Headphones..
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been using them for a little under a year. The sound is good. The noise cancellation works extremely well. I recently developed a knocking noise in my left speaker and I’m working on getting that fixed but overall they’re a great set of headphones.

Massive upgrade
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Coming from XM2 which lasted 8 years, these had big shoes to fill. Happy to report the sound quality and ANC is a huge upgrade. The microphone for calls is improved but still not as good as airpods Max. With that said best noise cancelling headphones available.
I would recommend this to a friendSony Stands Tall!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall Sony XM6 stands equally besides Bose Ultra Headphones. Features of Sony indubitably beats the Bose apps, due to its robust equalizer, immersive sound, and a bit better noise cancelling technically. I would recommend Sony, if you like touch control features (though a bit finicky) at time than button controls in Bose.

great battery + sound, some manufacture defects
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these headphones and the battery life is amazing. Used it for 5 days without needing to charge. The noise cancel seems to be the same as the xm5 didn't notice much of a difference. The headphones can rotate so the cuffs are pointing in which is better than the xm5 because there were times when it would accidentally start tapping and playing a song or whatever. I like how they still give the option to use a jack if wired is your thing or you can't charge it but want to still use them. The issue's I've had seem to be more from the manufacturing. I had to return it after a week because the headphones had a consistent crackling sound and when I checked online I saw this was a common issue. The second pair i got I hear white noise occasionally which I was told are the microphones adjusting for noise cancelling. My second set also had issues with the different NC levels with the left side letting in more noise than the right. I've heard it's due to possible dust and debris which Is weird because I've only had this second pair for a week and kept it in the case. Might have to return this one too as I can't seem to fix the NC leaking on the left ear.

Posted .Hi MustaphaC,
Thanks so much for reaching out and sharing your experience with the WH-1000XM6 headphones.
We appreciate you sharing your thoughts on the new features. It's great to hear you're enjoying the improved swivel design and the flexible connectivity options. We're also glad the battery life is living up to your expectations!
However, we're really sorry to hear you've had so many issues. That's definitely not the experience we want for our customers.
For the white noise and noise-canceling issues, here are a few things we can try.
1. Restart your headphones.
2. Reset the headphones to factory settings. You can find the steps here: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2984/v1/en/contents/TP1001863305.html
3. Update the firmware: Make sure your headphones are running the latest firmware version through the Sony | Sound Connect app.
If none of those steps work and you're still having trouble, we strongly recommend you to contact our support team for assistance at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones
Thanks for considering Sony products and for your thoughtful input.
Sincerely,

Definetly a Best Buy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancellation on these headphones is really good. On my last flight I couldn't get them connected to my AirFly pro before the trip so I put my Airpod Pro's in and covered my ears with these. I could watch my film and actually hear what was being said over jet noise.

Great gift!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a great graduation gift for my girlfriend. She recently shifted from using her old AirPod Max headphones and much prefers these. However, she does complain about ear discomfort every now and then due to the ears designs. She’s still figuring out the sound settings but overall, it’s a good purchase! Perhaps, wait for a sale on these. They are too expensive.

Posted .Hi YAAY!
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us! We are delighted to hear that the WH-1000XM6 made such a wonderful graduation gift for your girlfriend.
To help with the occasional ear discomfort, we highly suggest adjusting the headband sliders to loosen the clamp force slightly, or exploring third party replacement earpads, which can offer a softer fit for sensitive ears.
We value your input. Thanks for choosing Sony.
Warm regards,

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Replaced my old over the ear headphones for the Sony 6. Perhaps it’s me but I think you should have the option to listen a little louder. But the background option is a great feature. And the case is perfect for on the go. Just snaps into place.
