Great ANC. Pretty flat audio. Bulky.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great ANC. Pretty flat audio. They are too bulky to comfortably Have them around your neck when not using them. I hear the hinges are weak, but I cannot speak to that as I didn't keep them long enough.

Posted .Hi TrashMetalPanda,
We feel privileged to know you were impressed with the great Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) performance of the WH-1000XM6 headphones!
We hear your feedback regarding the sound profile and the bulkiness when worn around the neck. We want to assure you that you can easily customize the sound to your preference using the Sony Headphones Connect app. The app features a robust Equalizer (EQ) that allows you to boost bass, enhance treble, or select from various presets to create a listening profile that suits your taste.
We also appreciate your note on the design for future consideration. Thank you for choosing Sony!

Amazing Features, Below Average Sonic Performance
|Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones were a massive letdown. The soundstage feels super small and cramped, the mids are super weak, the bass is largely absent, and the treble does not stick out of the texture at all. And adjusting the EQ just makes things worse, like if I increase the treble it sticks out as it should but it sounds thin and strained. Increasing the bass overdrives it by quite a bit and it sounds boomy and like I’m listening underwater. I showed them to a few other of my audiophile friends and we all came to the same conclusion. My AirPods Pro 2 have a larger, more full soundstage. My Arctis Nova Pro Wireless’ (yes it is a very different headset) sound worlds more full and precise. Now, as the title says, the features are awesome. They are super comfortable, the battery is plenty big, the dual connections was super convenient, the swipes are intuitive and easy to use. But they just don’t sound good at all. If these were ~$150 then maybe, but for $450?? No way.

Posted .Hi Cyhu,
It is truly wonderful to know that you are enjoying the audio performance of your WH-1000XM6 even when noise canceling is turned off!
The exceptional sound quality you mentioned is driven by our new custom driver unit featuring a lightweight carbon fiber dome, which was masterfully engineered to deliver rich vocals and incredible clarity across all frequencies. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the finish. We chose these premium, smooth-touch materials for their sleek aesthetic and lightweight comfort, which is essential for our most comfortable headband design yet.
Thank you for choosing Sony!

Is good but need better design
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Has a excelent sound, noise cancelation i didn't listed the person in my side, the control for volume and changed sound is great. The confort is no good, the ear touch the cloth that come inside, need to be deeper, the ear cups are small and don't cover of the ear.

Posted .Hi Deeel,
We are thrilled to hear you find the sound quality excellent and the Noise Cancellation effective enough that you "didn't listed the person in my side," which is the core performance we strive for, and we are glad the touch controls are working great for you. However, we sincerely apologize that the shallow ear cups are causing discomfort by allowing your ear to touch the internal cloth. We recommend that users experiencing this comfort issue consider looking for thicker, custom-depth replacement ear pads from specialized third-party accessory makers, which often resolves the depth problem while maintaining the impressive ANC performance you enjoy.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like it but my concern is two things. One when you lie down the left side has some bottom that activates and it’s a little annoying. The second one is that when you are connecting with your iPhone listening to music and you get I call you need your hands for accepted or not.

Posted .Hi Marcosafa,
We are sorry to hear about these concerns with your WH-1000XM6 headphones. To prevent accidental button presses while lying down, we recommend adjusting your head position or using the Sony | Headphones Connect app to customize or disable specific button functions. Regarding calls, you can enable "Speak-to-Chat" or use voice assistants like Siri to accept calls hands-free.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
