    Overall great sound quality i love that they brought back the folding mechanism. I have had some issues with my first headset that was making clicking noise from what im guessing was a broken speaker. My exchanged pair is working great so far. The battery in it lasts me all through the work week as well usually.

      Hi Mohammad,

      We are glad you enjoy the sound quality but apologize that the headphones cause discomfort after an hour. Discomfort is often resolved by adjusting the fit; please try gently repositioning the headband height and earcup angle to ensure the earpads sit lightly around your ears, reducing pressure points for better comfort during long listening sessions.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

    The headphones are super light and extremely easy to move around in. Still dont know if they are okay with sweat but havent had any problems so far. The noise cancelling is also amazing, i took it on a couple planes and it almost conpletely drowns out the engine noise. I cant even hear people having conversations right next to me. These headphones also have expcetional sony sound quality. They are just overall amazing.

    XM6's build upon all of the greatness of the XM5 but does it better. Noise cancelling seems better, the new cafe feature is great and they feel like an overall firmer clamping pressure for better seal. Best feature is the ability to now fold them for better storage and transportation, though, they can be a bit difficult to make them fit in their case, a little extra room may have been nice.

    I bought them after seeing multiple reviews saying the noise cancellation was some of the best, it truly is. Before this I’ve been using AirPods, Beats Studio buds and Corsair headphones to try and drown out the noise of my busy household, but these almost make it feel like not a thing is around me. Not to mention the sound quality, I know all the other earbuds and headphones I used before weren’t anything great but these straight up made me stop using my earbuds when walking to the store or when on a long drive (passenger).

      Hi Reilly,

      Thank you for the feedback. I've adjusted the previous reply to be shorter while still addressing all your points:

      We are thrilled you love the WH-1000XM6 headphones! We apologize that wearing them with your larger framed glasses causes irritation after extended use. To address the pressure, try adjusting your glasses' arms to rest higher or lower on the ear padding, or gently stretch the headband over a few books overnight to slightly reduce the clamping force.

    Upgrade from the XM4, it’s been great so far, comfortable enough, and sounds great. Only some minor issues. It’s not as comfort as my Bose quietcomfort ultra. It would also be nice to be able to adjust the ambient sound level. Connect to multiple devices works well, but I am still looking for the options not to start music when connected to my iPhone. That’s kind of annoying. Nothing is perfect but it’s very very nice.

    Very good quality item. The music sounds so good and the battery life is not too bad. I noticed a few days ago though, that some of my music that played well on it, are no longer working well. I did get a 2 year protection plan, so let's see how that goes in case I need their help.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback, IndT.

      We are delighted to hear that you are enjoying the very good quality of your WH-1000XM6 headphones, particularly the clear music sound and the strong battery life!

      We are, however, concerned to hear about the recent issue where some of your music is no longer playing well. This kind of audio skipping or intermittent sound can sometimes be related to Bluetooth connection quality settings, especially when transferring high-resolution audio.

      We would like to help you resolve this right away so you don't need to use your protection plan for a minor issue. We recommend trying this quick fix in the Sony | Headphones Connect app:

      Go to the Sound tab.

      Find the setting for Bluetooth Connection Quality.

      If it is currently set to Prioritize Sound Quality, please try changing it to Prioritize Stable Connection.

      This simple change often resolves unexpected audio playback issues.

      If this step does not fix the problem, please reach out to our support team directly at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones. Our specialists can guide you through other troubleshooting steps, such as performing a software update or a full reset.

      We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and look forward to ensuring your listening experience is consistently excellent!

    Sound quality is top notch. Noise cancelling and ambient sound (transparency mode) has improved significantly from the previous model. They're very comfortable, travel case is unique with the magnetic locking mechanism, and the customizable EQ is awesome!

    I’ve had the Xm5s for about 3 years and they have been wonderful but man the difference from xm5 to the xm6 is just crazy. A lot more comfortable I’d say the case is a lot better as the headphones fold. Best noise cancelation on any by far. I’d say it’s better than the AirPods Max.

    I 100% recommend this even if you have the XM5. Huge upgrade on the noise cancellation on the plane. Clamping force is a bit stronger with this one which is really nice, doesn't slip off when I am working out. First day or so my ear was a bit uncomfortable which had me worried but once it "broke in" its been smooth sailing and very comfortable.
