These headphones are an amazing investment!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality of these headphones are amazing. I have not had one problem with them yet and the noise cancellation works great! They even have their own app that tells you everything you need to know about your headphones. I bring them with me wherever I go. I've also had them since November and have only had to charge them twice! I definitely recommend buying these! They're a great investment!

Best noise cancelling on the market
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones are incredible. The noise cancelling is better than ever, making them perfect for travel or focusing in a loud office. They are light and comfortable for hours of use, and the Midnight Blue color looks amazing. Sound quality is exceptional across all genres of music.

Great sound, some minor issues with Bluetooth uh
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really don’t have a lot to say about audio quality or the noise cancellation. Both are very good. I have a few issues that I wanted to mention. One is that I have to go into the Bluetooth settings, turn off Bluetooth, turn it back on, and then try to connect my headphones to my iPhone 17. I have to do this every time. The problem may be with my iPhone but I find this inconvenient. The second issue is with the case. A lot of of the reviewers online gave great reviews to the case. I would as well, but with one qualification. You have to fold the headphones exactly right or they won’t fit in the case. It takes some practice. The case is important to me because I use these for my commute on the train. I am putting them on and taking them off pretty frequently so the case is a big issue. Other than these issues I’m pretty happy so far.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your experience, KenS.
We’re glad to hear you’re happy with the audio and noise cancellation on your WH-1000XM6! We appreciate your honest feedback regarding the folding process for the case; it definitely has a specific "rhythm" to it, especially when you're on a busy commute.
Regarding that Bluetooth connection hurdle with your iPhone, we’d like to help smooth that out so you don't have to toggle settings every time.

Great pair of headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Such a great headphone. I upgraded from the WH-1000XM3 and wow. Not that I had any complaints with my old pair, but these are awesome. They're super comfortable and sound great. They also have a better EQ to control the sound with in app. The new case is pretty good too. I like the magnetic clasp instead of a zipper. These are great for listening to music, watching a movie, flying on a plane, or just blocking out most of your surroundings while working or studying.

Great Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones. Most comfortable and best sounding pair I have ever used. I wish you could control a few more settings with buttons on the headphones instead of only the app. If you want over the ear phones, these are an easy option to pick. Battery life is incredible.

Noise Cancelling Headphones

Best headphones I have ever used!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best headphones i have ever used (so far). Excellent sound quality and features. The one downside is the finish on these shows finger prints very easily, it is very annoying but not enough to affect my view of them. The battery life is incredible, i have them a lot and have only charged like twice.

Sony XM6
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Sony XM6 headphones and I love them. The noise cancellation is great, the sound is clear with strong bass, and the battery lasts all day. The only downside is that sometimes they randomly turn off even when they’re not dead.

Posted .Thank you for the fantastic review, GloriaM!
We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your new WH-1000XM6 is delivering the clear sound, strong bass, and top-tier noise cancellation you expect from Sony. It’s wonderful to know the battery life is keeping up with your daily routine! We are sorry to hear about the random power-offs, but this is often just a setting called "Automatic Power Off" that can be adjusted in the Sony | Headphones Connect app to keep them on even when they don't detect movement.
If that doesn't solve it, please reach out to us at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones so we can make sure your experience is 100% seamless. Thank you for choosing Sony!

The Best
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've tried all types of headphones, and these are the best when combining sound, comfort, and noise cancellation. The LDAC codec lets you listen to HD quality music with almost any Android phone. If you have an iPhone, there is a small adapter you can buy on Amazon from Questyle.

Posted .Hi DarylD,
It’s rewarding to hear that after testing various models, you have found our latest flagship headphones to be the ultimate benchmark for audio, comfort, and silence!
To achieve this level of performance, we integrated the all-new HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3, which operates seven times faster than its predecessor to optimize 12 individual microphones in real-time. This processing power ensures that our industry-leading noise cancellation adapts instantly to your environment, while the carbon fiber composite 30mm drivers deliver the studio-quality precision that audiophiles expect. We are also glad you mentioned the LDAC support; by allowing for a transmission rate of 990 kbps, we ensure that High-Resolution Audio is preserved wirelessly, giving you the richest possible soundscape regardless of your device.
Thank you for choosing Sony and for sharing your helpful setup tips with the community!

Dominick
