Good but cannot wear it for longer period of time
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was delighted to receive the new Xm6, as its sound quality is exceptional. However, I encountered a significant issue when wearing it for extended periods. My ears began to experience considerable discomfort. Consequently, I decided to return the device.

Great headset. Not worth the price.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headset with a caveat. The noise cancelling is 100% set to the environment. Wearing for an extended period on a plane, for example, you will notice fluctuations in the noise cancelling frequency and it is quite unpleasant. Nothing you can do in the settings even when you specifically disable that toggle. Seems I’m in the minority here, though. Battery life is EXCELLENT. Its also nice to be able to connect to 2 devices at once. But these are not nearly worth the price.

Posted .Hi str8b8ed,
We're glad to hear you're enjoying the excellent battery life and multipoint connection on your WH-1000XM6 headphones. We apologize for the frustration with the noise-canceling fluctuations on the plane. This behavior is most often caused by the Adaptive Sound Control feature, which we recommend disabling in the Sony | Headphones Connect app to maintain a consistent noise-canceling level. If the issue persists, please ensure you have the latest firmware installed.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab

Great headphones, upgrade cautiously.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones are amazing. New ANC gets rid of its own white noise. Soundstage is good, but I miss Clear Bass. Remember if you're doing anything demanding with them (exercise or dirty work) get the black color.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi SupremePatron,
It's fantastic to hear you're loving the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones, especially the improved ANC that eliminates its own white noise, a significant upgrade! While the soundstage is good, it's understandable to miss the "Clear Bass" option from previous models, though the new 10-band EQ in the Sony Headphones Connect app offers ample flexibility to fine-tune the bass to your preference. Your practical advice about opting for the black color for demanding activities like exercise or dirty work is also wise, as the darker finish is generally more forgiving of smudges, sweat, and general wear than the silver.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
