Customer Ratings & Reviews

Hi Mohammad,

We are glad you enjoy the sound quality but apologize that the headphones cause discomfort after an hour. Discomfort is often resolved by adjusting the fit; please try gently repositioning the headband height and earcup angle to ensure the earpads sit lightly around your ears, reducing pressure points for better comfort during long listening sessions.

Thanks for choosing Sony.

Best regards, Eliab

Hi Reilly,

Thank you for the feedback. I've adjusted the previous reply to be shorter while still addressing all your points:

We are thrilled you love the WH-1000XM6 headphones! We apologize that wearing them with your larger framed glasses causes irritation after extended use. To address the pressure, try adjusting your glasses' arms to rest higher or lower on the ear padding, or gently stretch the headband over a few books overnight to slightly reduce the clamping force.

Thanks for choosing Sony.

Best regards,
Eliab

It's great to know you're experiencing that huge upgrade in noise cancellation, especially on the plane – that's precisely what we aim for with our industry-leading technology. And we're glad the slightly stronger clamping force is benefiting your workouts by keeping them secure. It's also good to hear that initial discomfort resolved itself, leading to smooth sailing and very comfortable wear.

Thanks for choosing Sony, have a fantastic day!

Hi Kartier,

Thanks for sharing your experience! It's fantastic to hear that the WH-1000XM6 has been such a major upgrade for you, even coming from the excellent XM5s.

You've highlighted some of the key improvements we focused on with this model, including the enhanced comfort and the return to a folding case design. We know the folding feature was highly requested by our customers, and it's great to hear that you appreciate the change.

And thank you for the feedback on the noise cancellation. It's a huge point of pride for us, and hearing that you consider it the "best by far" is a fantastic compliment.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, IndT.

We are delighted to hear that you are enjoying the very good quality of your WH-1000XM6 headphones, particularly the clear music sound and the strong battery life!

We are, however, concerned to hear about the recent issue where some of your music is no longer playing well. This kind of audio skipping or intermittent sound can sometimes be related to Bluetooth connection quality settings, especially when transferring high-resolution audio.

We would like to help you resolve this right away so you don't need to use your protection plan for a minor issue. We recommend trying this quick fix in the Sony | Headphones Connect app:

Go to the Sound tab.

Find the setting for Bluetooth Connection Quality.

If it is currently set to Prioritize Sound Quality, please try changing it to Prioritize Stable Connection.

This simple change often resolves unexpected audio playback issues.

If this step does not fix the problem, please reach out to our support team directly at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones. Our specialists can guide you through other troubleshooting steps, such as performing a software update or a full reset.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and look forward to ensuring your listening experience is consistently excellent!

Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team

Thank you for sharing your journey and for the strong recommendation!

We appreciate your choice of Sony!
