Sounds are great, mic is not good.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound in these headphones are great. However, the mic, isn’t great. I have been on calls with people from my iPhone and I have had complaints about not hearing me at all and when I have connected it to my computer, people complained that I sound far away. Also it seems to cut off while on the phone it would switch over to the iPhone speaker on its own, without me doing anything. And I don’t what it is about those headphones, but they drain my iPhone battery so bad! I only listen to music on it mainly and by noon it’s already down to 65% after starting the morning around 9:30am at 100%. So despite the new mic system, I can’t recommend these.

Posted .Hi Nick,
Thanks for the review and the detailed explanation on the issues. We are very sorry to hear about the inconveniences encountered, and we will be more than glad to help you out.
For both computer and phone issues, a simple but effective step is to perform a reset or initialization of the headphones.

You can find more information and the steps on how to complete the troubleshooting steps on the following link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2984/v1/en/contents/TP1001856788.html
We hope this helps. In case the problem persists, we highly recommend reaching to our Technical Support team at: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones. They will be able to assist further.
Thanks for the patience, and for considering Sony products.

Uncomfortable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They sound great but they're insanely uncomfortable. After about an hour the oressure on my ears becomes unbearable. I don't know who they designed these for, but clearly they didn't have human adult heads in mind. People say they loosen up over time but I've been using them daily for months and they still put way too much pressure on my ears. Way overpriced for such a lack of ergonomics.

Posted .Hello SeanF,
Thanks for reaching out to us about your WH-1000XM6 headphones. We're genuinely sorry to hear that you're finding them insanely uncomfortable even after months of daily use. That's definitely not the experience we want you to have.
We recommend you take a moment to review the official Sony Help Guide on how to properly wear the headset. Sometimes a very slight, specific adjustment can completely relieve pressure points.
Please check out this link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2984/v1/en/contents/TP1001861255.html
We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed feedback about the comfort and ergonomics of the headphones. Receiving specific input like this is incredibly valuable to us.
Thanks for considering Sony products. We apologize for your experience.
Sincerely,
Estefany

We are so glad to hear that your WH-1000XM6 headphones are really packing a punch for you! We put a lot of work into the new QN3 processor and those carbon-fiber drivers to make sure the sound is as powerful and clear as possible, so it’s awesome to hear that you’re feeling that impact. It's great to have you as part of the XM6 family!
Thank you for choosing Sony!

May want to look else where
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound was just OK. I compared it to my beats that I had and there really wasn’t much difference. The headphones themselves don’t breathe well so I felt like my head was cooking when I had them on. The noise cancellation was good, but not the best and for the price I expected a lot more. I returned them after two days.

Top tier sound, bad comfort
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is amazing and the EQ settings they allow you to change is crazy compared to boses 3 setting EQ settings. The comfort is horrible, there is no padding and you can feel the ANC microphone in your ear at times.

Posted .Hi JPLR,
Thank you for your feedback! We are honored to hear you are enjoying the industry-leading EQ customization and sound quality of the WH-1000XM6. We aim to provide a superior audio experience, so we're glad that part is hitting the mark.
We are sorry to hear about the discomfort you're experiencing. You should not be able to feel the internal components against your ears. To improve the fit and comfort, we recommend the following:
1. Check Headband Adjustment: Ensure the headband is adjusted so the earcups sit centered over your ears. If the headband is too loose, the earcups may tilt, causing the internal hardware to make contact with your ear.
2. Adjust Orientation: Adjust the orientation of the left and right units so that the earpads fit snugly all around your ears.
We hope those recommendations help. For further details about wearing the headphones and maximizing comfort, please visit:

The best noise cancellation
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had beats and Bose, these beat both of them. True noise cancellation. A little pricy but worth it in my opinion. Easy setup and use with app.

Posted .Hi JosephR,
Thanks for that fantastic 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear that you feel the WH-1000XM6 headphones surpass other brands you've used. It's truly rewarding to know that the noise cancellation is making such a difference for you. The HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1 and Integrated Processor V1, working with eight microphones, are what deliver that truly immersive, distraction-free listening experience you're praising. We're also glad the setup was easy with the app!
Thanks for choosing Sony, and have a wonderful day!

Great When They Work Correctly
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Beware potential buyers, the Sony xm6 headphones work great while not broken. Unfortunately they break way too easily. For reference, I have bought the previous 3 headphones in this series (xm4, xm5, xm6). All have broken within a year and a half, and these broke in 4 months. As some have mentioned, these headphones can get pretty warm, which can obviously lead to sweating a bit, especially in warm areas. In just 4 months, whenever it gets remotely hot out, or I sweat even a little, there is a crackling sound when using the noise cancelling in the right earpad. I've found out it was condensation building up in the headphones that caused it. Sony support is even worse. Their text support is nearly non-functional, with agents randomly ending chats, making it nearly impossible to get through one fully. Call support isn't much better, as I was told I would have to send the headphones in for them to "determine" if the pair was truly defective to get a new pair sent, a process that could "take 2-3 weeks" according to Sony support. I work from home, so having no sound for that long a time is not possible for me. Of course I could buy a cheap pair of stand in headphones, but the point is that a 450 dollar pair of headphones should last longer than 4 months. I've had similar issues with previous models as well. TLDR: Great when they work, but the fragility of these headphones make it hard to recommend for the price.

wh-1000xm4 still the best for DRUMMERS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had high hopes for these cans but just like the xm5's they disappointed me (from a drummer's standpoint). Too boomy on the lows when hitting the floor tom and other low end instruments. It looks like I'll be using my trusty old wh-1000xm4's for the next 3 years. If it wasn't $450 I might keep them around for other purposes, but the price alone is ridiculous, as is all the other brands.
