    Got this because my roommates are regularly practicing in my house and it does a great job with noise canceling Only thing is the app has a feature to connect to two devices which it automatically changes the output to one device which can be strange at times

      Hi Aaron,

      We are glad to hear the noise canceling is helping you! You can manage or disable the automatic device switching by visiting the "System" tab in the Sony | Sound Connect app and adjusting your Multipoint Connection settings.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

    Had the mx3 and loved them but wanted an upgrade. These work great, only downside for me is they are very tight and hurt after wearing a few hours

      Hi JubileeG,

      We're glad you upgraded from the WH-1000XM3! We're sorry to hear about the discomfort, as new headphones can have a firmer clamping force initially. This typically improves as they break in over time, but you may find relief by slightly extending the headband sliders. You can find more tips on achieving the best fit here: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2984/v1/en/contents/TP1001861255.html

      Thank you for the fantastic review, Unsure!

      We're thrilled that the WH-1000XM6 is hitting that "top-tier" mark for you and outperforming the competition in noise reduction. It’s great to hear they were a worthy upgrade after six years!

      Regarding the earpads, they do tend to soften up and conform to your fit after a week or two of regular use. We appreciate the feedback on the fit as well, as we're always looking to balance world-class ANC with long-term comfort.

      Thanks for choosing Sony for your upgrade!
