    Excellent sound as well as noise cancellation just a little on the cheaper side as a construction returned for the AirPods Max 2 quality is unmatched as well as new uncompromising features perfect pair of quality is not an issue

    Has a excelent sound, noise cancelation i didn't listed the person in my side, the control for volume and changed sound is great. The confort is no good, the ear touch the cloth that come inside, need to be deeper, the ear cups are small and don't cover of the ear.

      Hi Deeel,

      We are thrilled to hear you find the sound quality excellent and the Noise Cancellation effective enough that you "didn't listed the person in my side," which is the core performance we strive for, and we are glad the touch controls are working great for you. However, we sincerely apologize that the shallow ear cups are causing discomfort by allowing your ear to touch the internal cloth. We recommend that users experiencing this comfort issue consider looking for thicker, custom-depth replacement ear pads from specialized third-party accessory makers, which often resolves the depth problem while maintaining the impressive ANC performance you enjoy.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

    Amazing Features! Poor Comfort...

    I bought these headphones for airplane rides. The noise cancellation and sound quality is amazing. I love how they seemlessly connect to 2 devices at the same time. It automatically switches to the device is playing audio. The problem I have with this product is comfort. The headband applies too much pressure on top of my head and around my ears. It gave me a headache about 30 minutes into a flight. I do have the old XM2 headphones and the XM2 is more comfortable than these XM6. I will be returning these.

      Thank you for your feedback, EdwardLee.

      We are glad to hear you enjoyed the noise cancellation and seamless switching, but we are truly sorry to hear the WH-1000XM6 caused you discomfort. We aim for a perfect balance of performance and comfort, and we regret that the fit didn't work out for you as well as your previous XM2s did.

      Your feedback regarding the headband pressure is very valuable to our design team. We appreciate your long-term loyalty to Sony and hope we can find a better fit for you in the future.

      Hi TrashMetalPanda,

      We feel privileged to know you were impressed with the great Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) performance of the WH-1000XM6 headphones!

      We hear your feedback regarding the sound profile and the bulkiness when worn around the neck. We want to assure you that you can easily customize the sound to your preference using the Sony Headphones Connect app. The app features a robust Equalizer (EQ) that allows you to boost bass, enhance treble, or select from various presets to create a listening profile that suits your taste.

      We also appreciate your note on the design for future consideration. Thank you for choosing Sony!
