Posted .Hello Pabz,
Thank you for choosing Sony products.
We apologize for any discomfort caused by the tight fit of your WH-1000XM6 headphones and appreciate the importance of a personalized sound experience. To help resolve these issues, please follow the steps below:
Adjusting the Fit: The headband is designed to create a secure seal for optimal noise cancellation. However, you can gently extend the sliders on both sides to achieve a more comfortable fit. Additionally, wearing the headphones slightly further forward or backward on the crown of your head may help reduce pressure.
For detailed instructions on adjusting the fit, please visit: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2984/v1/en/contents/TP1001861255.html
Equalizer Feedback: We value your feedback on the equalizer settings. We recommend watching this helpful video to explore the equalizer feature and learn how to fine-tune it for enhanced sound quality: https://youtu.be/AEeLJM4tZyM
If you need further assistance or would like more information about your unit, please do not hesitate to contact our support team: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones

Could be better
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, not impressed. I expected that there would be more customizing features (like conventional equalizers available, which were not). The sound was not as customizable as I would like

Posted .Hi JDell,
Thanks for the review. We really appreciate you sharing your honest thoughts on the WH-1000XM6. We're sorry to hear they haven't impressed you yet, especially since you were looking for more ways to change the sound.
We have some tools inside the Sony | Sound Connect app that might help you get things just right:
-Custom EQ Slots: In the app, you can find "Custom" settings. This lets you move the sliders yourself to change the bass or treble exactly how you want.
-Clear Bass: You can use this specific slider to make the bass stronger or lighter without making the music sound fuzzy.
We hope this helps!
Thanks for considering Sony. We’re always looking for ways to improve, so we truly value feedback like this.
Warm regards,
Estefany

Top tier sound, bad comfort
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is amazing and the EQ settings they allow you to change is crazy compared to boses 3 setting EQ settings. The comfort is horrible, there is no padding and you can feel the ANC microphone in your ear at times.

Posted .Hi JPLR,
Thank you for your feedback! We are honored to hear you are enjoying the industry-leading EQ customization and sound quality of the WH-1000XM6. We aim to provide a superior audio experience, so we're glad that part is hitting the mark.
We are sorry to hear about the discomfort you're experiencing. You should not be able to feel the internal components against your ears. To improve the fit and comfort, we recommend the following:
1. Check Headband Adjustment: Ensure the headband is adjusted so the earcups sit centered over your ears. If the headband is too loose, the earcups may tilt, causing the internal hardware to make contact with your ear.
2. Adjust Orientation: Adjust the orientation of the left and right units so that the earpads fit snugly all around your ears.
We hope those recommendations help. For further details about wearing the headphones and maximizing comfort, please visit:
