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

Sony headset is awesome - excellent for travel
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My previous headset broke a day before a long trip. My local BB had this. I can happily say after multiple airplane trips, these work excellent. The Bluetooth paired easily with my phone and with my computer. The automatic noise canceling (ANC) is superb. The battery life is excellent. I love the right ear control double-tap to pause, swipe to change volume all works great.

Very impressed
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Alright the noise canceling capabilities are unbelievable, the ambient mode sounds nearly completely natural, i heard a leaky faucet while in ambient with music playing, they don't sound so airy (like the xm5s), the bass is solid and the new background music mode seems useful. The ai powered theater mode (spacial audio) seems hit & miss but isn't terrible.

Good, but good isn't good enough
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros: calls are clear. Mic is excellent. Battery life is great. Easy to connect to phone. Transparency/awareness mode almost sounds like you're not wearing headphones at all. Neutral: ANC is fine. Hurts my head a bit. Sounds quality is fine. Not blown away. Turned on ldac and all the bells and whistles and can't find any significant improvement over my galaxy buds pro 3s. That said, my music streaming app is YouTube music so I'm not getting high bitrate or lossless audio. Cons: prolonged usage hurts. Wearing them for longer than 2 hours hurts. Maybe I'm just not used to over-the-ear headphones but the perimeter of my ear is in pain. I bought replacement cushions from wicked cushions which did help it go from 2 hours to 3 hours, but still hurts. I still haven't gotten used to how to fold them in order to put them in their case. It's been about 2 weeks now and I still have to be very mindful when I'm putting them away as there is only one right away to put them in the case. They feel so cheap. Yes they're light because they're plastic, but they're unmistakably plastic. Strangely flimsy plastic. Had to turn ldac off in order to maintain a stable audio connection. Otherwise it would cut out pretty often. The "hey headphones" gimmick is just a gimmick. On Galaxy buds I can just say next song, previous song, start music, stop music, volume up, volume down, etc. I don't have to start with hey headphones and then wait for them to acknowledge they heard me. The galaxy way makes it fairly easy to skip through 4 or 5 songs hands free while the Sony way makes me not want to use the feature. The touch controls are somewhat unreliable. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't.

Posted .Hi BojanD,
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback regarding your experience with the WH-1000XM6. We are pleased to hear that you are enjoying the call quality and the transparency mode, though we genuinely appreciate your honesty regarding the comfort, build feel, and touch controls. Please be assured that we will share your comments with our product team as we continuously look for ways to improve our headsets.
To help address the specific performance issues you mentioned, we recommend the following:
1. Improving Noise Canceling: To ensure the ANC is performing at its peak, please run the Auto NC Optimizer within the Sony Sound Connect app. This feature analyzes your wearing conditions and environmental factors to tailor the noise canceling specifically to you.
2. Touch Control Sensitivity: If the touch controls are not responding consistently, it may be due to a poor Bluetooth handshake. Please ensure your device remains within 10 meters (32.8 feet) of the headphones and that there are no major physical obstructions, as this helps the sensors communicate accurately.
3. Headset Storage: We understand that the folding mechanism has a learning curve. For a visual walkthrough on how to properly store the headphones without strain, please refer to our Help Guide: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2984/v1/en/contents/TP1001856874.html
If you would like personalized assistance to further customize your headphones or troubleshoot the connectivity issues, please reach out to our dedicated technical support team here: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones
Thank you for considering Sony!

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.
