Customer Ratings & Reviews

Hello SeanF,
Thanks for reaching out to us about your WH-1000XM6 headphones. We're genuinely sorry to hear that you're finding them insanely uncomfortable even after months of daily use. That's definitely not the experience we want you to have.

We recommend you take a moment to review the official Sony Help Guide on how to properly wear the headset. Sometimes a very slight, specific adjustment can completely relieve pressure points.

Hi JosephR,

Thanks for that fantastic 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear that you feel the WH-1000XM6 headphones surpass other brands you've used.

The HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1 and Integrated Processor V1, working with eight microphones, are what deliver that truly immersive, distraction-free listening experience you're praising. We're also glad the setup was easy with the app!

Thanks for choosing Sony, and have a wonderful day!

Hi John,

Thanks for sharing your experience as a long-time Sony WH series user!

It's incredibly rewarding to hear that the XM6 headphones are solving past issues and that you find them to be the best out there, even surpassing the XM5s. We're always striving to innovate, and your feedback confirms our efforts.

Thanks for continue choosing Sony!

Sincerely,

Thank you for sharing this thoughtful feedback on the WH-1000XM6, KFN3. We’re glad to hear you found the audio quality impressive, as delivering outstanding sound is a key goal for this series.

Regarding the concerns about comfort and ear pad heat retention: over-ear designs like the WH-1000XM6 are engineered to provide effective noise cancellation and immersive sound, which can sometimes result in warmer ear pads during extended use. User experiences with comfort can vary, and your comment is valuable for us as we continue to refine our design. We recommend taking short breaks during long listening sessions, which can help manage warmth and maintain comfort.

On the topic of touch controls, the WH-1000XM6 introduces advanced touch functionalities—including swipe and tap gestures—intended to offer intuitive control. We understand they may not suit all usage preferences, and your feedback is important for future improvements. If you encounter any reliability issues with these controls, please ensure your headset’s firmware is updated and consider customizing settings via the Headphones Connect app, which may improve the usability for your specific needs.

Your feedback will be shared with our product team for future development, as we are committed to enhancing both the listening experience and overall user comfort. Thanks for considering Sony.

Best regards,
Gus

We are so glad to hear that your WH-1000XM6 headphones are really packing a punch for you!
