Best headphones of 2025
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best headphones I own. And that is saying something. I have plenty of $300 plus headphones. This is the latest and greatest from SONY. And it is worth the price. The theater setting via the app you download onto your phone makes a world of difference.

Great for the price and sound quality.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are pretty good headphones and have a great set of options to play with. Awesome ANC. The only downside I find is it needs a bit of more cushioning.

Posted .Thank you for the feedback, vk3105!
We are happy to hear that the industry-leading noise cancellation and feature set are hitting the mark for you. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the cushioning. We designed the WH-1000XM6 with a wider headband and new soft, padded cushions to distribute weight, but we understand that comfort is very personal.

Worth every penny!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Coming from the airpod pro 2’s, these have been night and day better in every aspect. I’m heavy into the apple ecosystem but after my experience with the AirPods, I made the decision to jump ship because of quality and longevity concerns.

Uncomfortable but I loved the controls
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The touch controls on this headset are incredible! Sadly I had to return because the clamp force is too tight for all day wear and my ears touched the inside of the headphones making them uncomfortable for all day wear
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Thank you for your feedback, Clay.
We’re glad you enjoyed the touch controls on the WH-1000XM6, but we are truly sorry to hear the fit and clamp force weren't right for you. We design our headsets for comfort, so we appreciate you letting us know where they missed the mark for all-day wear.

Distortion over bluetooth
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So, these headphones do have phenomenal noise canceling, but i have experienced some distortion over bluetooth. Otherwise they sound great over a wired connection. I dont know if its android, equalizer settings, or just a software issue, but its really kept me from fully enjoying these headphones.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi Chris,
Thanks for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear you're experiencing distortion with your new WH1000XM6 headphones. That's definitely not the listening experience we want you to have—especially since you've noted that they sound great with a wired connection.
Since you're hearing distortion specifically over Bluetooth, here are a few things to check that might help: In the Sony | Sound Connect app, go to Settings and look for a setting called Bluetooth Connection Quality. If it's set to "Prioritize Sound Quality (LDAC)," try switching it to Prioritize Stable Connection. You can reset the Headphones and Disable DSEE Extreme as well!
If the issue persists, feel free to reach out to our Sony Support team at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones
We hope this helps get your issue resolved.
Thanks for choosing Sony!
Sincerely,
Jenn | Sony North America.
