Great headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fabulous headphones, I love the audio. I could wear these for 5 hours straight, and I feel completely okay. They're not heavy at all. The sound cancelling is the real deal. The battery life is incredible as well. The only issue is that the Bluetooth connection frequently interrupts, which can be annoying.

Posted .Hi Hippy,
We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you find the WH-1000XM6 headphones to be fabulous! It's fantastic that you love the audio, can wear them comfortably for hours thanks to their light weight, and agree that the sound canceling is the "real deal." The incredible battery life is also something we're very proud of.
We sincerely apologize for the annoying issue with the frequent Bluetooth connection interruptions. We want your listening experience to be seamless!
Please open the Sony | Headphones Connect app and navigate to the Sound tab. Under the Bluetooth Connection Quality setting, please select "Priority on Stable Connection." This adjusts the data rate to prioritize a rock-solid link over maximizing sound quality, which usually eliminates interruptions.
We hope this quick change allows you to enjoy your headphones!
Thank you for choosing Sony!

Sony XM6's
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good pair of headphones with great sound quality, I think they sound too muddy. I use a pair of air pods max and I feel like the sound quality doesn't compare unless you like a more bassy sound. Airpods have a more balance sound. Great build quality and very nice case. Simply wasn't for me.

Best in quality.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is awesome. The only problem is that you can’t use it for longer period. After an hour your ear starts paining. Easy to carry with a good case cover.

Posted .Hi Mohammad,
We are glad you enjoy the sound quality but apologize that the headphones cause discomfort after an hour. Discomfort is often resolved by adjusting the fit; please try gently repositioning the headband height and earcup angle to ensure the earpads sit lightly around your ears, reducing pressure points for better comfort during long listening sessions.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Posted .Hi EliS,
Thank you for your review! We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying the top-of-the-line sound quality and noise cancellation of the WH-1000XM6 headphones. We also appreciate your feedback on comfort, especially for glasses wearers.
For the most comfortable fit during long listening sessions, we recommend ensuring the headband is properly adjusted so the earcups sit snugly around your ears without putting too much pressure on your glasses' arms. Many users find that the clamping force and overall comfort improve over time with regular use.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Excellent sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall great sound quality i love that they brought back the folding mechanism. I have had some issues with my first headset that was making clicking noise from what im guessing was a broken speaker. My exchanged pair is working great so far. The battery in it lasts me all through the work week as well usually.

The Best for Trebles/ANC, But Bass Enjoyers Beware
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While the XM6s have technically superior active noise cancelling and definition on higher frequencies like trebles and mids, they lack the excellent, impactful bass of previous generations like the XM3 and XM4. Equalization efforts do not fix this. If bass is important to you, I would recommend checking out the previous generations instead (but avoiding the XM5s as their bass is also muddy and weak). If high frequency clarity or noise cancelling are most important to you instead, then the XM6s do perform better, but at a much steeper price tag.

Posted .Hi AudioJack, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding the WH-1000XM6 headphones. We sincerely apologize for any disappointment you’ve experienced with the bass performance compared to previous models. We appreciate your insights, as they help us improve our products and better serve our customers.
In addition to adjusting the equalizer settings, we recommend checking the fit of your headphones, as a snug fit can enhance bass perception. Additionally, ensuring that the headphones are fully charged can positively affect performance, as battery levels can influence sound quality.
Thank you for considering Sony products and for your thoughtful input.
