    Was a little disappointed. The headphones were ok quality, in the aspects that it just didn’t seem completely clear when listening to music; almost a muffled sound

      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,

      Hi KevinR,

      We are so happy to hear you're enjoying the upgrade! It’s great to know that moving from the XM4 directly to the WH-1000XM6 has been such a positive experience for you. We specifically brought back the foldable design and integrated the new QN3 processor to ensure these provide the best noise canceling and portability possible.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

    Distortion over bluetooth

    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.

      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.

      Hi MarcosR,

      We specifically engineered this model with long-distance travel in mind, ensuring that the noise-canceling technology can effectively silence cabin pressure and engine hum for extended periods. Knowing that the battery life held up through such a long journey while maintaining total comfort is a testament to our commitment to both stamina and ergonomic design. We are delighted that you could stay immersed in your audio from takeoff to landing without any interruptions.

      Thank you for making Sony part of your travel essentials.

    I bought this as a dedicated listening device for my new television as a curtesy to my neighbors with whom I share thin walls. Personally I prefer the sound from Apple air pods but they had a connecting problem with my tv. Also, the pressure from the Sony headphones is uncomfortable after about an hour of wearing the device. It is therefore, for me, a minimally satisfactory solution for my needs. Others, I am sure, will have more positive things to say about these headphones.

      Hi Displayname,

      We’re sorry to hear that the fit and sound profile aren’t meeting your expectations. For the comfort issue, we recommend adjusting the headband slider to ensure the earcups are centered over your ears, which can help redistribute the clamping pressure. Regarding the audio, you can use the "Equalizer" settings in the Sony | Headphones Connect app to customize the sound to better match the profile you prefer.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.
