      Hello NoelL,

      Thank you for your fantastic review! We're so pleased to hear you're enjoying the amazing sound, noise cancellation, and transparency mode on your WH-1000XM6 headphones.

      The Dual Noise Sensor technology is a key part of what makes the noise cancellation so effective. It uses two microphones on each earcup to capture ambient noise and process it for an even more immersive listening experience, allowing you to seamlessly switch between full quiet and a clear awareness of your surroundings.

      Thanks for choosing Sony, and have a wonderful day!

    Great When They Work Correctly

    Beware potential buyers, the Sony xm6 headphones work great while not broken. Unfortunately they break way too easily. For reference, I have bought the previous 3 headphones in this series (xm4, xm5, xm6). All have broken within a year and a half, and these broke in 4 months. As some have mentioned, these headphones can get pretty warm, which can obviously lead to sweating a bit, especially in warm areas. In just 4 months, whenever it gets remotely hot out, or I sweat even a little, there is a crackling sound when using the noise cancelling in the right earpad. I've found out it was condensation building up in the headphones that caused it. Sony support is even worse. Their text support is nearly non-functional, with agents randomly ending chats, making it nearly impossible to get through one fully. Call support isn't much better, as I was told I would have to send the headphones in for them to "determine" if the pair was truly defective to get a new pair sent, a process that could "take 2-3 weeks" according to Sony support. I work from home, so having no sound for that long a time is not possible for me. Of course I could buy a cheap pair of stand in headphones, but the point is that a 450 dollar pair of headphones should last longer than 4 months. I've had similar issues with previous models as well. TLDR: Great when they work, but the fragility of these headphones make it hard to recommend for the price.

      Thank you for the amazing review, Nick!

      We are thrilled to hear that the WH-1000XM6 has been a worthy upgrade from your XM3s! It’s great to know that you’re enjoying the step up in noise canceling and sound quality.

      We also appreciate your feedback regarding the headband design. We know that comfort is subjective, especially when moving from a long-time favorite like the XM3, and we're glad to hear you're settling into the new fit. It’s also fantastic that you’re taking full advantage of the ability to use LDAC and your custom Equalizer settings at the same time for that high-resolution, personalized audio experience!

      Hi HumbertoL,
      Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the WH-1000XM6! We're happy you consider them "Good headphones" overall.

      About the sound quality, you can customize it to be exactly what you like using the Sony | Sound Connect app.
      Here are the simplest things you can do right now to make the sound better:

      -Go into the app and look for the Equalizer settings. You can play around with the sliders to change how the music sounds.

      -Inside the app, find the setting called DSEE Extreme. This feature uses our smart technology to try and make compressed music sound closer to high resolution audio. It can really add detail and a sense of space to the music.

      -In the app's system settings, make sure the "Bluetooth Connection Quality" is set to "Prioritize Sound Quality" instead of "Prioritize Stable Connection." This allows the headphones to use better streaming formats like LDAC for clearer audio (if your phone supports it).

      Give those a try!

      We appreciate your business and thank you for choosing Sony headphones!
