I would recommend this to a friend Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .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.
Best regards, Eliab
Sony 1000xm6 review
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best headphones I ever had my only gripe i wish it had a little soundless fan to keep the ears cool. It's get hot after a while which brings discomfort but other than that. It's perfect.

Posted .Hi BenL,
We’re thrilled to hear that the WH-1000XM6 are the best headphones you've ever owned! It’s great to know that the new QN3 processor and expanded 12-microphone array are providing the "perfect" experience you were looking for. While we don't have a built-in fan, the redesigned headband and soft-fit leather are intended to help with long-term comfort; we appreciate the feedback regarding ear temperature during extended listening sessions. Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab
Its nice but not worth it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They work decent but its not as noise canceling as the description would make you think. Very good but probably not worth 400.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi Bestbuyer,
We are sorry to hear that the noise cancellation did not meet your expectations. To ensure you are getting the best performance, we recommend using the Sony | Headphones Connect app to run the "Adaptive Sound Control" and "Noise Canceling Optimizer," which tailors the silence to your specific environment and fit. Please also ensure the ear pads are creating a firm seal around your ears for maximum isolation.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab

Best noise canceling
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded from my XM4s and these are quite a bit better at noise canceling. While playing music at a pretty low level I cannot hear other people talking at all it’s honestly amazing. I do with the had steps on the hinges so I could always adjust them to the same spot but not the end of the world.
