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. To be fair I miss the design of the XM4s more but this is completely my own bias and may not be applicable to all people.

Posted .Hello Victor,
Thank you for your review of the WH1000XM6 headphones. We are glad to hear that you are enjoying the excellent sound quality and Active Noise Cancellation (ANC).
We appreciate your feedback on the design. Your personal preference is valuable to us, and we're always working to innovate while considering our customers' feedback. A key feature we're proud of in the WH-1000XM6 is the more efficient DSEE Extreme processor, which restores details lost during compression for a richer, more faithful audio experience.

Posted .Hi CromagJohnson,
We are pleased to learn that your upgrade to the WH-1000XM6 has made such a significant difference in your travels!

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.
