Exceptional experience over QC35s.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Moving to the XM6 from Bose QC35. The sound quality is way superior and the noise cancelling is absolutely amazing. Flew with the XM6 and it was honestly very good. They cancel out all the constant background noises but also human chatter. The ambient sound mode is exceptional as well! Walked around the airport with the headphones on in the ambient mode and could hear all the chatter around me very very clearly.

Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones, as a busy mom of 3 who just started an online graduate program I love that I can use these headphones for class/group meetings & have the option to control the noise cancellation at my desire & not worry about sacrificing call quality. I also love the added silence I get at the end of my day when I have my much needed me time.

best noise canceling
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best noise canceling headphone out there, when this headphone was turned on with the noise canceling on it is like a sound dampening bubble around you. Great headphone

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.

great battery + sound, some manufacture defects
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these headphones and the battery life is amazing. Used it for 5 days without needing to charge. The noise cancel seems to be the same as the xm5 didn't notice much of a difference. The headphones can rotate so the cuffs are pointing in which is better than the xm5 because there were times when it would accidentally start tapping and playing a song or whatever. I like how they still give the option to use a jack if wired is your thing or you can't charge it but want to still use them. The issue's I've had seem to be more from the manufacturing. I had to return it after a week because the headphones had a consistent crackling sound and when I checked online I saw this was a common issue. The second pair i got I hear white noise occasionally which I was told are the microphones adjusting for noise cancelling. My second set also had issues with the different NC levels with the left side letting in more noise than the right. I've heard it's due to possible dust and debris which Is weird because I've only had this second pair for a week and kept it in the case. Might have to return this one too as I can't seem to fix the NC leaking on the left ear.

Posted .Hi MustaphaC,
Thanks so much for reaching out and sharing your experience with the WH-1000XM6 headphones.
We appreciate you sharing your thoughts on the new features. It's great to hear you're enjoying the improved swivel design and the flexible connectivity options. We're also glad the battery life is living up to your expectations!
However, we're really sorry to hear you've had so many issues. That's definitely not the experience we want for our customers.
For the white noise and noise-canceling issues, here are a few things we can try.
1. Restart your headphones.
2. Reset the headphones to factory settings. You can find the steps here: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2984/v1/en/contents/TP1001863305.html
3. Update the firmware: Make sure your headphones are running the latest firmware version through the Sony | Sound Connect app.
If none of those steps work and you're still having trouble, we strongly recommend you to contact our support team for assistance at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones
Thanks for considering Sony products and for your thoughtful input.
Sincerely,

|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.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I delayed buying a pair of over the ear headphones. I researched, I hemmed and hawed. I went in and tested. But, am I glad I got these. They sound great, the app makes customization relatively easy. Do yourselves the favor for a great audio experience and pick these up if you are in the market.
