      Hi Shay,

      We’re glad to hear you’re finding the WH-1000XM6 to be a stable and secure fit! To address the volume levels, we recommend checking the "Sound" tab in the Sony | Sound Connect app to ensure the "Volume Liaison" or safety limiters aren't capping your output, and you can also use the equalizer to boost specific frequencies to your liking. Regarding the "gaps" in the ear cups and sweat exposure, please note that these headphones are not officially IP-rated for water or sweat resistance; we recommend wiping them down after use and ensuring a snug headband adjustment to maintain the best acoustic seal for the noise canceling to function optimally.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Best regards, Eliab Sony_US

    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.

      Hi AudioJack, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding the WH-1000XM6 headphones. 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.

      In addition to adjusting the equalizer settings, we recommend checking the fit of your headphones, as a snug fit can enhance bass perception. Additionally, ensuring that the headphones are fully charged can positively affect performance, as battery levels can influence sound quality.

      Thank you for considering Sony products and for your thoughtful input.

    Well it’s a Sony XM and I just upgraded from xm 3 to xm 6. My old one served me faithfully for years and it was no brainer to get this one. So far it’s been worth the upgrade. With BestBuy I managed to trade my old one in for some credit and I like that even after so many years of use I got credit for it.

      Hi JubileeG,

      We're glad you upgraded from the WH-1000XM3! We're sorry to hear about the discomfort, as new headphones can have a firmer clamping force initially. This typically improves as they break in over time, but you may find relief by slightly extending the headband sliders. You can find more tips on achieving the best fit here: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2984/v1/en/contents/TP1001861255.html
