Posted .Hi MinalT,
Thanks so much for sharing your review with us!
It is most rewarding to hear that the WH-1000XM6 is providing the amazing sound and comfort you were looking for.
This model features our newly developed Ultra Soft Fit leather and a lighter headband design to ensure you can listen for hours without any pressure.

Perfect Fit, Perfect Sound, Perfect Headphones!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely incredible sound quality; I was not expecting a noticeable difference between the XM5 and XM6 in sound, nor the Bose Quiet Comfort, but it was immediate improvement in clarity on vocals for several tracks. While features like the Cinema mode don't really impress on music, it was certainly nice to watch a movie with, and latency was not a problem. The build quality feels significantly improved over previous Sony models and the carrying case with the magnetic clasp is also an improvement. The hardest pill to swallow on these is the price, but all other features and qualities considered, they feel justified.

Outstanding Noise Canceling with a Few Minor Trade

Perfect Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are an upgrade from my Bose Qc45 headphones which I liked. Every problem that I thought I would have was not there. I thought the touch controls would be annoying, but it really is not intrusive at all. I thought some of the gestures would feel like a gimmick, but I find myself using them regularly. The build quality seems really good. The sound quality is phenomenal. But most importantly, the noise cancelling is genuinely insane. I have tested it in so many places including a crowded, loud arcade and I genuinely could not hear a thing. I love these headphones and they are definitely worth the purchase.

Slightly overrated but overall great
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good after you customize eq to your liking but I must say it’s a little underwhelming anc wise like it’s good don’t get it twisted but not as insane as some people make it seem AirPods Max definitely beats it by quite a bit not being able to customize the anc like in past models also brings it down also the fit while comfortable some times can be crooked because of the way the hinges bend making it look crooked and off centered on your head sometimes which looks dumb if you catch it in the mirror but otherwise it’s good

Posted .Hi CobiD,
We’re glad the custom EQ is hitting the spot for you! The WH-1000XM6 uses an Auto NC Optimizer with our QN3 processor to adjust noise cancellation in real-time, though we understand the preference for more manual control like in previous models. If the new hinge design feels a bit off-center, a quick adjustment of the headband sliders usually helps secure a more balanced fit.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,

Amazing but Comfort Sacrifice
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Superb sound. My M3's lasted me 8 years with daily use, im hoping to get the same wear and tear out of this pair. My only issue is that the ear cups are smaller than the previous M-generation? and I dont like it, I have quite small ears. But I think the bigger ear cups are roomy and looser for all day use. Granted, these stay better on my head when im upside down in the gym. But other than that, they're barely too small. Ill keep them for the sound, but comfort has sadly sadly gone down for me.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your detailed and honest feedback, Lily!
We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the superb sound quality of your new WH-1000XM6 headphones! It’s also fantastic to know that your previous M3s lasted an impressive 8 years of daily use; that durability is exactly what we strive for, and we hope you get the same longevity from this pair.
We truly appreciate you detailing your experience with the ear cup size. We understand that changes to comfort, especially for all-day use, are critical, and we regret that the smaller size compared to the M-generation has slightly reduced your comfort level, despite the improved stability during activities like at the gym. We value this specific feedback immensely and will pass it directly to our design team, as maximizing both comfort and stability is a constant goal.
We are pleased you’ve decided to keep them for the excellent sound, and we thank you for bringing the comfort issue to our attention.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think. Perfect to use noise cancellation in office to do not hear colleagues talks Music is awesome, especially if a source is good/lossless. I slightly disappointed by the ios app because it has, IMHO, a lot of useless features. But if you use it inly for firmware updates - it is fine. I even don't want to try any other headphones had others before), this line is fully satisfied.
