Great NC
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are my first over the ear NC headphones. I must say great start for me. The NC is phenomenal. I used it to take naps in a noisy hospital visit and the battery life was more then enough i got easily 8 hrs worth with some battery left. The top bar i feel can be a bit more comfy but i do have a pin head so maybe that was it. Besides that im always finding an excuse to wear them. If you want quality sound? Its there, but tbh there are better solutions for that. This one just checks off everything very well with NC bieng spectacular.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The quality of the feel and sound is great! Only thing I don’t like is the earcups. Not enough cushion and looks cheap, along with it not being able to get wet. Besides that I think the price should have been $100 less due to those
I would recommend this to a friend Excellent product and excellent sound quality.

Great headphones

Posted .Hi Juan,
Thank you for the 5-star review! We're so happy to hear that your new WH-1000XM6 headphones are a huge improvement over the WH-1000XM4. It's fantastic that you're noticing a big difference in both the noise cancellation and the touch controls, as those were key areas of focus for us.
The enhanced performance, especially for phone calls and the touch controls, is thanks to a major upgrade in the core technology. The WH-1000XM6 features the new HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3, which is seven times faster than its predecessor and utilizes 12 microphones—1.5 times more than the previous model. This new processor and microphone system work together in real-time to more effectively block out unwanted sounds and isolate your voice for crystal-clear calls, making a noticeable difference in your daily use.
Thanks for choosing Sony, have an excellent day!

Posted .Thank you for sharing your incredible review, Michael!
We are absolutely thrilled to hear you call the WH-1000XM6 the best noise canceling headphone out there! Your description of feeling like you are in a "sound dampening bubble" is a fantastic compliment and perfectly captures what we aim for with our industry-leading Noise Canceling technology.
It's rewarding to know that the advanced processing and multiple microphones are delivering that level of pure, uninterrupted immersion for you.

No headphone can cancel high pitched sounds.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Yes, these will cancel noise but they don't cancel extremly loud noises like yelling/ screaming or high pitched sounds like a squealing dryer. No headphones can cancel these sounds.

Posted .Hi Raymond,
We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. You are exactly right—while our industry-leading noise-canceling technology is designed to drastically reduce ambient sounds like airplane engines or office chatter, sudden, high-pitched, or extremely loud noises can still be difficult to eliminate completely. We are glad to hear they are working well for your general noise-canceling needs!
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Posted .Hi CromagJohnson,
We are pleased to learn that your upgrade to the WH-1000XM6 has made such a significant difference in your travels! The XM4 was a fan favorite for years, so hearing that you find this new generation much better at silencing airplane engines is a fantastic testament to our engineering progress. We are thrilled that you can now enjoy a near-silent cabin experience, allowing you to focus entirely on your music or movies during long flights.

Extremely uncomfortable/ headband snapped.
|Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] Sound quality, big upgrade from the xm5 noise cancellation is absolutely amazing. The fact that they can fold again. Sososo good. The case is beautiful. They are however awful to wear. The earcups are teeny tiny, and have protrusions inside them that can actually touch your ear if you have larger ears. The foam on the earculs is extremely thin as well, which helps with heat but not with comfort. The main issue with comfort though is the top headband. It literally doesnt feel like it has foam in it at all, i couldnt wear these headphones for more than like five minutes without them actually hurting. I took them off once and the hadband snapped up. I was able to snap it back in place , which was crazy to me, but from them oj it made a creaking sound. I returned these and went back to my xm5. The sound quality and anc upgrade isnt worth nkt bejng able to wear them. My advice is to go into the store and try them on. Spend some time wearing them at the display. See if they hurt your head.

Posted .Hi Rikku, we're genuinely sorry that the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones did not provide the comfort you required, despite the significant enhancements in sound quality, active noise cancellation (ANC), and the reintroduction of the foldable design. We understand that the small earcups, thin earcup foam, and particularly the discomfort from the headband made them unwearable for long-term use for you.
Your detailed feedback, including the issue with the headband snapping and creaking, is extremely valuable. We genuinely appreciate you taking the time to experience the product and provide such a thorough review. Your insights, especially the recommendation for potential customers to try them on in-store are crucial, and we'll definitely share your feedback with our development team for future improvements. We're happy you returned to the WH1000XM5 and are still enjoying the magnificent sound. Thank you for considering Sony! Best regards, -Dominick

Posted .Hi GonzaloS,
We are ecstatic to learn that your WH-1000XM6 headphones are making such a positive difference during your time on the road!
We know that a trucking environment presents unique challenges, which is why we’ve equipped the XM6 with our most powerful hardware yet: the HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3. Combined with a total of 12 microphones, this system is designed to identify and cancel out the low-frequency roar of a truck engine with incredible speed and precision. We are thrilled that the "great" audio quality is helping you enjoy your favorite tracks and stay focused on the miles ahead.
Thank you for trusting Sony to be your reliable companion on every journey.
