Great sound, some minor issues with Bluetooth uh
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really don’t have a lot to say about audio quality or the noise cancellation. Both are very good. I have a few issues that I wanted to mention. One is that I have to go into the Bluetooth settings, turn off Bluetooth, turn it back on, and then try to connect my headphones to my iPhone 17. I have to do this every time. The problem may be with my iPhone but I find this inconvenient. The second issue is with the case. A lot of of the reviewers online gave great reviews to the case. I would as well, but with one qualification. You have to fold the headphones exactly right or they won’t fit in the case. It takes some practice. The case is important to me because I use these for my commute on the train. I am putting them on and taking them off pretty frequently so the case is a big issue. Other than these issues I’m pretty happy so far.

We’re glad to hear you’re happy with the audio and noise cancellation on your WH-1000XM6! We appreciate your honest feedback regarding the folding process for the case; it definitely has a specific "rhythm" to it, especially when you're on a busy commute.
Regarding that Bluetooth connection hurdle with your iPhone, we’d like to help smooth that out so you don't have to toggle settings every time.

Can block almsot any noise.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly i was very hesitant on buying this. I was originally going to go for the Airpods Max but after much reviewing I decided to go for this product, and omg did it kill my concerns. Its got a comfortable battery life, making it so you dont have to worry about charging it daily (though id recommend still doing so) but it alos blocks out almost all noise. Its honestly amazing.

Best headphones I have ever used!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best headphones i have ever used (so far). Excellent sound quality and features. The one downside is the finish on these shows finger prints very easily, it is very annoying but not enough to affect my view of them. The battery life is incredible, i have them a lot and have only charged like twice.

Couldn't be happier!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These sound amazing! The fact that they're so light and carry a punchy sound make them even more awesome. I was going back and forth between this and the apple airpod Max's but they were too heavy and didn't have a deeper bass compared to the Sony's. I got them for my wife as I still use my XM4's. I can say sound wise it isn't a huge upgrade from the XM4's but they've upgraded the noise cancellation and the sidetone feature drastically. Solid buy nonetheless and my wife loves it which is the most important thing as a husband haha
