Great sound and feel
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The way they look and luxurious premium feel is top notch. The noise cancellation is out of this world. The downside is these cause a lot of sweat on the ear cups due to the material and ears get hot. Hopefully they end up selling replacement ear cups that are breathe able and don’t effect the sound.

Great headphones but a slight upgrade from XM5
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great just like the XM5 were but in my opinion I think the upgrade from the previous model tends to be good better battery, case and new folding cups and background feature.

Posted .Hello MessiIsTheGOAT, thanks for the fantastic review!
We are immensely pleased to hear you're enjoying the WH1000XM6 and noticing the improvements over the XM5. The better battery life, the redesigned case, folding earcups, and new background features –one more enhancement worth nothing is the updated noise cancelling processor, which takes ambient sound control to the next level.
Thanks for appreciating the effort we put on these headphones, and for choosing Sony!
Sincerely,
Jenn.

Posted .Hi ChrisP,
We are thrilled to hear you find the WH-1000XM6 headphones great and very comfortable! If you're looking for a boost in volume, please check the Sony Headphones Connect app to ensure the volume limiter is off. Additionally, confirm that the volume setting on your source device (phone, tablet, etc.) is maximized, as some apps or operating systems have their own volume caps. Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab
Solid headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones. Sound quality is good and ear cup padding is comfortable. Clamp force is slightly on the stronger side but not painful. Noise cancellation is great as well
I would recommend this to a friendGreat for travelers. Block all noise
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought Specifically to use on the plane for Noise Cancelling and watching movies and these work wonderful. It blocks off all sound and when needed, you can tap the headphones and hear so clearly. I actually amplifies the voices allowing you to hear people talking clearer than with out using them. If you are a frequent traveler then these will work wonders on the plaine/train

Posted .HI Reese,
This is an excellent summary of the WH-1000XM6's key benefits for travelers! We're delighted to hear that the superior Noise Canceling blocks all distractions for your movies, and that the Quick Attention Mode (when you tap the earcup) provides such clear, amplified voice awareness when you need it. They truly are designed to make your plane and train journeys wonderful.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

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.
I would recommend this to a friendSmart features disappointing.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First, the sound quality was excellent. I have never cared for over-emphasized bass of many popular headphones. These stay clear and distinctive, even in a crowded soundscape. The noise cancelation is excellent, even allowing me to lower the volume and listen at a quieter volume without outside noise at the gym drowning out the music. I ended up returning these for a couple of reasons. The smart features on these headphones are not as good as I am used to. My pixel buds have spoiled me for voice detection and auto-pausing, and sensing when I remove the earbuds. The Sonys would detect sound from outside as me speaking and pause randomly. Finally, I have an existing pair of noise canceling headphones which are not as good, but not better enough to justify a $500 purchase. If you have nothing else recent, this is a great place to start. I don't think you will be disappointed.

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.
