    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).

    I typically use this style of headphones for guided meditation. There are vey distinct sounds and tones that are required in order for the session to become truly effective. Previously I had bought the Bose Ultra but they were not meeting my expectations. I was on the fence of buying these for a while because it’s an expensive device. After a few months of contemplating, I caved in and I’m so glad that I did! The sound quality out of the box was just like the Bose Ultras however the sound truly gets unlocked when you download the app. I am no sound expert but I know what I like. The app is able to run a fit test and sound test to fit YOUR needs. Then it gives you an EQ setting based on your preferences. (You can also adjust the results to really narrow down your needs)

    Extremely comfortable with glasses and extra earring piercings. Noise is canceled pretty well. My only issue is every time I cough, sneeze or any other sudden sound around me the ambient sound shifts automatically turning noise canceling feature off. I have manually turn noise canceling back on. It would be nice to be set the ambient sound control to stay on noise canceling no matter what sound is happening around me.

      Thank you so much for your detailed feedback, TammyM! We’re thrilled that you find the WH-1000XM6 headphones comfortable, especially with glasses and piercings, and that the noise canceling performance meets your expectations.

      Regarding your experience with noise canceling automatically switching off when you cough, sneeze, or there’s a sudden loud noise: this is an intended function of the adaptive sound controls, which are designed to optimize your listening experience and situational awareness by temporarily adjusting settings in response to certain environmental triggers.

      We recognize that this auto-switching can sometimes be disruptive for users who prefer uninterrupted noise canceling. While it’s not currently possible to fully disable these auto-adjustments and keep NC mode continuously on, we encourage you to update both your headphones and the Sony | Sound Connect app to the latest version, as newer firmware may offer improved control or adjustments over these features. You can also review the adaptive sound and noise canceling options in the app settings—disabling features like Adaptive Sound Control or Speak-to-Chat may help minimize these unwanted changes.

      We appreciate your suggestion for a persistent noise canceling mode—feedback like yours is valuable in guiding future updates and feature improvements. We will be sure to share your experience with our development team.

    The Sony WH-1000M6 noise cancelling (NC) headphones are about the best value I've found for car/airplane travel. They comfortably reduce constant external noise by ~98% while providing excellent sound for music and podcasts. Built-in convenient touch controls let you change volume, pause NC, change volume/tracks, etc. while connecting via bluetooth or phone-plug. Bought a pair for myself and then bought another pair for my spouse. Comes with a case as well!

    Lost my xm4 and needed a replacement. Overall, a nice upgrade (But if I didnt lose my old headphones, probably would not upgrade). The quality of the sound and ANC is amazing -as expected from Sony. The gestures and controls are similar to other sony devices and intuitive. Pairing to the phone and devices are easy with the App. The case is now clam shell with a clip vs. with a zipper. Overall, good new headphones if you need a new one but not too much changes from the xm4

      Your overall assessment—that this is a great purchase if you need a new pair, with subtle but significant changes from the XM4—is highly valuable to other customers looking to make that decision.

    The sound quality and noise canceling are good for the most part. Depending on what you listen to, out of the box the unequalized frequency response doesn't really accentuate the treble or bass in my opinion. Materials wise this thing is a fingerprint magnet, I wish plastic on the earcups was more oil resistant it looks like an oil slick if you don't wipe it off every so often.
