    The sound quality is amazing as well as the noice cancellation. One issue I have seen with it are the ear cuffs get stained really easily and it is a hassle to wipe them every couple of uses.

    Was a little disappointed. The headphones were ok quality, in the aspects that it just didn’t seem completely clear when listening to music; almost a muffled sound

      Hi LisaS,

      We’re sorry to hear the audio sounds muffled! To improve clarity, we recommend using the Sony | Sound Connect app to set your Bluetooth Connection Quality to "Prioritize Sound Quality" and enabling DSEE Extreme to restore high-end detail. You can also use the Equalizer presets, like "Bright," to sharpen the vocals and reduce any heaviness in the bass.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Hi NKNewton,

      The WH-1000XM6 is a significant step up, and you're right—the ability to listen while charging over USB-C is a crucial quality-of-life feature that fixes a major annoyance from the XM5 model. Beyond that welcome fix, you'll benefit daily from the practical return of the fully foldable design, making them much easier to travel with, and a noticeably improved touch control experience for volume and playback. These minor but important refinements, alongside the superior ANC, really solidify the XM6 as a worthwhile upgrade.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Hi MarcosR,

      It’s rewarding to hear that your WH-1000XM6 headphones performed so exceptionally during your 16-hour flight!

      We specifically engineered this model with long-distance travel in mind, ensuring that the noise-canceling technology can effectively silence cabin pressure and engine hum for extended periods. Knowing that the battery life held up through such a long journey while maintaining total comfort is a testament to our commitment to both stamina and ergonomic design. We are delighted that you could stay immersed in your audio from takeoff to landing without any interruptions.

      Thank you for making Sony part of your travel essentials.

    I bought this as a dedicated listening device for my new television as a curtesy to my neighbors with whom I share thin walls. Personally I prefer the sound from Apple air pods but they had a connecting problem with my tv. Also, the pressure from the Sony headphones is uncomfortable after about an hour of wearing the device. It is therefore, for me, a minimally satisfactory solution for my needs. Others, I am sure, will have more positive things to say about these headphones.

      Hi Displayname,

      We’re sorry to hear that the fit and sound profile aren’t meeting your expectations. For the comfort issue, we recommend adjusting the headband slider to ensure the earcups are centered over your ears, which can help redistribute the clamping pressure. Regarding the audio, you can use the "Equalizer" settings in the Sony | Headphones Connect app to customize the sound to better match the profile you prefer.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

    Sound quality is decent. Not too heavy on the bass which is nice but a bit tinny with higher treble at least in my opinion. Unfortunately to much clamping force on my head so I’ll be retuning them.

      Hi Mocchan,
      Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts with us on the WH-1000XM6 headphones. We're really sorry about the clamping force being uncomfortable. We genuinely want every listening session to be a good one. Sometimes gently stretching the headband a little or adjusting the earcups angle can help loosen things up for a better fit.

      As for the sound, one thing that might help is the Sony | Sound Connect app, there’s a simple built-in EQ, so you can fine-tune the bass and treble to match what sounds best to you.

      Thanks for considering Sony and for your valuable feedback, it really helps us improve.
      Sincerely,
      Estefany Sony_US
