Wanted to love, ended up returning

Posted .Thank you for sharing this thoughtful feedback on the WH-1000XM6, KFN3. We’re glad to hear you found the audio quality impressive, as delivering outstanding sound is a key goal for this series.
Regarding the concerns about comfort and ear pad heat retention: over-ear designs like the WH-1000XM6 are engineered to provide effective noise cancellation and immersive sound, which can sometimes result in warmer ear pads during extended use. User experiences with comfort can vary, and your comment is valuable for us as we continue to refine our design. We recommend taking short breaks during long listening sessions, which can help manage warmth and maintain comfort.
On the topic of touch controls, the WH-1000XM6 introduces advanced touch functionalities—including swipe and tap gestures—intended to offer intuitive control. We understand they may not suit all usage preferences, and your feedback is important for future improvements. If you encounter any reliability issues with these controls, please ensure your headset’s firmware is updated and consider customizing settings via the Headphones Connect app, which may improve the usability for your specific needs.
Your feedback will be shared with our product team for future development, as we are committed to enhancing both the listening experience and overall user comfort. Thanks for considering Sony.

Sony M6 headphones are fantastic ...but!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They were phenomenal...But (always a but) the connection to attach to external audio did not function properly. I connected wire on plane but could only get left side and subsequently I got no audio on plane or even when connected to job computer. No audio. Crazy but true. This happened May 24,2025 and upon returning to office post flight.

wh-1000xm4 still the best for DRUMMERS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had high hopes for these cans but just like the xm5's they disappointed me (from a drummer's standpoint). Too boomy on the lows when hitting the floor tom and other low end instruments. It looks like I'll be using my trusty old wh-1000xm4's for the next 3 years. If it wasn't $450 I might keep them around for other purposes, but the price alone is ridiculous, as is all the other brands.

Great, but worth $450? Eh.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great. Really great. I have the xm4 though and don’t see these as a big enough improvement to pay $450. I returned them and stuck with the xm4. If these were $300ish they would be a no brained

Posted .Thank you for sharing your honest thoughts and feedback about the WH-1000XM6, MeganB. We’re glad to hear you found them to be a great product, and we completely understand your perspective as a current WH-1000XM4 user considering the upgrade.
The WH-1000XM6 is designed to build on Sony’s premium sound quality and industry-leading noise cancellation. With each new generation, we work to incorporate both technological advancements and feedback from our users to enhance comfort, usability, and sound experience. Some improvements in the XM6 include even more advanced noise cancellation, crystal-clear calls, and refinements to the overall design for enhanced wearability and ease of use. We appreciate that for loyal XM4 users, these updates may not always feel significant enough for everyone to make the switch at a higher price point.
Your suggestion regarding pricing is very valuable, and we are always reviewing feedback to find the right balance of innovation and accessibility. We’re grateful for your loyalty to the XM4 and hope it continues to provide excellent performance for your needs. If you decide to try out future models, we hope to deliver features that offer even more value for you.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts—your voice truly helps shape the future of Sony headphones.

Great headphones but
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Headphones are great no complaints love the app that it is connected to. Does the job that it is intended to do, when I was on the plane the guy right behind me had a whole conversation and I could hear bits and pieces of it at time with volume on max during songs played. They do everything they say that they do
