Hello Smoak,

Thank you for considering Sony products.

We sincerely apologize for the discomfort you're experiencing with the WH-1000XM6 headphones. While we're glad to hear you appreciate the audio quality, we understand that comfort is equally important, and your feedback is taken very seriously.

To help improve your experience, please ensure the headphones are worn correctly, as proper positioning can significantly enhance comfort and reduce heat buildup. You can find detailed guidance on how to wear the unit for optimal comfort here: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2984/v1/en/contents/TP1001861255.html

Hi Brea,

That is wonderful feedback! We are thrilled that you are so glad you purchased the WH-1000XM6 Headphones and are enjoying the clean sound quality and excellent noise canceling. Thanks for choosing Sony.

Hi OccasionalBuyer,

We are sorry to hear that your experience with the WH-1000XM6 has not met your expectations, especially after moving from the XM5. The issues you described—poor sound quality, a "toy-like" microphone, and random shutdowns—are certainly not typical of this model, which features an upgraded QN3 processor and 12-microphone system for improved clarity. We recommend disabling the "Automatic Power Off" setting in the Sony Sound Connect app to address the shutdowns and performing a factory reset (holding the power and noise-canceling buttons for 10 seconds) to resolve potential software glitches affecting the audio; however, if the issues persist, it is very likely you have a defective unit and we encourage you to utilize your warranty for a replacement. Thanks for choosing Sony.

Best regards, Eliab

Hello Pabz,

Thank you for choosing Sony products.

We apologize for any discomfort caused by the tight fit of your WH-1000XM6 headphones and appreciate the importance of a personalized sound experience. To help resolve these issues, please follow the steps below:

Adjusting the Fit: The headband is designed to create a secure seal for optimal noise cancellation. However, you can gently extend the sliders on both sides to achieve a more comfortable fit. Additionally, wearing the headphones slightly further forward or backward on the crown of your head may help reduce pressure.

For detailed instructions on adjusting the fit, please visit: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2984/v1/en/contents/TP1001861255.html

Equalizer Feedback: We value your feedback on the equalizer settings. We recommend watching this helpful video to explore the equalizer feature and learn how to fine-tune it for enhanced sound quality: https://youtu.be/AEeLJM4tZyM
