Great noise canceling headphones

One when you lie down the left side has some bottom that activates and it’s a little annoying. The second one is that when you are connecting with your iPhone listening to music and you get I call you need your hands for accepted or not.

- Pros mentioned:Battery life
Great headset. Not worth the price.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headset with a caveat. The noise cancelling is 100% set to the environment. Wearing for an extended period on a plane, for example, you will notice fluctuations in the noise cancelling frequency and it is quite unpleasant. Nothing you can do in the settings even when you specifically disable that toggle. Seems I’m in the minority here, though. Battery life is EXCELLENT. Its also nice to be able to connect to 2 devices at once. But these are not nearly worth the price.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi str8b8ed,
We're glad to hear you're enjoying the excellent battery life and multipoint connection on your WH-1000XM6 headphones. We apologize for the frustration with the noise-canceling fluctuations on the plane. This behavior is most often caused by the Adaptive Sound Control feature, which we recommend disabling in the Sony | Headphones Connect app to maintain a consistent noise-canceling level. If the issue persists, please ensure you have the latest firmware installed.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab
