    Sound quality is amazing and the EQ settings they allow you to change is crazy compared to boses 3 setting EQ settings. The comfort is horrible, there is no padding and you can feel the ANC microphone in your ear at times.

      Hi JPLR,

      Thank you for your feedback! We are honored to hear you are enjoying the industry-leading EQ customization and sound quality of the WH-1000XM6. We aim to provide a superior audio experience, so we're glad that part is hitting the mark.

      We are sorry to hear about the discomfort you're experiencing. You should not be able to feel the internal components against your ears. To improve the fit and comfort, we recommend the following:

      1. Check Headband Adjustment: Ensure the headband is adjusted so the earcups sit centered over your ears. If the headband is too loose, the earcups may tilt, causing the internal hardware to make contact with your ear.

      2. Adjust Orientation: Adjust the orientation of the left and right units so that the earpads fit snugly all around your ears.

      We hope those recommendations help. For further details about wearing the headphones and maximizing comfort, please visit:

      Thank you for considering Sony!

    [Employee of bestbuy] Wasnt two fond of the xm5. But the xm6s addressed almost all of my concerns. Vocal clarity is fantastic but noise canceling may still be a bit better on the QC Ultra from bose

      Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback, Matt. We're glad to hear that the WH-1000XM6 addressed many of your concerns from the XM5, especially with noticeable improvements to vocal clarity. With the XM6, Sony introduced several enhancements such as updated noise cancelling algorithms, a faster processor (claimed to be 7x faster than previous generations), and additional microphones to further improve both noise cancellation and call quality.

      At the same time, we recognize your observation that the Bose QC Ultra may still have an edge in noise cancelling for certain environments, but the XM6 aims to provide even more robust and adaptive noise cancelling—though experience can vary depending on use case and personal preference.

      We truly value direct comparisons like yours, as they help drive future improvements. If there are specific scenarios where you feel the noise cancellation could be stronger, please let us know—Sony takes user input seriously in ongoing product development.
      Thank you again for being a valued Sony customer!
