Sounds amazing, however, the microphone wont work
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are good headphones in terms of sound quality and noise cancelation. That said, I've had several issues with the microphone not working even after doing a factory reset and firmware updates. I'll be taking them back in hopes of getting them resolved. For the money, I'd take a chance on something else.

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.

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!

Posted .Hi LisaS,
We’re sorry to hear the audio sounds muffled! To improve clarity, we recommend using the Sony | Sound Connect app to set your Bluetooth Connection Quality to "Prioritize Sound Quality" and enabling DSEE Extreme to restore high-end detail. You can also use the Equalizer presets, like "Bright," to sharpen the vocals and reduce any heaviness in the bass.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,

Great for music not so much for calls.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its great for music, not a great microphone for calls. The other person on the other end can't here you that well you have to keep repeating yourself and sound distortes or muffled. I think it could be bluetooth connection interference since i live in an apartment.
