Extremely uncomfortable/ headband snapped.
|Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality, big upgrade from the xm5 noise cancellation is absolutely amazing. The fact that they can fold again. Sososo good. The case is beautiful. They are however awful to wear. The earcups are teeny tiny, and have protrusions inside them that can actually touch your ear if you have larger ears. The foam on the earculs is extremely thin as well, which helps with heat but not with comfort. The main issue with comfort though is the top headband. It literally doesnt feel like it has foam in it at all, i couldnt wear these headphones for more than like five minutes without them actually hurting. I took them off once and the hadband snapped up. I was able to snap it back in place , which was crazy to me, but from them oj it made a creaking sound. I returned these and went back to my xm5. The sound quality and anc upgrade isnt worth nkt bejng able to wear them. My advice is to go into the store and try them on. Spend some time wearing them at the display. See if they hurt your head.

Posted .Hi Rikku, we're genuinely sorry that the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones did not provide the comfort you required, despite the significant enhancements in sound quality, active noise cancellation (ANC), and the reintroduction of the foldable design. We understand that the small earcups, thin earcup foam, and particularly the discomfort from the headband made them unwearable for long-term use for you.
Your detailed feedback, including the issue with the headband snapping and creaking, is extremely valuable. We genuinely appreciate you taking the time to experience the product and provide such a thorough review. Your insights, especially the recommendation for potential customers to try them on in-store are crucial, and we'll definitely share your feedback with our development team for future improvements. We're happy you returned to the WH1000XM5 and are still enjoying the magnificent sound. Thank you for considering Sony! Best regards, -Dominick

Volume control issue
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.More comfortable than the AirPod Max, but less than the Bose equivalent. The volume control swipe is terrible. Wish they had a physical volume control.

Posted .Thank you for your feedback, Jake.
We are glad to hear that you find the wh1000xm6 more comfortable than the AirPods Max! We put a lot of focus on the weight and pressure distribution, so it’s great to know that is paying off for you.
We also appreciate your honest thoughts on the volume control swipe. We know that touch gestures can have a learning curve compared to physical buttons, and we value your preference for a more tactile volume control. Feedback like yours is essential as we continue to refine the user interface for our future models.
Thank you for choosing Sony and for sharing your experience!

Is good but need better design
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Has a excelent sound, noise cancelation i didn't listed the person in my side, the control for volume and changed sound is great. The confort is no good, the ear touch the cloth that come inside, need to be deeper, the ear cups are small and don't cover of the ear.

Posted .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.
Best regards,
Eliab

Great audio quality and noise cancellation
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The audio quality is great and the noise cancellation is very nice. I like how you can connect it to audio devices at one time. So now I have it connected to my TV and my phone and it's super convenient. There are a lot of Sony oriented features with the app, haven't got to use very much of them but they seem convenient.

Overall excellent
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony headphones always have excellent sound quality, plus ANC.

Almost perfect
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .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.

Awesome upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent noise reduction and sound is top tier. Pads are a lil hard need to soften up. Great upgrade to 6 yr old model. Had tried the Bose Ultras and ANC is alot better but not the fit

Posted .Thank you for the fantastic review, Unsure!
We're thrilled that the WH-1000XM6 is hitting that "top-tier" mark for you and outperforming the competition in noise reduction. It’s great to hear they were a worthy upgrade after six years!
Regarding the earpads, they do tend to soften up and conform to your fit after a week or two of regular use. We appreciate the feedback on the fit as well, as we're always looking to balance world-class ANC with long-term comfort.
Thanks for choosing Sony for your upgrade!
