Great but not that great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is amazing as well as the noice cancellation. One issue I have seen with it are the ear cuffs get stained really easily and it is a hassle to wipe them every couple of uses.

Volume control issue
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.More comfortable than the AirPod Max, but less than the Bose equivalent. The volume control swipe is terrible. Wish they had a physical volume control.

Posted .Thank you for your feedback, Jake.
We are glad to hear that you find the wh1000xm6 more comfortable than the AirPods Max! We put a lot of focus on the weight and pressure distribution, so it’s great to know that is paying off for you.
We also appreciate your honest thoughts on the volume control swipe. We know that touch gestures can have a learning curve compared to physical buttons, and we value your preference for a more tactile volume control. Feedback like yours is essential as we continue to refine the user interface for our future models.
Thank you for choosing Sony and for sharing your experience!

Great ANC. Pretty flat audio. Bulky.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great ANC. Pretty flat audio. They are too bulky to comfortably Have them around your neck when not using them. I hear the hinges are weak, but I cannot speak to that as I didn't keep them long enough.

Posted .Hi TrashMetalPanda,
We feel privileged to know you were impressed with the great Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) performance of the WH-1000XM6 headphones!
We hear your feedback regarding the sound profile and the bulkiness when worn around the neck. We want to assure you that you can easily customize the sound to your preference using the Sony Headphones Connect app. The app features a robust Equalizer (EQ) that allows you to boost bass, enhance treble, or select from various presets to create a listening profile that suits your taste.
We also appreciate your note on the design for future consideration. Thank you for choosing Sony!

Best headphones of 2025
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best headphones I own. And that is saying something. I have plenty of $300 plus headphones. This is the latest and greatest from SONY. And it is worth the price. The theater setting via the app you download onto your phone makes a world of difference.

Distortion over bluetooth
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So, these headphones do have phenomenal noise canceling, but i have experienced some distortion over bluetooth. Otherwise they sound great over a wired connection. I dont know if its android, equalizer settings, or just a software issue, but its really kept me from fully enjoying these headphones.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi Chris,
Thanks for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear you're experiencing distortion with your new WH1000XM6 headphones. That's definitely not the listening experience we want you to have—especially since you've noted that they sound great with a wired connection.
Since you're hearing distortion specifically over Bluetooth, here are a few things to check that might help: In the Sony | Sound Connect app, go to Settings and look for a setting called Bluetooth Connection Quality. If it's set to "Prioritize Sound Quality (LDAC)," try switching it to Prioritize Stable Connection. You can reset the Headphones and Disable DSEE Extreme as well!
If the issue persists, feel free to reach out to our Sony Support team at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones
We hope this helps get your issue resolved.
Thanks for choosing Sony!
Sincerely,
Jenn | Sony North America.
Successful Road Trip with Twin Toddlers
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I enioyed my 19 hour car drive with 3 year old twins.

The great functions like the button press for noise cancelation, and swipe gestures on the earcup allow for easy use as a parent.
