Nice headphones, but a bit pricey
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these for my college student. Nice headphones with decent sound and noise cancelling. I also have 2 pairs of Bose QuietComfort. I don’t think the So us are substantially better to justify the higher cost.

Posted .Hi JoseP,
It is great to hear that you like your new WH-1000XM6 headphones, but we want to make sure your audio experience matches the investment. To help bring out the deeper low-end and fine-tune the sound profile, we recommend downloading the Sony | Sound Connect app. From there, you can easily adjust the built-in equalizer and boost the bass settings directly to your personal preference.
Thank you for choosing Sony.

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.

Amazing if your ears are small enough.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ANC is second to none. There is zero doubt about that. However, if you have slightly larger ears, these may be uncomfortable for you. There are multiple mic's inside the earcup that my ears pressed against making the headphones extremely uncomfortable to wear after only a few minutes. I hate to admit it but I returned them and went with the Bose QC Ultra 2 only because of the larger ear opening. The Bose ANC is not as good as the Sony, but I can ACTUALLY WEAR THEM.

Posted .Hi JJ85,
We appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed and honest feedback, even though the WH-1000XM6 headphones were not the right fit for you personally. We are delighted you found the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) to be second to none, as we constantly strive for industry-leading performance in that area. However, we sincerely regret that the earcup size caused discomfort due to pressure on the internal microphones. We take comfort issues seriously and will pass this specific note regarding larger ears and internal mic placement directly to our design and engineering teams for future product development.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
