I give 9/10 for the feature and sound.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comfort-wise, it was a little tight-fitting, but the sound quality is very good. You can change the codec and get better sound quality. Easy to use, and the touch feature is wonderful while working out. You don't have to constantly use your phone to skip songs or increase your music volume.

Good sound
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good quality item. The music sounds so good and the battery life is not too bad. I noticed a few days ago though, that some of my music that played well on it, are no longer working well. I did get a 2 year protection plan, so let's see how that goes in case I need their help.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback, IndT.
We are delighted to hear that you are enjoying the very good quality of your WH-1000XM6 headphones, particularly the clear music sound and the strong battery life!
We are, however, concerned to hear about the recent issue where some of your music is no longer playing well. This kind of audio skipping or intermittent sound can sometimes be related to Bluetooth connection quality settings, especially when transferring high-resolution audio.
We would like to help you resolve this right away so you don't need to use your protection plan for a minor issue. We recommend trying this quick fix in the Sony | Headphones Connect app:
Go to the Sound tab.
Find the setting for Bluetooth Connection Quality.
If it is currently set to Prioritize Sound Quality, please try changing it to Prioritize Stable Connection.
This simple change often resolves unexpected audio playback issues.
If this step does not fix the problem, please reach out to our support team directly at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones. Our specialists can guide you through other troubleshooting steps, such as performing a software update or a full reset.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and look forward to ensuring your listening experience is consistently excellent!

Amazing noise cancellation. And sound.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought them after seeing multiple reviews saying the noise cancellation was some of the best, it truly is. Before this I’ve been using AirPods, Beats Studio buds and Corsair headphones to try and drown out the noise of my busy household, but these almost make it feel like not a thing is around me. Not to mention the sound quality, I know all the other earbuds and headphones I used before weren’t anything great but these straight up made me stop using my earbuds when walking to the store or when on a long drive (passenger).
