    [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.

      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.

      Best regards,

    I am glad I got these headphones. Excellent sound quality. Comfortable, not too fatiguing on the ears. You can intuitively customize your preferred sound on the app. If you listen to classical music, you can hear a lot of the nuance. If you prefer rock, you can enjoy the bass cranked up. I prefer the Midnight Blue color for a slightly unusual look.

It is wonderful to know that the audio precision allows you to capture every nuance of a classical concerto while still providing the punchy bass needed for your favorite rock tracks. We are also glad the Midnight Blue finish is providing that unique aesthetic touch you were looking for!

      Thank you for making Sony a part of your daily listening experience.

    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.

    These are the best headphones I've ever owned -- and I've had two Bose noise-cancelling sets previously. The sound is clear and the app is great for adjusting the sound to my ear. The noise cancelling works great, and the easy way to temporarily suspend the noise-cancellation to carry on a conversation is super. Very comfortable as well! The range for the wireless connection is also the best I have ever experienced.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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

    Great headphones for the gym / chores around the house. Noise cancellation works pretty well, they have cool features like the simultaneous connectivity to two devices and EQ presets. I've dropped them a couple times and they still work fine. They can get kind of smelly if you leave them in the case without wiping them down post work out, but overall they're great headphones.

      Hi Kyril,

      It brings us great satisfaction to hear that your WH-1000XM6 headphones are keeping up with your lifestyle, from intense gym sessions to staying productive around the house. We designed them to be as versatile as they are durable, so it’s fantastic to know they’ve handled a few accidental drops and still perform beautifully. The multipoint connection and EQ presets are definitely game-changers for a seamless experience!

      Regarding the post-workout freshness, a quick wipe down after a heavy session is a great tip for any athlete to keep those ear pads in top shape.

      Thank you for choosing Sony to power your daily soundtrack!
