Sony - WH-1000XM6- Noise Canceling great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The purpose of the purchase was to have headphones that could block out my surroundings and allow me to create an appropriate environment for studying, without the distraction of nearby conversations. These headphones do exactly that. I am still getting used to the level of silence they produce, but I believe they do fulfill their purpose.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat build quality and sound, not a bad first buy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was my first major purchase of a high end headphones this should be a 4 1/2 starts, the build quality is amazing I do not regret my purchase. The only thing i have to say is that the noise cancelling is very noticeable when entering in to different environments with different active noises; where you will suddenly hear the back ground noise at a higher volume than expected. Also make sure you try on the headset before you buy if you have large or protruding ears to make sure its conformable for you, I am noticing that this may have been an issue for me after a hour or two of wear.

The apple headphones killer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are way better than the apple. I tried using the apple but it just wasnt what i was looking for, these headphones got about 60 hour of battery, multi connections to devices that automatically connects to the devices your using (from pc, to phone, to ps5) theyre comfortable for small heads i belive they sell a bigger size but if you wear them too much they start to hurt. Only bad thing about it is that you gotta download an app to multi connect but there a lot of stuff you can do with the app like music will change the volume depending on where you are outside

I'm impressed
|Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Alright the noise canceling capabilities are unbelievable, the ambient mode sounds nearly completely natural, i heard a leaky faucet while in ambient with music playing, the don't sound so airy, the bass is solid and the new background music mode seems useful. The ai powered theater mode (spacial audio) seems hit & miss but isn't terrible.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat NC
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are my first over the ear NC headphones. I must say great start for me. The NC is phenomenal. I used it to take naps in a noisy hospital visit and the battery life was more then enough i got easily 8 hrs worth with some battery left. The top bar i feel can be a bit more comfy but i do have a pin head so maybe that was it. Besides that im always finding an excuse to wear them. If you want quality sound? Its there, but tbh there are better solutions for that. This one just checks off everything very well with NC bieng spectacular.

gotta love sony
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i may be biased because i'm a big sony product person but these sound crisp and the batterly life has been superb. i also really appreciate that they made the ear cuffs bendable in order to pack into the case again. the touch features on the headphones are so easy to use as well, i sometimes default to it when using other earphones.

Best headphones in a long time

I would recommend this to a friendTotally worth it!
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are my first high end over the ear headphones and i am so pleased with them! I need to figure out the touch control shortkeys became if my shoulder hits the ourside cup it stops, fwds, or rewinds what im listening to. So thats kind of annoying. But i never read the instructions until I dont figuring things out 'naturally'. Noise cancellation is top notch.

Good, but good isn't good enough
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros: calls are clear. Mic is excellent. Battery life is great. Easy to connect to phone. Transparency/awareness mode almost sounds like you're not wearing headphones at all. Neutral: ANC is fine. Hurts my head a bit. Sounds quality is fine. Not blown away. Turned on ldac and all the bells and whistles and can't find any significant improvement over my galaxy buds pro 3s. That said, my music streaming app is YouTube music so I'm not getting high bitrate or lossless audio. Cons: prolonged usage hurts. Wearing them for longer than 2 hours hurts. Maybe I'm just not used to over-the-ear headphones but the perimeter of my ear is in pain. I bought replacement cushions from wicked cushions which did help it go from 2 hours to 3 hours, but still hurts. I still haven't gotten used to how to fold them in order to put them in their case. It's been about 2 weeks now and I still have to be very mindful when I'm putting them away as there is only one right away to put them in the case. They feel so cheap. Yes they're light because they're plastic, but they're unmistakably plastic. Strangely flimsy plastic. Had to turn ldac off in order to maintain a stable audio connection. Otherwise it would cut out pretty often. The "hey headphones" gimmick is just a gimmick. On Galaxy buds I can just say next song, previous song, start music, stop music, volume up, volume down, etc. I don't have to start with hey headphones and then wait for them to acknowledge they heard me. The galaxy way makes it fairly easy to skip through 4 or 5 songs hands free while the Sony way makes me not want to use the feature. The touch controls are somewhat unreliable. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't.

Posted .Hi BojanD,
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback regarding your experience with the WH-1000XM6. We are pleased to hear that you are enjoying the call quality and the transparency mode, though we genuinely appreciate your honesty regarding the comfort, build feel, and touch controls. Please be assured that we will share your comments with our product team as we continuously look for ways to improve our headsets.
To help address the specific performance issues you mentioned, we recommend the following:
1. Improving Noise Canceling: To ensure the ANC is performing at its peak, please run the Auto NC Optimizer within the Sony Sound Connect app. This feature analyzes your wearing conditions and environmental factors to tailor the noise canceling specifically to you.
2. Touch Control Sensitivity: If the touch controls are not responding consistently, it may be due to a poor Bluetooth handshake. Please ensure your device remains within 10 meters (32.8 feet) of the headphones and that there are no major physical obstructions, as this helps the sensors communicate accurately.
3. Headset Storage: We understand that the folding mechanism has a learning curve. For a visual walkthrough on how to properly store the headphones without strain, please refer to our Help Guide: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2984/v1/en/contents/TP1001856874.html
If you would like personalized assistance to further customize your headphones or troubleshoot the connectivity issues, please reach out to our dedicated technical support team here: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones
Thank you for considering Sony!
