    Amazing Features! Poor Comfort...

    I bought these headphones for airplane rides. The noise cancellation and sound quality is amazing. I love how they seemlessly connect to 2 devices at the same time. It automatically switches to the device is playing audio. The problem I have with this product is comfort. The headband applies too much pressure on top of my head and around my ears. It gave me a headache about 30 minutes into a flight. I do have the old XM2 headphones and the XM2 is more comfortable than these XM6. I will be returning these.

      Thank you for your feedback, EdwardLee.

      We are glad to hear you enjoyed the noise cancellation and seamless switching, but we are truly sorry to hear the WH-1000XM6 caused you discomfort. We aim for a perfect balance of performance and comfort, and we regret that the fit didn't work out for you as well as your previous XM2s did.

      Your feedback regarding the headband pressure is very valuable to our design team. We appreciate your long-term loyalty to Sony and hope we can find a better fit for you in the future.

      Hi Deeel,

      We are thrilled to hear you find the sound quality excellent and the Noise Cancellation effective enough that you "didn't listed the person in my side," which is the core performance we strive for, and we are glad the touch controls are working great for you. However, we sincerely apologize that the shallow ear cups are causing discomfort by allowing your ear to touch the internal cloth. We recommend that users experiencing this comfort issue consider looking for thicker, custom-depth replacement ear pads from specialized third-party accessory makers, which often resolves the depth problem while maintaining the impressive ANC performance you enjoy.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

    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.

      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.

      Hi TrashMetalPanda,

      We feel privileged to know you were impressed with the great Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) performance of the WH-1000XM6 headphones!

      We hear your feedback regarding the sound profile and the bulkiness when worn around the neck. We want to assure you that you can easily customize the sound to your preference using the Sony Headphones Connect app. The app features a robust Equalizer (EQ) that allows you to boost bass, enhance treble, or select from various presets to create a listening profile that suits your taste.

      We also appreciate your note on the design for future consideration. Thank you for choosing Sony!

      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. A key feature we're proud of in the WH-1000XM6 is the more efficient DSEE Extreme processor, which restores details lost during compression for a richer, more faithful audio experience.

      Thanks for choosing Sony, and have a wonderful day!
