    I have owned two other generations of these headphones. These are by far the best. The case is super convenient and these are easier to move around when talking to colleagues in an office setting. I just have to keep a cloth to wipe these off because they’re very easy to get residue from your hands on them.

    Improvement over the xm5, still has app issues

    Excellent sound quality and interface, improvement over the build of the xm5 as a physical structure. App interface with the phone is a little bit more laggy than the previous iteration, this might get fixed with software updates, unclear.

      Hi NMoon,

      We are immensely pleased to hear that you are enjoying the excellent sound quality and the refined physical build of the new WH-1000XM6!

      Regarding the app performance you mentioned, we want to ensure your interface experience is as smooth as your listening. To resolve the lag you're seeing, we recommend clearing the cache within your phone's app settings. If that doesn't do the trick, a fresh start by uninstalling and then reinstalling the Sony | Headphones Connect app often resolves these types of software hiccups. This should help the app's responsiveness match the premium performance of the headphones themselves.

      Thank you for making Sony part of your daily listening.

      Best regards,
      Dominick Sony_US

    Much better than XM4 and XM5. However, it still feels cheap-ish and the color isn't what I expected. ANC is very decent, audio is great but not the best, though that's personal preference. Great battery life.

    Bought Specifically to use on the plane for Noise Cancelling and watching movies and these work wonderful. It blocks off all sound and when needed, you can tap the headphones and hear so clearly. I actually amplifies the voices allowing you to hear people talking clearer than with out using them. If you are a frequent traveler then these will work wonders on the plaine/train

    I've been looking for new headphones for a while, after always struggling to keep AirPods in my ears while traveling or at the gym. I tested Bose, Beats, and every other brand. But Sony has set the bar incredibly high with this model. Tuning into my music makes me feel like I am listening to the artist perform right in the studio. The quality and the noise cancellation are top tier. Would highly recommend to anyone!

      Hi ChrisP,

      We are thrilled to hear you find the WH-1000XM6 headphones great and very comfortable! If you're looking for a boost in volume, please check the Sony Headphones Connect app to ensure the volume limiter is off. Additionally, confirm that the volume setting on your source device (phone, tablet, etc.) is maximized, as some apps or operating systems have their own volume caps. Thanks for choosing Sony.

    A downgrade from the WH1000XM5s

    |
    |
    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    As purely a listening device, these sound great, no complaints here. However, the microphone quality has taken a huge nose-dive. Multiple people have reported that I sound like I'm deep underwater now. I'm not sure what's going on with them but never had any issue like this with the previous model. I never had to configure the previous one and I couldn't find any settings to improve the quality. Not everyone is going to use them for that so it might not be a deal-breaker for most and maybe it's something that can be addressed in later firmware, but right now if your intention is using these as a headset, look elsewhere. Another minor annoyance- one thing a lot of reviewers I've seen praise is how these fold unlike the WH1000XM5s- unfortunately I don't think this really adds anything to them and actually makes it a bit harder to put on!

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
