Great sound, some minor issues with Bluetooth uh
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really don’t have a lot to say about audio quality or the noise cancellation. Both are very good. I have a few issues that I wanted to mention. One is that I have to go into the Bluetooth settings, turn off Bluetooth, turn it back on, and then try to connect my headphones to my iPhone 17. I have to do this every time. The problem may be with my iPhone but I find this inconvenient. The second issue is with the case. A lot of of the reviewers online gave great reviews to the case. I would as well, but with one qualification. You have to fold the headphones exactly right or they won’t fit in the case. It takes some practice. The case is important to me because I use these for my commute on the train. I am putting them on and taking them off pretty frequently so the case is a big issue. Other than these issues I’m pretty happy so far.

We’re glad to hear you’re happy with the audio and noise cancellation on your WH-1000XM6! We appreciate your honest feedback regarding the folding process for the case; it definitely has a specific "rhythm" to it, especially when you're on a busy commute.
Regarding that Bluetooth connection hurdle with your iPhone, we’d like to help smooth that out so you don't have to toggle settings every time.

Best headphones ever!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these headphones after doing a bit of research. I had high hopes for them, but still not fully expecting what I would recieve. I tried them on and was instantly blown away by their noise cancellation and other features such as hand over ear which makes it easy to hear others around you. The way you can raise the volume or skip songs. Its all swiping makes it so much easier than buttons that can break. They are so comfortable I never get tired wearing them and I wear them all day at school or when I workout. 10/10 product worth the money!

Can block almsot any noise.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly i was very hesitant on buying this. I was originally going to go for the Airpods Max but after much reviewing I decided to go for this product, and omg did it kill my concerns. Its got a comfortable battery life, making it so you dont have to worry about charging it daily (though id recommend still doing so) but it alos blocks out almost all noise. Its honestly amazing.

Husband approves!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these for my husband because he needed good over the ear headphones with noise canceling and great sound. I didn’t associate Sony with a higher end experience, but our son brought these to our attention. I listened to several brands at the store before purchasing and these had the best sound. We just returned from Europe and he used them during our 8+ hr flights and was not disappointed.

Posted .Hi TIFFANYB,
It’s a true pleasure to hear that your husband's new headphones made his long flights to Europe so enjoyable. We love knowing that your son's recommendation led you to try us out, and that hearing the superior sound quality in person won you over! Delivering a premium audio experience is something we take great pride in, especially for those long travel days where great noise canceling makes all the difference.

1000xm6
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wanted to upgrade from my xm3s and xm6 did not disappoint. Loved the noise cancellation on this. The clamping force feels strong in the initial days but when I used it for a couple of days, I grew accustomed to the force and now it feels so comfortable. The cafe mode is something that I am using on a regular basis and that just sets the mood while working. Also got a chance to do a bit of gaming (valorant) and it passed with flying colors. Would highly recommend if someone is coming from xm3s or xm4s. And for the people with xm5s (maybe suffering from hinge issues) I kind of feel the hinge here is good, no signs of breaking.

These are amazing headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My niece has been researching what would be the best overhead heaphones and stumbled upon the xm series. She decided to wait a year until these ones came out and brought them. Not only is the noice canceling fantastic, but so is is the ambient sound mode for when she commutes by foot and bus. The sound quality is phenomenal and theyre so easy to use with the app. Oh and the battery lasts days even with hours of use. Shes only charged them about 4 times, theyve never died, and shes had them for 2 months. I have yet to see her without them on!

Best Sony noise cancelling headphones yet
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Sony headphones yet, improved on all of the previous versions. I had the XM4's, and skipped on the XM5's because of hinge issues and the sound was not as good. Now the XM6's incorporate the foldable design from the XM4's, and also the sound is way better, super well balanced, treble and midrange is clear, bass is balanced. The XM4's had bad treble and midrange clarity but the XM6's improved on that. The bass on the XM6's is also not as boomy as the XM4's. Good upgrade

Excellent headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is almost perfect. Noise canceling is just right. The pads are a little too soft and get pushed behind the hard plastic, so the plastic is what's pushing on your head, but they stay on your head. The controls are great and responsive, but there's a feature that turns off the controls when the headphones are not on your head. They have a lot of interesting features that are useful, and the equalizer is perfectly customizable.

Posted .Thank you for the detailed feedback, Spyro!
We are so glad to hear the near-perfect sound quality, just-right noise canceling, and customizable equalizer are hitting the mark for you!
We also really appreciate you calling out the ear pad fit and the touch control sensor behavior. Knowing that the cushion can compress enough for the plastic to press against your head, and that the auto-off control feature is something you noticed, is super helpful context for us. We want these to be as comfortable as they are smart, so we are definitely passing your notes along to our engineering team to look into for future tweaks.

The Best
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've tried all types of headphones, and these are the best when combining sound, comfort, and noise cancellation. The LDAC codec lets you listen to HD quality music with almost any Android phone. If you have an iPhone, there is a small adapter you can buy on Amazon from Questyle.

Posted .Hi DarylD,
It’s rewarding to hear that after testing various models, you have found our latest flagship headphones to be the ultimate benchmark for audio, comfort, and silence!
To achieve this level of performance, we integrated the all-new HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3, which operates seven times faster than its predecessor to optimize 12 individual microphones in real-time. This processing power ensures that our industry-leading noise cancellation adapts instantly to your environment, while the carbon fiber composite 30mm drivers deliver the studio-quality precision that audiophiles expect. We are also glad you mentioned the LDAC support; by allowing for a transmission rate of 990 kbps, we ensure that High-Resolution Audio is preserved wirelessly, giving you the richest possible soundscape regardless of your device.
Thank you for choosing Sony and for sharing your helpful setup tips with the community!
