Worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been using these Sony headphones for a while now, and I’m really impressed. The sound is clear and the bass is strong without being overwhelming. Noise cancellation works great, especially in public places. They’re very comfortable to wear for long hours, and the battery lasts much longer than I expected. Definitely worth the money!

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have experienced Sony MX4s and 5s. The 6s are different. As with both of tge other's, they each present " listening" from a different perspective. Not better or worse...just different. You have to choose the perspective that fitscyur taste.

Overpriced
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones feel a bit overpriced. Sound’s pretty good - clear with tweakable bass - but comfort’s not great, kinda snug compared to Bose that i used for a while. Noise cancellation rocks, and they’re portable, but I expected more for the price

Posted .Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with the WH-1000XM6, Alex. Your feedback is incredibly valuable and helps us improve.
We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the sound quality and finding the customizable bass and advanced noise cancellation features meeting your expectations. The portability is something many of our users love as well, and we’re happy that stands out for you.
We’re sorry to hear the fit isn’t as comfortable as you’d hoped, especially compared to your previous Bose headphones. The WH-1000XM6 uses new, softer synthetic leather and padding designed to improve comfort and acoustic isolation. However, we know fit and comfort are very personal, and some users might find the headband or earcups a bit snug out of the box. The padding can soften a bit over time, but if you continue experiencing discomfort, adjustable sliders and rotating earcups may help you find a more relaxed fit. If it doesn’t improve, our support team is happy to assist with tips or explore options.
Regarding price, we understand your expectations. The WH-1000XM6 is packed with the latest audio processing, adaptive sound controls, and industry-leading noise cancellation, but we recognize value is more than features—it’s about your overall experience. We’re always working to balance new technology and premium materials with the best value for our customers.
If you have specific feedback or ideas on how we could improve comfort or better meet your expectations, please share them with us. Your input directly shapes future updates and designs.
Thank you again for your insights and for being part of our community.

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So many great things about these headphones. Great noise cancellation. The transparent mode is on par with the air pods max. The background music feature is a great quality of life product.
I would recommend this to a friendMajor improvements!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These took everything I didn’t like about the XM5s and improved upon them. The hinge system feels very strong and I have not encountered any creaking. With the XM5s if I turned my head the seal around my ears would loosen enough to where outside noise would leak in, with these XM6s I have no issues moving my head around. I preferred the XM4s base but these do quite well over all. There seems to be a clear separation of the lows, mids and highs.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your fantastic feedback, Sammi!
We are absolutely thrilled to hear that the WH-1000XM6 headphones have improved upon the previous generation in the ways that matter most to you, especially addressing the comfort and seal.
It’s incredibly rewarding to know that you are finding the redesigned hinge system strong and that the improved acoustic seal maintains your quiet listening experience, even when moving your head. We worked hard on these refinements, and your detailed comparison is a great validation of those efforts.
We also appreciate your insightful comments on the sound quality. Hearing that you perceive a clear separation across the lows, mids, and highs confirms the detailed, balanced audio we strove to achieve. While the bass signature might be different from the XM4s, we're glad the overall audio performance still impresses.
Thank you again for choosing Sony's flagship headphones and for providing this excellent, comparative review!

The word for me is disappointed.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was excited when I saw that the M6 available. From reading and watching reviews everybody was saying oh yeah it's wonderful. 1. Well, the earcup did not fit my ears couldn't get it comfortable fit nor could I get the upper part quit to fit. Oh, it would go on my head and my ears, but I had to keep wiggling them, couldn't get comfortable. Oh and they also became warm/Hot. 2. The app was not intuitive. I never could get them adjusted for sound the way I like to hear it. Very disappointed. 3. I returned them!

Worth upgraded from 5s
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Much improved over the XM5s. I appreciate they partially fold, makes them feel more premium than those that fold completely and gives more functionality over those that don’t fold at all.
