      Hi AndyJ,

      Thank you for your feedback! We're thrilled to hear that the sound quality and noise isolation are meeting your expectations.

      Regarding the fit, the initial clamping force is designed to ensure a consistent acoustic seal for the best noise-canceling performance. You'll find that with regular use, the headband will naturally adjust and relax to the width of your head for a more personalized, comfortable fit.

      Thank you for choosing Sony!

    Compared to the last XM5 the ANC is undeniably better but not by much and it doesn’t justify it’s price. For someone like me who wants the best it isn’t a horrible idea but still a bad deal

    [Employee of bestbuy] Alright the noise canceling capabilities are unbelievable, the ambient mode sounds nearly completely natural, i heard a leaky faucet while in ambient with music playing, the don't sound so airy, the bass is solid and the new background music mode seems useful. The ai powered theater mode (spacial audio) seems hit & miss but isn't terrible.

    Solid Update from the XM4 as an EDC

    Been using this series of headphones since the XM3s and have seen great improvements since. Purchased the XM6s after having the XM4s for several years. Compared to that model, swift pairing has improved and makes it easy to switch between several devices. Love that this keeps the foldable quality like the XM4s and keeps a smaller profile. Only thing that is an issue is when used is that there are times that the tap control features can randomly be activated (voice assistant/pauses audio) via harsh wind or other factors due to sensitivity. Otherwise, this is a great pick up.

      Hi Letmesee,

      Thanks so much for being a loyal user of the 1000X series and for sharing your detailed feedback on the new WH1000XM6 headphones! It’s great to hear from someone with firsthand experience across multiple generations of the product.

      We're glad that the improvements in swift pairing and the continued focus on a portable, foldable design are making a difference for you.

      We appreciate your feedback on the touch control sensitivity! While it is designed to make the controls highly responsive, it can occasionally lead to these accidental activations. One thing you can try is adjusting the touch panel sensitivity in the Sony | Sound Connect app. You can also temporarily disable the touch controls entirely within the app if you're in a particularly windy environment or on a bicycle ride, for example.

      Thanks again for the great review and for choosing Sony!

      Sincerely,
      Jenn | Sony North America. sony-global

    [Employee of bestbuy] The Sony WH-1000XM6 continues Sony's reign at the top of the noise-canceling headphone market, serving as an iterative masterpiece that addresses the main critiques of its predecessor, the XM5. It is arguably the best all-around travel and productivity headphone available.

      Hi, KirkM!
      Thank you for taking the time to share your review.

      It is most rewarding to hear that you find the sound quality of your WH-1000XM6 to be very good overall.
      We appreciate your honesty regarding the price and performance.

      To get that exceptional sound you’re looking for, we recommend using the "Equalizer" settings in the Sony | Sound Connect app to manually boost the Clear Bass or adjust the highs to your liking.

      It’s a pleasure having you as a Sony customer!

    Moving to the XM6 from Bose QC35. The sound quality is way superior and the noise cancelling is absolutely amazing. Flew with the XM6 and it was honestly very good. They cancel out all the constant background noises but also human chatter. The ambient sound mode is exceptional as well! Walked around the airport with the headphones on in the ambient mode and could hear all the chatter around me very very clearly.

    To be honest, I thought I was done with Sony after the XM5s. They let me down in a lot of ways (sound quality and the hinge for starters). Then I started seeing leaks for the XM6 and I was like “okay one last try”. I’m very glad I did. These are bar none the best cans I’ve owned. I owned AirPods Max and sold them, had B&W Px7 and gave them away for poor noise cancelling. The XM6 finally achieved everything I was looking for in over-ear headphones

      Hi Tristan,

      It brings us great satisfaction to hear that the noise cancellation of your WH-1000XM6 is making your yard work so much more enjoyable by blocking out the engine noise. Since you use them while being active outdoors, we recommend regularly wiping down the ear pads with a soft, dry cloth to keep the materials in top condition after a long day of mowing.

      Thank you for choosing Sony to be your companion even during the toughest tasks!

      Hi AlvinA,

      Thank you for your review of the WH-1000XM6 headphones. We're happy to hear you find them comfortable and enjoy the great sound quality!

      Regarding the noise canceling, a proper seal is crucial for the best performance. We recommend checking the fit and ensuring the earcups fully enclose your ears without any gaps. For further optimization, you can use the Sony | Headphones Connect app to run the "NC Optimizer" function, which tailors the noise canceling to your specific head shape, hairstyle, and even whether you're wearing glasses.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

    The noise canceling is very impressive. The sound quality may be a bit behind some competitors. However, in my opinion, the whole package that you get from these headphones is unbeatable.
