Great headphones but a slight upgrade from XM5
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great just like the XM5 were but in my opinion I think the upgrade from the previous model tends to be good better battery, case and new folding cups and background feature.

Posted .Hello MessiIsTheGOAT, thanks for the fantastic review!
We are immensely pleased to hear you're enjoying the WH1000XM6 and noticing the improvements over the XM5. The better battery life, the redesigned case, folding earcups, and new background features –one more enhancement worth nothing is the updated noise cancelling processor, which takes ambient sound control to the next level.
Thanks for appreciating the effort we put on these headphones, and for choosing Sony!
Sincerely,
Jenn.

Don't waste your time, buy these today!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These X6 headphones sound amazing out of the box. I havent had time yet to listen to uncompressed music just yet. But I am sure it will sound amazing since the drivers in these headphones are extremely accurate. If you enjoy music buy these. Life is to short to listen to music you love be muddy and distorted. The noise cancellation in these Sony's are next level too.

Improvement over the xm5, still has app issues
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound quality and interface, improvement over the build of the xm5 as a physical structure. App interface with the phone is a little bit more laggy than the previous iteration, this might get fixed with software updates, unclear.

Posted .Hi NMoon,
We are immensely pleased to hear that you are enjoying the excellent sound quality and the refined physical build of the new WH-1000XM6!
Regarding the app performance you mentioned, we want to ensure your interface experience is as smooth as your listening. To resolve the lag you're seeing, we recommend clearing the cache within your phone's app settings. If that doesn't do the trick, a fresh start by uninstalling and then reinstalling the Sony | Headphones Connect app often resolves these types of software hiccups. This should help the app's responsiveness match the premium performance of the headphones themselves.
Thank you for making Sony part of your daily listening.
Best regards,

Great sound and feel
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The way they look and luxurious premium feel is top notch. The noise cancellation is out of this world. The downside is these cause a lot of sweat on the ear cups due to the material and ears get hot. Hopefully they end up selling replacement ear cups that are breathe able and don’t effect the sound.

Perfect Fit, Perfect Sound, Perfect Headphones!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely incredible sound quality; I was not expecting a noticeable difference between the XM5 and XM6 in sound, nor the Bose Quiet Comfort, but it was immediate improvement in clarity on vocals for several tracks. While features like the Cinema mode don't really impress on music, it was certainly nice to watch a movie with, and latency was not a problem. The build quality feels significantly improved over previous Sony models and the carrying case with the magnetic clasp is also an improvement. The hardest pill to swallow on these is the price, but all other features and qualities considered, they feel justified.

Great sound, but…
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Christmas present. Daughter said sound was amazing and the ability to adjust overall sound was great. She like how the headphone controls work and the seamless integration with all her devices. Downside - because of how the headphones fold , they would not stay “square” on her head. They had a tendency to “twist” while she was wearing them which she found very annoying. Eventually returned & got Bose QV Ultra 2nd Fen.

Posted .Hi PaulG,
Thank you for sharing your feedback and for choosing the WH-1000XM6 as a Christmas gift. We are glad to hear your daughter enjoyed the sound quality, customization options, and the seamless connection with her devices.
We appreciate the specific details regarding the fit and the "twisting" she experienced due to the folding mechanism. Comfort and stability are top priorities for us, and feedback like this is incredibly valuable as we look toward future designs.
Thank you for giving Sony a try!

Perfect Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are an upgrade from my Bose Qc45 headphones which I liked. Every problem that I thought I would have was not there. I thought the touch controls would be annoying, but it really is not intrusive at all. I thought some of the gestures would feel like a gimmick, but I find myself using them regularly. The build quality seems really good. The sound quality is phenomenal. But most importantly, the noise cancelling is genuinely insane. I have tested it in so many places including a crowded, loud arcade and I genuinely could not hear a thing. I love these headphones and they are definitely worth the purchase.
