Whether he is using them for studying, commuting, or simply losing himself in his favorite music, the refined comfort and long battery life ensure he can stay immersed all day. We are honored to be the brand behind such a special gift.

Thank you for trusting Sony.

Hi Nick,

Thanks for the review and the detailed explanation on the issues. We are very sorry to hear about the inconveniences encountered, and we will be more than glad to help you out.

For both computer and phone issues, a simple but effective step is to perform a reset or initialization of the headphones. This can resolve various connection and performance glitches by returning the headphones to their factory settings and clearing all pairing information. You can find more information and the steps on how to complete the troubleshooting steps on the following link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2984/v1/en/contents/TP1001856788.html

We hope this helps. In case the problem persists, we highly recommend reaching to our Technical Support team at: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones. They will be able to assist further.

Thanks for the patience, and for considering Sony products.

Thank you for your thoughtful review and fair comparison, BenM. We appreciate your recognition of the WH-1000XM6 as an outstanding choice in its price segment. While brands like Bowers & Wilkins and Mark Levinson target the audiophile market, the WH-1000XM6 stands out by providing exceptional balance of industry-leading noise cancellation, sound quality, and smart features, all at a more accessible price point. For many listeners, the combination of comfort, advanced technology, and overall listening experience offered by the WH-1000XM6 makes it a standout option among premium wireless headphones.

Thanks for choosing Sony!

Thank you for your feedback, LisaK!

We are happy to hear that you are enjoying the industry-leading noise cancellation on your WH-1000XM6. We’re sorry to hear the sound quality didn't quite hit the mark for you right out of the box, but we recommend trying the Equalizer settings in the Sony | Headphones Connect app to customize the audio to your personal taste. Many users find that a quick adjustment to the presets really brings the music to life. Thank you for choosing Sony!
