Good audio, bad durability
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think that the audio of this set of headphones is great along side with the noise canceling, however... i cant get behind the fact that the build quality is lacking. It feels like it can snap in half with a slight bend.

Amazing if your ears are small enough.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ANC is second to none. There is zero doubt about that. However, if you have slightly larger ears, these may be uncomfortable for you. There are multiple mic's inside the earcup that my ears pressed against making the headphones extremely uncomfortable to wear after only a few minutes. I hate to admit it but I returned them and went with the Bose QC Ultra 2 only because of the larger ear opening. The Bose ANC is not as good as the Sony, but I can ACTUALLY WEAR THEM.

Posted .Hi JJ85,
We appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed and honest feedback, even though the WH-1000XM6 headphones were not the right fit for you personally. We are delighted you found the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) to be second to none, as we constantly strive for industry-leading performance in that area. However, we sincerely regret that the earcup size caused discomfort due to pressure on the internal microphones. We take comfort issues seriously and will pass this specific note regarding larger ears and internal mic placement directly to our design and engineering teams for future product development.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

Overpriced
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones feel a bit overpriced. Sound’s pretty good - clear with tweakable bass - but comfort’s not great, kinda snug compared to Bose that i used for a while. Noise cancellation rocks, and they’re portable, but I expected more for the price

Posted .Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with the WH-1000XM6, Alex. Your feedback is incredibly valuable and helps us improve.
We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the sound quality and finding the customizable bass and advanced noise cancellation features meeting your expectations. The portability is something many of our users love as well, and we’re happy that stands out for you.
We’re sorry to hear the fit isn’t as comfortable as you’d hoped, especially compared to your previous Bose headphones. The WH-1000XM6 uses new, softer synthetic leather and padding designed to improve comfort and acoustic isolation. However, we know fit and comfort are very personal, and some users might find the headband or earcups a bit snug out of the box. The padding can soften a bit over time, but if you continue experiencing discomfort, adjustable sliders and rotating earcups may help you find a more relaxed fit. If it doesn’t improve, our support team is happy to assist with tips or explore options.
Regarding price, we understand your expectations. The WH-1000XM6 is packed with the latest audio processing, adaptive sound controls, and industry-leading noise cancellation, but we recognize value is more than features—it’s about your overall experience. We’re always working to balance new technology and premium materials with the best value for our customers.
If you have specific feedback or ideas on how we could improve comfort or better meet your expectations, please share them with us. Your input directly shapes future updates and designs.
Thank you again for your insights and for being part of our community.
