Great sound, but…
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Christmas present. Daughter said sound was amazing and the ability to adjust overall sound was great. She like how the headphone controls work and the seamless integration with all her devices. Downside - because of how the headphones fold , they would not stay “square” on her head. They had a tendency to “twist” while she was wearing them which she found very annoying. Eventually returned & got Bose QV Ultra 2nd Fen.

Improvement over the xm5, still has app issues
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound quality and interface, improvement over the build of the xm5 as a physical structure. App interface with the phone is a little bit more laggy than the previous iteration, this might get fixed with software updates, unclear.

Posted .Hi NMoon,
We are immensely pleased to hear that you are enjoying the excellent sound quality and the refined physical build of the new WH-1000XM6!
Regarding the app performance you mentioned, we want to ensure your interface experience is as smooth as your listening. To resolve the lag you're seeing, we recommend clearing the cache within your phone's app settings. If that doesn't do the trick, a fresh start by uninstalling and then reinstalling the Sony | Headphones Connect app often resolves these types of software hiccups. This should help the app's responsiveness match the premium performance of the headphones themselves.
Thank you for making Sony part of your daily listening.
Best regards,
Dominick

Better
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Much better than XM4 and XM5. However, it still feels cheap-ish and the color isn't what I expected. ANC is very decent, audio is great but not the best, though that's personal preference. Great battery life.

These are awesome!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned two other generations of these headphones. These are by far the best. The case is super convenient and these are easier to move around when talking to colleagues in an office setting. I just have to keep a cloth to wipe these off because they’re very easy to get residue from your hands on them.

Great for travelers. Block all noise
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought Specifically to use on the plane for Noise Cancelling and watching movies and these work wonderful. It blocks off all sound and when needed, you can tap the headphones and hear so clearly. I actually amplifies the voices allowing you to hear people talking clearer than with out using them. If you are a frequent traveler then these will work wonders on the plaine/train

A downgrade from the WH1000XM5s
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As purely a listening device, these sound great, no complaints here. However, the microphone quality has taken a huge nose-dive. Multiple people have reported that I sound like I'm deep underwater now. I'm not sure what's going on with them but never had any issue like this with the previous model. I never had to configure the previous one and I couldn't find any settings to improve the quality. Not everyone is going to use them for that so it might not be a deal-breaker for most and maybe it's something that can be addressed in later firmware, but right now if your intention is using these as a headset, look elsewhere. Another minor annoyance- one thing a lot of reviewers I've seen praise is how these fold unlike the WH1000XM5s- unfortunately I don't think this really adds anything to them and actually makes it a bit harder to put on!
