Amazing but Comfort Sacrifice
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Superb sound. My M3's lasted me 8 years with daily use, im hoping to get the same wear and tear out of this pair. My only issue is that the ear cups are smaller than the previous M-generation? and I dont like it, I have quite small ears. But I think the bigger ear cups are roomy and looser for all day use. Granted, these stay better on my head when im upside down in the gym. But other than that, they're barely too small. Ill keep them for the sound, but comfort has sadly sadly gone down for me.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your detailed and honest feedback, Lily!
We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the superb sound quality of your new WH-1000XM6 headphones! It’s also fantastic to know that your previous M3s lasted an impressive 8 years of daily use; that durability is exactly what we strive for, and we hope you get the same longevity from this pair.
We truly appreciate you detailing your experience with the ear cup size. We understand that changes to comfort, especially for all-day use, are critical, and we regret that the smaller size compared to the M-generation has slightly reduced your comfort level, despite the improved stability during activities like at the gym. We value this specific feedback immensely and will pass it directly to our design team, as maximizing both comfort and stability is a constant goal.
We are pleased you’ve decided to keep them for the excellent sound, and we thank you for bringing the comfort issue to our attention.
Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team

Sony Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best headphones I've ever purchased. Connects very easily to anything I've attempted to connect them with. Sound quality is great. The auto Noise Cancelling or Ambient depending on what you do is somewhat a game changer. Pretty cool pair of headphones. Pricey but you won't be disappointed.

We are so glad the WH-1000XM6 headphones are the best you've ever purchased. It's great to hear that the easy connectivity and "game-changing" Adaptive Sound Control—which automatically switches between Noise Cancelling and Ambient Sound based on your activity—are making such a positive impact on your listening.

Outstanding– perfect for work and entertainment
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love these headphones. The Sony WH-1000XM6 are hands down some of the best all-around headphones I’ve ever owned. The noise cancellation is incredible and has been a total game changer for work. Once I put them on, I can really lock in and focus without distractions, even in noisy environments. The sound quality is excellent across the board, but what really surprised me is the cinema mode. Watching movies with these feels immersive and rich, almost like a personal theater experience. Everything sounds clear, detailed, and balanced, whether it’s dialogue, music, or effects. They’re comfortable enough to wear for long periods, intuitive to use, and just feel premium in every way. From productivity to entertainment, these headphones deliver on all fronts. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-tier noise cancellation and amazing sound quality.

Excellent Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are comfortable and sound great. Allowing ambient noise actually amplifies background noise, but it helps to be able to hear yourself talk to not shout at people when using as a headset. They do an amazing job with background noise cancellation. To test my wife was yelling in the room near me and the people on the other end of a meetings call couldn’t hear her at all. However, rocking motions forward and back will result in the noise cancellation causing you to cut in and out. Normal movement is fine though. The magnetic carrying case is much nicer than the previous generations. I also appreciate the ability to feel the difference between the round power button and the oblong feature button. I’m not a fan of the touch controls on the right cup as sometimes they can be a little wonky, but they work way better than on my old XM4s. Overall I highly recommend these headphones and believe it would be hard to find a better pair when caring about sound quality and usage as a headset.

Nice sound quality and comfortable to wear
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super comfortable and good sound quality. I like that they brought back the folding feature. I just wish I could keep the ambient sound mode on instead of having it switch back to noise cancellation mode automatically.

Premium performance at a premium price
|Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.People are going to complain about the price and they are correct the price is substantial. With that said, they are hundred percent worth it. You get class leading noise canceling and comfort with very decent sound out of the box that can be tuned in the incredible app to be almost perfect for any listening preference. The included case is very well made, and the magnetic latch is genius because it allows easy and fast access to the headphones. The only problem I have is a nitpick, and that is the build quality is a slight downgrade when compared to other headphones like the bose qc ultra and sonos ace, but the xm6's still feel decent just not as premium. So, if you want the overall best everyday headphones, the xm6's are currently unmatched in the current headphone landscape.

Couldn't be happier!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These sound amazing! The fact that they're so light and carry a punchy sound make them even more awesome. I was going back and forth between this and the apple airpod Max's but they were too heavy and didn't have a deeper bass compared to the Sony's. I got them for my wife as I still use my XM4's. I can say sound wise it isn't a huge upgrade from the XM4's but they've upgraded the noise cancellation and the sidetone feature drastically. Solid buy nonetheless and my wife loves it which is the most important thing as a husband haha
