Amazing Features, Below Average Sonic Performance
|Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones were a massive letdown. The soundstage feels super small and cramped, the mids are super weak, the bass is largely absent, and the treble does not stick out of the texture at all. And adjusting the EQ just makes things worse, like if I increase the treble it sticks out as it should but it sounds thin and strained. Increasing the bass overdrives it by quite a bit and it sounds boomy and like I’m listening underwater. I showed them to a few other of my audiophile friends and we all came to the same conclusion. My AirPods Pro 2 have a larger, more full soundstage. My Arctis Nova Pro Wireless’ (yes it is a very different headset) sound worlds more full and precise. Now, as the title says, the features are awesome. They are super comfortable, the battery is plenty big, the dual connections was super convenient, the swipes are intuitive and easy to use. But they just don’t sound good at all. If these were ~$150 then maybe, but for $450?? No way.

As with both of tge other's, they each present " listening" from a different perspective. Not better or worse...just different. You have to choose the perspective that fitscyur taste.

Worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been using these Sony headphones for a while now, and I’m really impressed. The sound is clear and the bass is strong without being overwhelming. Noise cancellation works great, especially in public places. They’re very comfortable to wear for long hours, and the battery lasts much longer than I expected. Definitely worth the money!

Overpriced
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

Posted .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.

I would recommend this to a friendThe word for me is disappointed.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was excited when I saw that the M6 available. From reading and watching reviews everybody was saying oh yeah it's wonderful. 1. Well, the earcup did not fit my ears couldn't get it comfortable fit nor could I get the upper part quit to fit. Oh, it would go on my head and my ears, but I had to keep wiggling them, couldn't get comfortable. Oh and they also became warm/Hot. 2. The app was not intuitive. I never could get them adjusted for sound the way I like to hear it. Very disappointed. 3. I returned them!
