Great sound quality. Terrible comfort
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony XM6 headphones have great ANC and I was very impressed by the sound quality once I tuned it to my liking via the Sony app. However, I had to return the XM6 because wearing them for any extended period of time was actually hurting my ears no matter how I adjusted the fitting. They have very thin padding and the ear cups are so shallow that my ears were pressing against the ANC mics in the headphones. If I pay more than $400 for a product I prefer that it doesn't inflict pain when I use it. I decided to replace the XM6 with the Bose QC Ultra which do not quite match the XM6 when it comes to sound quality but I can wear them without any discomfort which is a great plus!

We understand that comfort is a critical factor, especially for extended listening sessions, and it's disappointing to hear that the fit was not suitable for you. We are always working to improve our product designs, and we take all feedback, especially on comfort and ergonomics, very seriously.
While we're sad to see you return the XM6s, we're happy to hear you found a pair of headphones that you can wear comfortably.

Best Wireless Headphones for Most
|Posted .

Posted .Thank you for your thoughtful review and fair comparison, BenM. We appreciate your recognition of the WH-1000XM6 as an outstanding choice in its price segment. While brands like Bowers & Wilkins and Mark Levinson target the audiophile market, the WH-1000XM6 stands out by providing exceptional balance of industry-leading noise cancellation, sound quality, and smart features, all at a more accessible price point. For many listeners, the combination of comfort, advanced technology, and overall listening experience offered by the WH-1000XM6 makes it a standout option among premium wireless headphones.
Thanks for choosing Sony!

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.

Satisfactory, not outstanding.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as a dedicated listening device for my new television as a curtesy to my neighbors with whom I share thin walls. Personally I prefer the sound from Apple air pods but they had a connecting problem with my tv. Also, the pressure from the Sony headphones is uncomfortable after about an hour of wearing the device. It is therefore, for me, a minimally satisfactory solution for my needs. Others, I am sure, will have more positive things to say about these headphones.

Posted .Hi Displayname,
We’re sorry to hear that the fit and sound profile aren’t meeting your expectations. For the comfort issue, we recommend adjusting the headband slider to ensure the earcups are centered over your ears, which can help redistribute the clamping pressure. Regarding the audio, you can use the "Equalizer" settings in the Sony | Headphones Connect app to customize the sound to better match the profile you prefer.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Sounds are great, mic is not good.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound in these headphones are great. However, the mic, isn’t great. I have been on calls with people from my iPhone and I have had complaints about not hearing me at all and when I have connected it to my computer, people complained that I sound far away. Also it seems to cut off while on the phone it would switch over to the iPhone speaker on its own, without me doing anything. And I don’t what it is about those headphones, but they drain my iPhone battery so bad! I only listen to music on it mainly and by noon it’s already down to 65% after starting the morning around 9:30am at 100%. So despite the new mic system, I can’t recommend these.

Posted .Hi Nick,
Thanks for the review and the detailed explanation on the issues. We are very sorry to hear about the inconveniences encountered, and we will be more than glad to help you out.
For both computer and phone issues, a simple but effective step is to perform a reset or initialization of the headphones. This can resolve various connection and performance glitches by returning the headphones to their factory settings and clearing all pairing information. You can find more information and the steps on how to complete the troubleshooting steps on the following link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2984/v1/en/contents/TP1001856788.html
We hope this helps. In case the problem persists, we highly recommend reaching to our Technical Support team at: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones. They will be able to assist further.
Thanks for the patience, and for considering Sony products.

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.
