    Hands down one of the best wireless headphones I've ever used. Top tier quality, amazing customization options in the app, and two-device connection. Phenomenal work by Sony.

    Smart features disappointing.

    First, the sound quality was excellent. I have never cared for over-emphasized bass of many popular headphones. These stay clear and distinctive, even in a crowded soundscape. The noise cancelation is excellent, even allowing me to lower the volume and listen at a quieter volume without outside noise at the gym drowning out the music. I ended up returning these for a couple of reasons. The smart features on these headphones are not as good as I am used to. My pixel buds have spoiled me for voice detection and auto-pausing, and sensing when I remove the earbuds. The Sonys would detect sound from outside as me speaking and pause randomly. Finally, I have an existing pair of noise canceling headphones which are not as good, but not better enough to justify a $500 purchase. If you have nothing else recent, this is a great place to start. I don't think you will be disappointed.

      Hi MatthewB,

      Thank you for your candid 4-star review of the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones! We truly value your detailed feedback, which helps us continuously improve our products.

      It's fantastic to hear that you experienced the clear, distinctive sound quality and excellent noise cancellation that the WH-1000XM6 are renowned for. We're especially pleased that our noise-canceling technology allowed you to enjoy your music at a lower, safer volume, even in a noisy gym environment.

      We also appreciate your honest thoughts on the smart features. We understand that features like Speak-to-Chat and wearing detection, while designed for convenience, can sometimes react unexpectedly in certain environments. We understand your decision to return the headphones, and your feedback on the smart features is very valuable as we continue to refine our technology.

      Thanks for considering Sony products, have a great day!

      Hi ChrisP,

      We are thrilled to hear you find the WH-1000XM6 headphones great and very comfortable! If you're looking for a boost in volume, please check the Sony Headphones Connect app to ensure the volume limiter is off. Additionally, confirm that the volume setting on your source device (phone, tablet, etc.) is maximized, as some apps or operating systems have their own volume caps. Thanks for choosing Sony.

    Bought Specifically to use on the plane for Noise Cancelling and watching movies and these work wonderful. It blocks off all sound and when needed, you can tap the headphones and hear so clearly. I actually amplifies the voices allowing you to hear people talking clearer than with out using them. If you are a frequent traveler then these will work wonders on the plaine/train

      Thank you for sharing your experience and positive feedback on the WH-1000XM6, Mark. We’re glad to hear you’re noticing significant improvements over previous models and making the most of the dual device connectivity throughout your workday.

      With the WH-1000XM6, Sony aimed to address a number of user-requested enhancements. Community and early user impressions highlight several notable upgrades:

      - Advanced noise cancellation, powered by a next-generation processor reportedly “7x faster,” delivers even more effective blocking of distractions and real-time sound adaptation compared to the already strong performance in the XM5 and XM4.
      - Improved comfort and durability with a wider, reinforced headband, as well as a more compact and sturdy travel case, responding directly to feedback about the XM5’s case size and headband flexibility.
      - Enhanced call quality with the addition of a twelfth microphone, which is especially valuable for frequent business calls.
      - Multipoint (dual device) connectivity has been refined, making it even easier to switch between work laptops and phones—ideal for users who rely on these features to stay productive and connected.

      Your feedback confirms that these updates bring daily value and justify the upgrade for XM4 and XM5 users seeking the latest improvements in comfort, sound, and usability.

      Thank you again for your detailed review—it’s direct experiences like yours that help inform ongoing development and ensure Sony headphones continue to set the standard for audio performance and convenience.

    I've been looking for new headphones for a while, after always struggling to keep AirPods in my ears while traveling or at the gym. I tested Bose, Beats, and every other brand. But Sony has set the bar incredibly high with this model. Tuning into my music makes me feel like I am listening to the artist perform right in the studio. The quality and the noise cancellation are top tier. Would highly recommend to anyone!

    I never thought that the XM4s would ever be outclassed, but these take the cake by a mile. Going back to my XM4s while at the gym is an insane difference in sound quality, clarity and "space". The "space" of the sound for the XM4s is like this: "| |", but for the XM6s its more like this: "| |". Way better. My ONLY complaint is that the pads on the XM6s are a little too thin, but with 3rd party companies working on replacement pads that'll be a non-issue soon. 10/10.
