      Hi PaulaS,

      It’s rewarding to hear that you are enjoying the fantastic sound quality and awesome noise cancellation of your WH-1000XM6 headphones!

      We are glad that you are picking up on new details in your favorite music. It is wonderful to know that the HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3 is delivering such a powerful experience, as it is 7x faster than the processor found in our previous WH-1000XM5 model. By optimizing 12 microphones in real time, this system ensures you get the very best in noise cancellation, sound quality, and call clarity.

      Thank you for trusting Sony.

      Regards,

    Alright the noise canceling capabilities are unbelievable, the ambient mode sounds nearly completely natural, i heard a leaky faucet while in ambient with music playing, the don't sound so airy, the bass is solid and the new background music mode seems useful. The ai powered theater mode (spacial audio) seems hit & miss but isn't terrible.

    I love these headphones, as a busy mom of 3 who just started an online graduate program I love that I can use these headphones for class/group meetings & have the option to control the noise cancellation at my desire & not worry about sacrificing call quality. I also love the added silence I get at the end of my day when I have my much needed me time.

    They're not bad regarding sound quality, but when you want headphones and want to blast your music and don't want others to be able to hear what you're listing to, these aren't it. They're good tho I recommend them.

    The XM6 has far better hinges, the main breaking point for the XM5s. A recessed power button, differentiates it from the ambient button, making it far less confusing. The biggest gripe i had with the XM5s is their battery life, which was all over the place, but these have solved it with being able to charge while being connected wirelessly! Fantastic

      Hi SofiaB,

      It’s incredible to see such a long-standing history with our brand, and we could not be more pleased to hear that the WH-1000XM6 is continuing that legacy for you!

      We designed this generation specifically to balance that deep, powerful bass with a more travel-friendly, foldable design, so it’s wonderful to know the portability and secure fit are making your daily life easier. It sounds like you’ve mastered the touch controls as well—there’s nothing quite like the convenience of managing your music with just a swipe.

      We really appreciate you being a lifelong member of the Sony family and for letting us be the soundtrack to your journey.

      Hi Mizuki,
      It's truly a pleasure to hear that the WH-1000XM6 headphones were able to deliver such powerful noise cancellation, especially when you were in a car with all that background noise.

      However, we're so sorry to hear that you had trouble connecting them to your older PC and needed to return them. We really appreciate you taking the time to share this with us. Your feedback is valuable and helps us understand how we can improve our products for everyone.

      Thanks for considering Sony products!

      Hi AlvinA,

      Thank you for your review of the WH-1000XM6 headphones. We're happy to hear you find them comfortable and enjoy the great sound quality!

      Regarding the noise canceling, a proper seal is crucial for the best performance. We recommend checking the fit and ensuring the earcups fully enclose your ears without any gaps. For further optimization, you can use the Sony | Headphones Connect app to run the "NC Optimizer" function, which tailors the noise canceling to your specific head shape, hairstyle, and even whether you're wearing glasses.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.
