Just what I was looking for
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I typically use this style of headphones for guided meditation. There are vey distinct sounds and tones that are required in order for the session to become truly effective. Previously I had bought the Bose Ultra but they were not meeting my expectations. I was on the fence of buying these for a while because it’s an expensive device. After a few months of contemplating, I caved in and I’m so glad that I did! The sound quality out of the box was just like the Bose Ultras however the sound truly gets unlocked when you download the app. I am no sound expert but I know what I like. The app is able to run a fit test and sound test to fit YOUR needs. Then it gives you an EQ setting based on your preferences. (You can also adjust the results to really narrow down your needs)

Volume control issue
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.More comfortable than the AirPod Max, but less than the Bose equivalent. The volume control swipe is terrible. Wish they had a physical volume control.

Posted .Thank you for your feedback, Jake.
We are glad to hear that you find the wh1000xm6 more comfortable than the AirPods Max! We put a lot of focus on the weight and pressure distribution, so it’s great to know that is paying off for you.
We also appreciate your honest thoughts on the volume control swipe. We know that touch gestures can have a learning curve compared to physical buttons, and we value your preference for a more tactile volume control. Feedback like yours is essential as we continue to refine the user interface for our future models.
Thank you for choosing Sony and for sharing your experience!

Gift for sibling
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these Sony headphones as a Christmas gift for my sister, and they turned out to be one of the best gifts I’ve given. The sound quality is incredibly clear and balanced, with deep bass and crisp vocals, and she noticed the difference immediately compared to her old pair. She uses them daily now for music, calls, and travel. The comfort level is excellent — she wears them for hours without any ear fatigue, and the padding feels premium. The noise cancellation is also very impressive and blocks out background noise far better than expected. Setup was quick and easy, and the battery life has been outstanding so far. Overall, this felt like a high-quality, reliable gift that was truly appreciated. I’d definitely recommend these Sony headphones to anyone looking for a great mix of sound, comfort, and performance — especially if you’re buying for someone special.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing transparency mode and noise cancelling. I've been using the Airpods Max for years because of the said features and I'm glad to made the switch with the XM6. Much, much better and more comfortable than the Airpods Max. And the carrying case is a huge plus.

Nice headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Extremely comfortable with glasses and extra earring piercings. Noise is canceled pretty well. My only issue is every time I cough, sneeze or any other sudden sound around me the ambient sound shifts automatically turning noise canceling feature off. I have manually turn noise canceling back on. It would be nice to be set the ambient sound control to stay on noise canceling no matter what sound is happening around me.

Posted .Thank you so much for your detailed feedback, TammyM! We’re thrilled that you find the WH-1000XM6 headphones comfortable, especially with glasses and piercings, and that the noise canceling performance meets your expectations.
Regarding your experience with noise canceling automatically switching off when you cough, sneeze, or there’s a sudden loud noise: this is an intended function of the adaptive sound controls, which are designed to optimize your listening experience and situational awareness by temporarily adjusting settings in response to certain environmental triggers.
We recognize that this auto-switching can sometimes be disruptive for users who prefer uninterrupted noise canceling. While it’s not currently possible to fully disable these auto-adjustments and keep NC mode continuously on, we encourage you to update both your headphones and the Sony | Sound Connect app to the latest version, as newer firmware may offer improved control or adjustments over these features. You can also review the adaptive sound and noise canceling options in the app settings—disabling features like Adaptive Sound Control or Speak-to-Chat may help minimize these unwanted changes.
We appreciate your suggestion for a persistent noise canceling mode—feedback like yours is valuable in guiding future updates and feature improvements. We will be sure to share your experience with our development team.
Thank you for choosing Sony!

Is good but need better design
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Has a excelent sound, noise cancelation i didn't listed the person in my side, the control for volume and changed sound is great. The confort is no good, the ear touch the cloth that come inside, need to be deeper, the ear cups are small and don't cover of the ear.

Posted .Hi Deeel,
We are thrilled to hear you find the sound quality excellent and the Noise Cancellation effective enough that you "didn't listed the person in my side," which is the core performance we strive for, and we are glad the touch controls are working great for you. However, we sincerely apologize that the shallow ear cups are causing discomfort by allowing your ear to touch the internal cloth. We recommend that users experiencing this comfort issue consider looking for thicker, custom-depth replacement ear pads from specialized third-party accessory makers, which often resolves the depth problem while maintaining the impressive ANC performance you enjoy.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

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,
Dominick

Great replacement for Apple AirPod Max
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are amazing! The noise canceling is next level – I can throw them on anywhere and it’s like the outside world disappears. The sound quality is super clear with great bass, and everything I listen to just sounds better on these. They’re really comfortable too, even after wearing them for hours. Battery life is awesome – I barely have to think about charging. Pairing is super easy and the touch controls make them simple to use. If you’re looking for headphones that do it all – comfort, sound, and noise canceling – the Sony WH-1000XM6 is totally worth it!
