Yes Yes & Yes
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ok I’m 53, have an iphone and have been a bose fan for YEARS!!! To keep it in perspective, I still have my Bose Ultra earbuds and will never leave. Ive tried every earbud on the market and none come close to the bose for sound, NC, and comfort. The talking is less to be desired but the gen 2 are to be relased later this week and they claim to have fixed the issue. Now onto the Sony XM6. These are by far the best over ear headphones on the market. You’ve probably researched all the reviews on youtube and they are correct. The only thing I would add is to find YOUR best suited EQ settings. This is extremely important. I followed this one guy on IG and he shared his setting and I ‘liked’ the XM6 before the adjustment, now afterwards I will confirm these are a perfect 10. A must have. So yes buy them, yes fix your EQ settings and finally yes you will say I do NOT have buyers remorse. This is just one man’s, in search of the perfect headphones opinion. Thank you for reading.

Comfortable for extended wear
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Of course the sound quality is very good and customizable. The noise canceling features are excellent and more comfortable than in ear options I have tried. Importantly, these can be worn with no discomfort at all. I even use them at work now to dictate.

The Best All Around Wireless Headphone
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Best pair of headphones I have ever had. I hate the price tag but others around this price really do not compare. The comfort without sacrificing sound quality. Bigger Framed Glasses do causes irritation after multiple hours (2+)

Posted .Hi Reilly,
Thank you for the feedback. I've adjusted the previous reply to be shorter while still addressing all your points:
We are thrilled you love the WH-1000XM6 headphones! We apologize that wearing them with your larger framed glasses causes irritation after extended use. To address the pressure, try adjusting your glasses' arms to rest higher or lower on the ear padding, or gently stretch the headband over a few books overnight to slightly reduce the clamping force.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,

Best in quality.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is awesome. The only problem is that you can’t use it for longer period. After an hour your ear starts paining. Easy to carry with a good case cover.

Posted .Hi Mohammad,
We are glad you enjoy the sound quality but apologize that the headphones cause discomfort after an hour. Discomfort is often resolved by adjusting the fit; please try gently repositioning the headband height and earcup angle to ensure the earpads sit lightly around your ears, reducing pressure points for better comfort during long listening sessions.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Good sound
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good quality item. The music sounds so good and the battery life is not too bad. I noticed a few days ago though, that some of my music that played well on it, are no longer working well. I did get a 2 year protection plan, so let's see how that goes in case I need their help.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback, IndT.
We are delighted to hear that you are enjoying the very good quality of your WH-1000XM6 headphones, particularly the clear music sound and the strong battery life!
We are, however, concerned to hear about the recent issue where some of your music is no longer playing well. This kind of audio skipping or intermittent sound can sometimes be related to Bluetooth connection quality settings, especially when transferring high-resolution audio.
We would like to help you resolve this right away so you don't need to use your protection plan for a minor issue. We recommend trying this quick fix in the Sony | Headphones Connect app:
Go to the Sound tab.
Find the setting for Bluetooth Connection Quality.
If it is currently set to Prioritize Sound Quality, please try changing it to Prioritize Stable Connection.
This simple change often resolves unexpected audio playback issues.
If this step does not fix the problem, please reach out to our support team directly at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones. Our specialists can guide you through other troubleshooting steps, such as performing a software update or a full reset.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and look forward to ensuring your listening experience is consistently excellent!

Owned XM2, XM4, XM5 before buying these.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Literal 5 star review. No hyperbole. I owned the XM2’s then didn’t need a new pair until they died. Those sounded incredible and my experience with them was great. Sticking with the Sony line was worth the cost of admission, so I bought the XM5’s which had just come out. After using them for a few days I returned them. They sounded incredible and much improved over my previous pair, but I hated that they didn’t fold down, plus it seemed the quality of the build was cheaper. I wanted to wait for the release of the XM6’s to see if they improved those concerns in any way, but in the meantime purchased the XM4’s to hold me over. Fast forward about 3 years to now and the XM6’s drop. Purchased them week one and as someone whose owned the XM2, XM4 and XM5 I can confidentally say that these are king of the hill to date. It seems to me if you had anything prior to the XM5, these have noticeable sound improvements and noise cancelling. If you have the XM5 previously, any improvement is not overly obvious to maybe a non-audiophile/obsessive. Maybe the hear through is better a pinch, but the noise cancelling, tuning, and overall sound is not vastly different. However, the build quality seems better and the folding is back. Recommend, that’s for sure, even with the $50 price increase.

Your insights on the build quality and the return of the folding feature are invaluable and we’re pleased that these enhancements have positively impacted your experience.
Thank you for choosing Sony and thank you once again for your recommendation. We hope you continue to enjoy the exceptional sound and features of the XM6s!
