    Great When They Work Correctly

    Beware potential buyers, the Sony xm6 headphones work great while not broken. Unfortunately they break way too easily. For reference, I have bought the previous 3 headphones in this series (xm4, xm5, xm6). All have broken within a year and a half, and these broke in 4 months. As some have mentioned, these headphones can get pretty warm, which can obviously lead to sweating a bit, especially in warm areas. In just 4 months, whenever it gets remotely hot out, or I sweat even a little, there is a crackling sound when using the noise cancelling in the right earpad. I've found out it was condensation building up in the headphones that caused it. Sony support is even worse. Their text support is nearly non-functional, with agents randomly ending chats, making it nearly impossible to get through one fully. Call support isn't much better, as I was told I would have to send the headphones in for them to "determine" if the pair was truly defective to get a new pair sent, a process that could "take 2-3 weeks" according to Sony support. I work from home, so having no sound for that long a time is not possible for me. Of course I could buy a cheap pair of stand in headphones, but the point is that a 450 dollar pair of headphones should last longer than 4 months. I've had similar issues with previous models as well. TLDR: Great when they work, but the fragility of these headphones make it hard to recommend for the price.

      Hello JoelB,

      Thank you for considering Sony products.

      We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced with the hinge mechanism on your WH-1000XM6 headphones. We understand how frustrating this can be after regular use. Please note that the warranty typically covers software malfunctions such as power, audio, and charging issues, but physical damage like this is unfortunately not covered, even if unintentional. We recommend checking with a local electronic repair center, as they may be able to assist in restoring your headphones.

We will also share your feedback with our dedicated team as we continue to improve our products.

      Hi JiayiQ,

      We are beyond pleased to hear that you are enjoying the sound quality and lightweight, comfortable design of your WH-1000XM6. To help you get the most out of your battery life, we recommend turning off the Speak-to-Chat feature or the Service Link function within the Sony Sound Connect app, as these can increase power consumption.

      Hi Bestbuyer,

      We are sorry to hear that the noise cancellation did not meet your expectations. To ensure you are getting the best performance, we recommend using the Sony | Headphones Connect app to run the "Adaptive Sound Control" and "Noise Canceling Optimizer," which tailors the silence to your specific environment and fit. Please also ensure the ear pads are creating a firm seal around your ears for maximum isolation.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.
