, and particularly the discomfort from the headband made them unwearable for long-term use for you.
Your detailed feedback, including the issue with the headband snapping and creaking, is extremely valuable. We genuinely appreciate you taking the time to experience the product and provide such a thorough review. Your insights, especially the recommendation for potential customers to try them on in-store are crucial, and we'll definitely share your feedback with our development team for future improvements. We're happy you returned to the WH1000XM5 and are still enjoying the magnificent sound. Thank you for considering Sony! Best regards, -Dominick

Volume control issue
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.More comfortable than the AirPod Max, but less than the Bose equivalent. The volume control swipe is terrible. Wish they had a physical volume control.

Posted .Thank you for your feedback, Jake.
We are glad to hear that you find the wh1000xm6 more comfortable than the AirPods Max! We put a lot of focus on the weight and pressure distribution, so it’s great to know that is paying off for you.
We also appreciate your honest thoughts on the volume control swipe. We know that touch gestures can have a learning curve compared to physical buttons, and we value your preference for a more tactile volume control. Feedback like yours is essential as we continue to refine the user interface for our future models.
Thank you for choosing Sony and for sharing your experience!

Is good but need better design
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Has a excelent sound, noise cancelation i didn't listed the person in my side, the control for volume and changed sound is great. The confort is no good, the ear touch the cloth that come inside, need to be deeper, the ear cups are small and don't cover of the ear.

Posted .Hi Deeel,
We are thrilled to hear you find the sound quality excellent and the Noise Cancellation effective enough that you "didn't listed the person in my side," which is the core performance we strive for, and we are glad the touch controls are working great for you. However, we sincerely apologize that the shallow ear cups are causing discomfort by allowing your ear to touch the internal cloth. We recommend that users experiencing this comfort issue consider looking for thicker, custom-depth replacement ear pads from specialized third-party accessory makers, which often resolves the depth problem while maintaining the impressive ANC performance you enjoy.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
