Posted .Hi Cyhu,
It is truly wonderful to know that you are enjoying the audio performance of your WH-1000XM6 even when noise canceling is turned off!
The exceptional sound quality you mentioned is driven by our new custom driver unit featuring a lightweight carbon fiber dome, which was masterfully engineered to deliver rich vocals and incredible clarity across all frequencies. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the finish. We chose these premium, smooth-touch materials for their sleek aesthetic and lightweight comfort, which is essential for our most comfortable headband design yet.
Thank you for choosing Sony!

Volume control issue

Posted .Thank you for your feedback, Jake.
We are glad to hear that you find the wh1000xm6 more comfortable than the AirPods Max! We put a lot of focus on the weight and pressure distribution, so it’s great to know that is paying off for you.
We also appreciate your honest thoughts on the volume control swipe.

Feedback like yours is essential as we continue to refine the user interface for our future models.
Thank you for choosing Sony and for sharing your experience!

Overpriced
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones feel a bit overpriced. Sound’s pretty good - clear with tweakable bass - but comfort’s not great, kinda snug compared to Bose that i used for a while. Noise cancellation rocks, and they’re portable, but I expected more for the price

Posted .Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with the WH-1000XM6, Alex. Your feedback is incredibly valuable and helps us improve.
We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the sound quality and finding the customizable bass and advanced noise cancellation features meeting your expectations. The portability is something many of our users love as well, and we’re happy that stands out for you.
We’re sorry to hear the fit isn’t as comfortable as you’d hoped, especially compared to your previous Bose headphones. The WH-1000XM6 uses new, softer synthetic leather and padding designed to improve comfort and acoustic isolation. However, we know fit and comfort are very personal, and some users might find the headband or earcups a bit snug out of the box. The padding can soften a bit over time, but if you continue experiencing discomfort, adjustable sliders and rotating earcups may help you find a more relaxed fit. If it doesn’t improve, our support team is happy to assist with tips or explore options.
Regarding price, we understand your expectations. The WH-1000XM6 is packed with the latest audio processing, adaptive sound controls, and industry-leading noise cancellation, but we recognize value is more than features—it’s about your overall experience. We’re always working to balance new technology and premium materials with the best value for our customers.
If you have specific feedback or ideas on how we could improve comfort or better meet your expectations, please share them with us. Your input directly shapes future updates and designs.
Thank you again for your insights and for being part of our community.
