Decent ANC headphones too tight on my head
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .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

Buy WH-1000XM5, WH-1000XM6 is terrible
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wish I stayed with my WH-1000XM5 replacement. My WH-1000XM5 started to make a high pitch noise. I had the option to replace it with a new WH-1000XM5 or pay the difference and upgrade to WH-1000XM6. I upgraded. The sound in WH-1000XM6 is terrible compared to WH-1000XM5. Also, the microphone is terrible, sounds like a toy mic. Plus, the headphone continually shuts down without me doing anything. Could I have a defective headphone?

Posted .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

Worth every penny!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Coming from the airpod pro 2’s, these have been night and day better in every aspect. I’m heavy into the apple ecosystem but after my experience with the AirPods, I made the decision to jump ship because of quality and longevity concerns.

Posted .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
If you need further assistance or would like more information about your unit, please do not hesitate to contact our support team: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones

Welcome to the latest generation! The WH-1000XM3 was a classic, but we are so glad you’re enjoying the upgrade to the XM6.

Great sound quality. Terrible comfort
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony XM6 headphones have great ANC and I was very impressed by the sound quality once I tuned it to my liking via the Sony app. However, I had to return the XM6 because wearing them for any extended period of time was actually hurting my ears no matter how I adjusted the fitting. They have very thin padding and the ear cups are so shallow that my ears were pressing against the ANC mics in the headphones. If I pay more than $400 for a product I prefer that it doesn't inflict pain when I use it. I decided to replace the XM6 with the Bose QC Ultra which do not quite match the XM6 when it comes to sound quality but I can wear them without any discomfort which is a great plus!
