Great for active noise canceling and MS Teams!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works perfect. ANC is amazing. Took a little bit to set up the drivers correctly on my computer to get it to work with teams. Would recommend to anyone. Comfortable for long term wearing.

Great audio quality and noise cancellation
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The audio quality is great and the noise cancellation is very nice. I like how you can connect it to audio devices at one time. So now I have it connected to my TV and my phone and it's super convenient. There are a lot of Sony oriented features with the app, haven't got to use very much of them but they seem convenient.

Overall excellent
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony headphones always have excellent sound quality, plus ANC. To be fair I miss the design of the XM4s more but this is completely my own bias and may not be applicable to all people.

Posted .Hello Victor,
Thank you for your review of the WH1000XM6 headphones. We are glad to hear that you are enjoying the excellent sound quality and Active Noise Cancellation (ANC).
We appreciate your feedback on the design. Your personal preference is valuable to us, and we're always working to innovate while considering our customers' feedback.

Amazing Features, Below Average Sonic Performance
|Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones were a massive letdown. The soundstage feels super small and cramped, the mids are super weak, the bass is largely absent, and the treble does not stick out of the texture at all. And adjusting the EQ just makes things worse, like if I increase the treble it sticks out as it should but it sounds thin and strained. Increasing the bass overdrives it by quite a bit and it sounds boomy and like I’m listening underwater. I showed them to a few other of my audiophile friends and we all came to the same conclusion. My AirPods Pro 2 have a larger, more full soundstage. My Arctis Nova Pro Wireless’ (yes it is a very different headset) sound worlds more full and precise. Now, as the title says, the features are awesome. They are super comfortable, the battery is plenty big, the dual connections was super convenient, the swipes are intuitive and easy to use. But they just don’t sound good at all. If these were ~$150 then maybe, but for $450?? No way.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far I've been extremely impresses. The sound quality is great, and the noise cancelling tech works better than anything I've seen before. I also love how easy it is to switch b/w devices and all the other customization options you get with the app. The only downsides for me: 1. The volume adjustment increments on the touch pad are way to low. It feels like each swipe is only moving volume up or down 1% and it takes 30-40 swipes to go from 50% to max. Very frustrating, please fix! Or give us the option to adjust. 2. The headphones are very comfortable, but also get very hot since they don't breath at all. I guess this is a consequence of the the noise insulation required.

Posted .Hi Grumpy,
Thank you for the excellent feedback on the WH-1000XM6 headphones! We're thrilled you're impressed with the sound quality and noise canceling. We appreciate you sharing your experience.
We understand your frustration with the volume control. While the current design is for precise adjustments, you can increase or decrease the volume more quickly by swiping and holding your finger on the touch panel. Your feedback about both the volume and the warmth of the earcups will be passed on to our product team for future consideration.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Awesome upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent noise reduction and sound is top tier. Pads are a lil hard need to soften up. Great upgrade to 6 yr old model. Had tried the Bose Ultras and ANC is alot better but not the fit

Posted .Thank you for the fantastic review, Unsure!
We're thrilled that the WH-1000XM6 is hitting that "top-tier" mark for you and outperforming the competition in noise reduction. It’s great to hear they were a worthy upgrade after six years!
Regarding the earpads, they do tend to soften up and conform to your fit after a week or two of regular use. We appreciate the feedback on the fit as well, as we're always looking to balance world-class ANC with long-term comfort.
Thanks for choosing Sony for your upgrade!

No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi Shay,
We’re glad to hear you’re finding the WH-1000XM6 to be a stable and secure fit! To address the volume levels, we recommend checking the "Sound" tab in the Sony | Sound Connect app to ensure the "Volume Liaison" or safety limiters aren't capping your output, and you can also use the equalizer to boost specific frequencies to your liking. Regarding the "gaps" in the ear cups and sweat exposure, please note that these headphones are not officially IP-rated for water or sweat resistance; we recommend wiping them down after use and ensuring a snug headband adjustment to maintain the best acoustic seal for the noise canceling to function optimally.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
