Even better than XM5's
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.XM6's build upon all of the greatness of the XM5 but does it better. Noise cancelling seems better, the new cafe feature is great and they feel like an overall firmer clamping pressure for better seal. Best feature is the ability to now fold them for better storage and transportation, though, they can be a bit difficult to make them fit in their case, a little extra room may have been nice.

Supr lightweight and amazing sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones are super light and extremely easy to move around in. Still dont know if they are okay with sweat but havent had any problems so far. The noise cancelling is also amazing, i took it on a couple planes and it almost conpletely drowns out the engine noise. I cant even hear people having conversations right next to me. These headphones also have expcetional sony sound quality. They are just overall amazing.

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the noise canceling and it comfortable I do recommend to get a case for headphones if you don’t like oil or finger prints stain since it a matte finish it’s does get oil/finger print stain easily but beside that it amazing. I love it ! Especially when I try to mute the outside noise with music or tone down loud noise in my surroundings

Excellent sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall great sound quality i love that they brought back the folding mechanism. I have had some issues with my first headset that was making clicking noise from what im guessing was a broken speaker. My exchanged pair is working great so far. The battery in it lasts me all through the work week as well usually.

Slightly overrated but overall great
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good after you customize eq to your liking but I must say it’s a little underwhelming anc wise like it’s good don’t get it twisted but not as insane as some people make it seem AirPods Max definitely beats it by quite a bit not being able to customize the anc like in past models also brings it down also the fit while comfortable some times can be crooked because of the way the hinges bend making it look crooked and off centered on your head sometimes which looks dumb if you catch it in the mirror but otherwise it’s good
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi CobiD,
We’re glad the custom EQ is hitting the spot for you! The WH-1000XM6 uses an Auto NC Optimizer with our QN3 processor to adjust noise cancellation in real-time, though we understand the preference for more manual control like in previous models. If the new hinge design feels a bit off-center, a quick adjustment of the headband sliders usually helps secure a more balanced fit.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

XM6 really good for me
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgrade from the XM4, it’s been great so far, comfortable enough, and sounds great. Only some minor issues. It’s not as comfort as my Bose quietcomfort ultra. It would also be nice to be able to adjust the ambient sound level. Connect to multiple devices works well, but I am still looking for the options not to start music when connected to my iPhone. That’s kind of annoying. Nothing is perfect but it’s very very nice.

Best in quality.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is awesome. The only problem is that you can’t use it for longer period. After an hour your ear starts paining. Easy to carry with a good case cover.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi Mohammad,
We are glad you enjoy the sound quality but apologize that the headphones cause discomfort after an hour. Discomfort is often resolved by adjusting the fit; please try gently repositioning the headband height and earcup angle to ensure the earpads sit lightly around your ears, reducing pressure points for better comfort during long listening sessions.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab
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.

Best value, Top tier quality, Unique features
|Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is top notch. Noise cancelling and ambient sound (transparency mode) has improved significantly from the previous model. They're very comfortable, travel case is unique with the magnetic locking mechanism, and the customizable EQ is awesome! Lastly, they work great as a Playstation headset but an external mic would be required.
