    Love Sony products. Had a 1000xm4 that I was using for about 3 years, with about 8 hours a day usage. Moisture got into one of the mics and decided to just buy these to try out as a replacement, and they've been superb.

      Hi TayA,

      We are thrilled to hear that the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones are one of the best you've ever owned!

      It’s incredibly rewarding to know that you've noticed the significant leap in performance, especially coming from the excellent XM4s. We put a lot of focus into improving the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) to deliver a truly unparalleled listening experience, and your feedback confirms we achieved that goal.

      Thank you for sharing your experience and for being a loyal Sony customer!

      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.

      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!

      Hi CHUD!
      Thanks so much for your review of the WH-1000XM6.

      Regarding the email and text alerts, those are actually controlled by your iPhone's "Announce Notifications" feature rather than the headphones themselves. You can easily turn this off by going to your iPhone Settings and toggling it off.

    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
