    Great headphones, comfortable and easy to stow in the case. The noise cancellation is better than the XM5 and the audio quality is noticeably better with the Cinema mode. Plus the Bluetooth will connect to both my iPhone and my desk phone and pause one to ring another so my music from my phone is paused when my desk phone rings. Also unlike the XM5 these charge while in use.

    These headphones are really nice. I still have the XM4 and I like them for connecting to my Sony TV. These don't see to connect as well. With the xm4 I can control both tv volume and headphone separately..perhaps firmware updates will change that. Because I have both, it's not a big deal. One stays at home (XM4) and these bad boys are my EDC.

      Hi AddieB,

      We are elated to hear that your new WH-1000XM6 headphones have earned a spot as your go-to "everyday carry." It is wonderful to see them joined with your XM4s to create the ultimate Sony audio duo.

      Regarding the connection with your Sony TV, we recommend unpairing the headphones from your TV and then pairing them again to refresh the link. This often resolves synchronization and volume control quirks. We are constantly working on firmware improvements, so please ensure both your headphones and TV are running the latest software versions for the best experience.

      Thank you for being such a loyal member of the Sony family.

    So far I've been extremely impresses. The sound quality is great, and the noise cancelling tech works better than anything I've seen before. I also love how easy it is to switch b/w devices and all the other customization options you get with the app. The only downsides for me: 1. The volume adjustment increments on the touch pad are way to low. It feels like each swipe is only moving volume up or down 1% and it takes 30-40 swipes to go from 50% to max. Very frustrating, please fix! Or give us the option to adjust. 2. The headphones are very comfortable, but also get very hot since they don't breath at all. I guess this is a consequence of the the noise insulation required.

      Hi Grumpy,

      Thank you for the excellent feedback on the WH-1000XM6 headphones! We're thrilled you're impressed with the sound quality and noise canceling. We appreciate you sharing your experience.

      We understand your frustration with the volume control. While the current design is for precise adjustments, you can increase or decrease the volume more quickly by swiping and holding your finger on the touch panel. Your feedback about both the volume and the warmth of the earcups will be passed on to our product team for future consideration.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Hello Victor,

      Thank you for your review of the WH1000XM6 headphones. We are glad to hear that you are enjoying the excellent sound quality and Active Noise Cancellation (ANC).

      We appreciate your feedback on the design. Your personal preference is valuable to us, and we're always working to innovate while considering our customers' feedback. A key feature we're proud of in the WH-1000XM6 is the more efficient DSEE Extreme processor, which restores details lost during compression for a richer, more faithful audio experience.

      Thanks for choosing Sony, and have a wonderful day!
