      Thank you for the fantastic review, Unsure!

      We're thrilled that the WH-1000XM6 is hitting that "top-tier" mark for you and outperforming the competition in noise reduction. It’s great to hear they were a worthy upgrade after six years!

      Regarding the earpads, they do tend to soften up and conform to your fit after a week or two of regular use. We appreciate the feedback on the fit as well, as we're always looking to balance world-class ANC with long-term comfort.

      Thanks for choosing Sony for your upgrade!

      It brings us great joy to hear that your WH-1000XM6 provides the high end sound and comfort you need for travel and workouts.

      This model includes Speak-to-Chat technology, which automatically pauses your music when you start a conversation and a refined, lightweight headband that reduces pressure for those extralong listening sessions.

      Hi Shay,

      We’re glad to hear you’re finding the WH-1000XM6 to be a stable and secure fit! To address the volume levels, we recommend checking the "Sound" tab in the Sony | Sound Connect app to ensure the "Volume Liaison" or safety limiters aren't capping your output, and you can also use the equalizer to boost specific frequencies to your liking. Regarding the "gaps" in the ear cups and sweat exposure, please note that these headphones are not officially IP-rated for water or sweat resistance; we recommend wiping them down after use and ensuring a snug headband adjustment to maintain the best acoustic seal for the noise canceling to function optimally.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Hi RobR,

      We couldn't be happier to hear that you find the sound and fit great and that the noise canceling is amazing! We engineered the WH-1000XM6 headphones to deliver a truly immersive and premium audio experience, and we appreciate your feedback on these core features.

      We also appreciate you providing the helpful note regarding sweating while wearing them—that is useful information for other customers who plan to use them during rigorous activity.

      Enjoy the silence and the music!

      Thank you for trusting Sony.

    The headphones feel a bit overpriced. Sound’s pretty good - clear with tweakable bass - but comfort’s not great, kinda snug compared to Bose that i used for a while. Noise cancellation rocks, and they’re portable, but I expected more for the price

      Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with the WH-1000XM6, Alex. Your feedback is incredibly valuable and helps us improve.

      We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the sound quality and finding the customizable bass and advanced noise cancellation features meeting your expectations. The portability is something many of our users love as well, and we’re happy that stands out for you.

      We’re sorry to hear the fit isn’t as comfortable as you’d hoped, especially compared to your previous Bose headphones. The WH-1000XM6 uses new, softer synthetic leather and padding designed to improve comfort and acoustic isolation. However, we know fit and comfort are very personal, and some users might find the headband or earcups a bit snug out of the box. The padding can soften a bit over time, but if you continue experiencing discomfort, adjustable sliders and rotating earcups may help you find a more relaxed fit. If it doesn’t improve, our support team is happy to assist with tips or explore options.

      Regarding price, we understand your expectations. The WH-1000XM6 is packed with the latest audio processing, adaptive sound controls, and industry-leading noise cancellation, but we recognize value is more than features—it’s about your overall experience. We’re always working to balance new technology and premium materials with the best value for our customers.

      If you have specific feedback or ideas on how we could improve comfort or better meet your expectations, please share them with us. Your input directly shapes future updates and designs.

      Thank you again for your insights and for being part of our community.

      Best regards,
      Gus

    Much improved over the XM5s. I appreciate they partially fold, makes them feel more premium than those that fold completely and gives more functionality over those that don’t fold at all.

    Well it’s a Sony XM and I just upgraded from xm 3 to xm 6. My old one served me faithfully for years and it was no brainer to get this one. So far it’s been worth the upgrade. With BestBuy I managed to trade my old one in for some credit and I like that even after so many years of use I got credit for it.
