Great for music not so much for calls.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its great for music, not a great microphone for calls. The other person on the other end can't here you that well you have to keep repeating yourself and sound distortes or muffled. I think it could be bluetooth connection interference since i live in an apartment.

Headphone Review

Posted .Hi CHUD!
Thanks so much for your review of the WH-1000XM6.
Regarding the email and text alerts, those are actually controlled by your iPhone's "Announce Notifications" feature rather than the headphones themselves. You can easily turn this off by going to your iPhone Settings and toggling it off.
Thanks for choosing Sony!

Buy WH-1000XM5, WH-1000XM6 is terrible
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wish I stayed with my WH-1000XM5 replacement. My WH-1000XM5 started to make a high pitch noise. I had the option to replace it with a new WH-1000XM5 or pay the difference and upgrade to WH-1000XM6. I upgraded. The sound in WH-1000XM6 is terrible compared to WH-1000XM5. Also, the microphone is terrible, sounds like a toy mic. Plus, the headphone continually shuts down without me doing anything. Could I have a defective headphone?

Posted .Hi OccasionalBuyer,
We are sorry to hear that your experience with the WH-1000XM6 has not met your expectations, especially after moving from the XM5. The issues you described—poor sound quality, a "toy-like" microphone, and random shutdowns—are certainly not typical of this model, which features an upgraded QN3 processor and 12-microphone system for improved clarity. We recommend disabling the "Automatic Power Off" setting in the Sony Sound Connect app to address the shutdowns and performing a factory reset (holding the power and noise-canceling buttons for 10 seconds) to resolve potential software glitches affecting the audio; however, if the issues persist, it is very likely you have a defective unit and we encourage you to utilize your warranty for a replacement. Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

Uncomfortable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They sound great but they're insanely uncomfortable. After about an hour the oressure on my ears becomes unbearable. I don't know who they designed these for, but clearly they didn't have human adult heads in mind. People say they loosen up over time but I've been using them daily for months and they still put way too much pressure on my ears. Way overpriced for such a lack of ergonomics.

Posted .Hello SeanF,
Thanks for reaching out to us about your WH-1000XM6 headphones. We're genuinely sorry to hear that you're finding them insanely uncomfortable even after months of daily use. That's definitely not the experience we want you to have.
We recommend you take a moment to review the official Sony Help Guide on how to properly wear the headset. Sometimes a very slight, specific adjustment can completely relieve pressure points.
