Excellent Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are comfortable and sound great. Allowing ambient noise actually amplifies background noise, but it helps to be able to hear yourself talk to not shout at people when using as a headset. They do an amazing job with background noise cancellation. To test my wife was yelling in the room near me and the people on the other end of a meetings call couldn’t hear her at all. However, rocking motions forward and back will result in the noise cancellation causing you to cut in and out. Normal movement is fine though. The magnetic carrying case is much nicer than the previous generations. I also appreciate the ability to feel the difference between the round power button and the oblong feature button. I’m not a fan of the touch controls on the right cup as sometimes they can be a little wonky, but they work way better than on my old XM4s. Overall I highly recommend these headphones and believe it would be hard to find a better pair when caring about sound quality and usage as a headset.

Great sound, some minor issues with Bluetooth uh
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really don’t have a lot to say about audio quality or the noise cancellation. Both are very good. I have a few issues that I wanted to mention. One is that I have to go into the Bluetooth settings, turn off Bluetooth, turn it back on, and then try to connect my headphones to my iPhone 17. I have to do this every time. The problem may be with my iPhone but I find this inconvenient. The second issue is with the case. A lot of of the reviewers online gave great reviews to the case. I would as well, but with one qualification. You have to fold the headphones exactly right or they won’t fit in the case. It takes some practice. The case is important to me because I use these for my commute on the train. I am putting them on and taking them off pretty frequently so the case is a big issue. Other than these issues I’m pretty happy so far.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your experience, KenS.
We’re glad to hear you’re happy with the audio and noise cancellation on your WH-1000XM6! We appreciate your honest feedback regarding the folding process for the case; it definitely has a specific "rhythm" to it, especially when you're on a busy commute.
Regarding that Bluetooth connection hurdle with your iPhone, we’d like to help smooth that out so you don't have to toggle settings every time.

Can block almsot any noise.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly i was very hesitant on buying this. I was originally going to go for the Airpods Max but after much reviewing I decided to go for this product, and omg did it kill my concerns. Its got a comfortable battery life, making it so you dont have to worry about charging it daily (though id recommend still doing so) but it alos blocks out almost all noise. Its honestly amazing.

Nice sound quality and comfortable to wear
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super comfortable and good sound quality. I like that they brought back the folding feature. I just wish I could keep the ambient sound mode on instead of having it switch back to noise cancellation mode automatically.

Best headphones I have ever used!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best headphones i have ever used (so far). Excellent sound quality and features. The one downside is the finish on these shows finger prints very easily, it is very annoying but not enough to affect my view of them. The battery life is incredible, i have them a lot and have only charged like twice.

Couldn't be happier!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These sound amazing! The fact that they're so light and carry a punchy sound make them even more awesome. I was going back and forth between this and the apple airpod Max's but they were too heavy and didn't have a deeper bass compared to the Sony's. I got them for my wife as I still use my XM4's. I can say sound wise it isn't a huge upgrade from the XM4's but they've upgraded the noise cancellation and the sidetone feature drastically. Solid buy nonetheless and my wife loves it which is the most important thing as a husband haha

The most important thing is that your wife loves them. Thanks again for being a loyal customer and for sharing your experience!

Sony XM6
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Sony XM6 headphones and I love them. The noise cancellation is great, the sound is clear with strong bass, and the battery lasts all day. The only downside is that sometimes they randomly turn off even when they’re not dead.

Posted .Thank you for the fantastic review, GloriaM!
We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your new WH-1000XM6 is delivering the clear sound, strong bass, and top-tier noise cancellation you expect from Sony. It’s wonderful to know the battery life is keeping up with your daily routine! We are sorry to hear about the random power-offs, but this is often just a setting called "Automatic Power Off" that can be adjusted in the Sony | Headphones Connect app to keep them on even when they don't detect movement.
If that doesn't solve it, please reach out to us at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones so we can make sure your experience is 100% seamless. Thank you for choosing Sony!

The Best
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've tried all types of headphones, and these are the best when combining sound, comfort, and noise cancellation. The LDAC codec lets you listen to HD quality music with almost any Android phone. If you have an iPhone, there is a small adapter you can buy on Amazon from Questyle.

Posted .Hi DarylD,
It’s rewarding to hear that after testing various models, you have found our latest flagship headphones to be the ultimate benchmark for audio, comfort, and silence!
To achieve this level of performance, we integrated the all-new HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3, which operates seven times faster than its predecessor to optimize 12 individual microphones in real-time. This processing power ensures that our industry-leading noise cancellation adapts instantly to your environment, while the carbon fiber composite 30mm drivers deliver the studio-quality precision that audiophiles expect. We are also glad you mentioned the LDAC support; by allowing for a transmission rate of 990 kbps, we ensure that High-Resolution Audio is preserved wirelessly, giving you the richest possible soundscape regardless of your device.
Thank you for choosing Sony and for sharing your helpful setup tips with the community!
