    Bought these as a Christmas gift for my 17 year old son. He said these are better than Apple’s over the ear headphones he has.

      Hi Dave,

      We feel privileged to know that our headphones have earned the top spot for your son, especially when compared to other premium over-ear options!

      It is fantastic to hear that a tech-savvy 17-year-old is finding the WH-1000XM6 to be the superior choice. We’ve worked tirelessly to refine our industry-leading noise cancellation and audio fidelity to ensure that every note is crisp and every distraction is silenced. Knowing that he’s enjoying a heightened level of immersion and comfort compared to his previous pair is the best compliment we could receive.

      Thank you for choosing Sony!

    Sound quality of these headphones are great. Café mode is so great to me; always wanted to listen to music this way while working. Not a huge jump from the XM5 in my opinion, but still a lot to praise.

      Thank you for the feedback, vk3105!

      We are happy to hear that the industry-leading noise cancellation and feature set are hitting the mark for you. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the cushioning. We designed the WH-1000XM6 with a wider headband and new soft, padded cushions to distribute weight, but we understand that comfort is very personal.

    The headphones are pretty good, the sound quality is good since these are my first pair of headphones, although connecting with the Sony app will disconnect even though you're connected and sometimes the ambient mode won't work and you have to disconnect & reconnect, but overall just don't buy these for full price, wait till they're on sale.

      Hi Zack,

      We are happy to hear that the sound quality is good for your first pair of high-end headphones, but we sincerely apologize for the frustrating connectivity issues you are experiencing with the Sony app and the inconsistent Ambient Sound Mode. Since the app connection is unstable and Ambient Mode requires frequent re-connection, please ensure both the headphones and the Sony Headphone Connect app are updated to the latest versions, and then try performing an initialization (factory reset) on the headphones, as this often resolves communication bugs and restores full functionality.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

    Sound quality was alright, not what I was expecting. Overall fit was nice and comfortable to wear, but would press on my head after a long time. Feels cheap, your fingerprints will get everywhere. It’s almost a puzzle to fold it into the case, and the differences between each mode are very noticeable and would probably never use them.

      Hello Ryan,

      Thank you for considering Sony products.

      We are sincerely sorry for the inconvenience and the disappointment you’ve experienced with your WH-1000XM6 headphones. It is clear that the sound, build feel, and ease of use did not align with your expectations, and we apologize for the frustration this has caused. This is certainly not up to the quality standards we strive for, and we take your concerns very seriously.

      We want to assure you that we will forward your feedback regarding the material finish and the folding design to our dedicated Sony team for their thorough review as we continue to work diligently to enhance our products.

      In the meantime, we would like to provide some steps that may help improve your experience:

      1. Optimizing Sound Quality: If the default sound isn't what you expected, we recommend using the Sony Sound Connect app. We suggest toggling through different Equalizer presets like "Bright" or "Excited," or creating a custom profile to better suit your ears. You can see a walkthrough of these features here: https://youtu.be/7vPJ97Gy6l8?si=yX3Akj88Rbp8sF3w

      2. Improving Comfort and Fit: To reduce the pressure on your head during long sessions, we suggest adjusting the headband sliders so they are extended equally on both sides. This ensures the earcups sit flush against your ears and prevents the headband from pulling too tightly against the crown of your head.

      3. Maintaining the Finish: Because of the premium matte finish, natural oils can transfer easily. We recommend using a soft, dry microfiber cloth to wipe down the earcups after use to keep them looking new and free of fingerprints.

      We’re committed to helping you resolve this issue. If the problem persists, please reach out to our dedicated support team for further assistance and advanced troubleshooting.

      You can find all the contact options and helpful resources here: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones
