Posted .Hi EliS,
Thank you for your review! We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying the top-of-the-line sound quality and noise cancellation of the WH-1000XM6 headphones. We also appreciate your feedback on comfort, especially for glasses wearers.
For the most comfortable fit during long listening sessions, we recommend ensuring the headband is properly adjusted so the earcups sit snugly around your ears without putting too much pressure on your glasses' arms. Many users find that the clamping force and overall comfort improve over time with regular use.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab

The Best for Trebles/ANC, But Bass Enjoyers Beware
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While the XM6s have technically superior active noise cancelling and definition on higher frequencies like trebles and mids, they lack the excellent, impactful bass of previous generations like the XM3 and XM4. Equalization efforts do not fix this. If bass is important to you, I would recommend checking out the previous generations instead (but avoiding the XM5s as their bass is also muddy and weak). If high frequency clarity or noise cancelling are most important to you instead, then the XM6s do perform better, but at a much steeper price tag.

We sincerely apologize for any disappointment you’ve experienced with the bass performance compared to previous models. We appreciate your insights, as they help us improve our products and better serve our customers.

Excellent sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall great sound quality i love that they brought back the folding mechanism. I have had some issues with my first headset that was making clicking noise from what im guessing was a broken speaker. My exchanged pair is working great so far. The battery in it lasts me all through the work week as well usually.

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
