Step up from the XM5s
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.To be honest, I thought I was done with Sony after the XM5s. They let me down in a lot of ways (sound quality and the hinge for starters). Then I started seeing leaks for the XM6 and I was like “okay one last try”. I’m very glad I did. These are bar none the best cans I’ve owned. I owned AirPods Max and sold them, had B&W Px7 and gave them away for poor noise cancelling. The XM6 finally achieved everything I was looking for in over-ear headphones

Thank you for such an honest and powerful review of the WH-1000XM6 headphones!
We're incredibly grateful you decided to give Sony one more try after your experience with the XM5s. Hearing that the XM6s are "bar none the best cans you've owned"—even after owning and comparing them to premium competitors—truly means a lot to us.
It's fantastic to know that the XM6 finally achieved everything you were looking for in over-ear headphones. We're thrilled to have earned back your trust and delivered an exceptional listening experience!
Thanks for choosing Sony!
Sincerely,

Posted .Hi AndyJ,
Thank you for your feedback! We're thrilled to hear that the sound quality and noise isolation are meeting your expectations.
Regarding the fit, the initial clamping force is designed to ensure a consistent acoustic seal for the best noise-canceling performance. You'll find that with regular use, the headband will naturally adjust and relax to the width of your head for a more personalized, comfortable fit.
Thank you for choosing Sony!

Totally worth it!
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] These are my first high end over the ear headphones and i am so pleased with them! I need to figure out the touch control shortkeys became if my shoulder hits the ourside cup it stops, fwds, or rewinds what im listening to. So thats kind of annoying. But i never read the instructions until I dont figuring things out 'naturally'. Noise cancellation is top notch.

Good overall
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Compared to the last XM5 the ANC is undeniably better but not by much and it doesn’t justify it’s price. For someone like me who wants the best it isn’t a horrible idea but still a bad deal

Posted .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.

Noise Cancellation Exceptional
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise canceling is very impressive. The sound quality may be a bit behind some competitors. However, in my opinion, the whole package that you get from these headphones is unbeatable. If you can get these on sale, I would say that the other headphones can’t compete. I’ve used these on several flights and it’s even blocked out screaming babies. I recommend these to anyone who needs incredible noise canceling

Posted .Hi, KirkM!
Thank you for taking the time to share your review.
It is most rewarding to hear that you find the sound quality of your WH-1000XM6 to be very good overall.
We appreciate your honesty regarding the price and performance.
To get that exceptional sound you’re looking for, we recommend using the "Equalizer" settings in the Sony | Sound Connect app to manually boost the Clear Bass or adjust the highs to your liking.
It’s a pleasure having you as a Sony customer!
