Big issue was BestBuy Customer Service
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headset was jsut too tight for my head. That's just a personal thing. It took me two weeks and 3 days to figure that out. Put me just outside the insanely short two week return window. Seems everyone else provides 30 days. Anyway, BestBuy wouldnt budge. Im stuck trying to dump them on Ebay for a loss. I tore up my Bestbuy CC.

Could be better
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, not impressed. I expected that there would be more customizing features (like conventional equalizers available, which were not). The sound was not as customizable as I would like

Posted .Hi JDell,
Thanks for the review. We really appreciate you sharing your honest thoughts on the WH-1000XM6. We're sorry to hear they haven't impressed you yet, especially since you were looking for more ways to change the sound.
We have some tools inside the Sony | Sound Connect app that might help you get things just right:
-Custom EQ Slots: In the app, you can find "Custom" settings. This lets you move the sliders yourself to change the bass or treble exactly how you want.
-Clear Bass: You can use this specific slider to make the bass stronger or lighter without making the music sound fuzzy.
We hope this helps!
Thanks for considering Sony. We’re always looking for ways to improve, so we truly value feedback like this.
Warm regards,
Estefany

Posted .Thank you for the review, chunkees!
Welcome to the latest generation! The WH-1000XM3 was a classic, but we are so glad you’re enjoying the upgrade to the XM6. You’ll definitely notice the jump in noise-canceling precision and the improved voice pickup for calls. It’s a huge step forward and we’re thrilled it’s living up to the legacy for you!
Thank you for choosing Sony!

wh-1000xm4 still the best for DRUMMERS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had high hopes for these cans but just like the xm5's they disappointed me (from a drummer's standpoint). Too boomy on the lows when hitting the floor tom and other low end instruments. It looks like I'll be using my trusty old wh-1000xm4's for the next 3 years. If it wasn't $450 I might keep them around for other purposes, but the price alone is ridiculous, as is all the other brands.

Sony M6 headphones are fantastic ...but!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They were phenomenal...But (always a but) the connection to attach to external audio did not function properly. I connected wire on plane but could only get left side and subsequently I got no audio on plane or even when connected to job computer. No audio. Crazy but true. This happened May 24,2025 and upon returning to office post flight.

Uncomfortable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They sound great but they're insanely uncomfortable. After about an hour the oressure on my ears becomes unbearable. I don't know who they designed these for, but clearly they didn't have human adult heads in mind. People say they loosen up over time but I've been using them daily for months and they still put way too much pressure on my ears. Way overpriced for such a lack of ergonomics.

Posted .Hello SeanF,
Thanks for reaching out to us about your WH-1000XM6 headphones. We're genuinely sorry to hear that you're finding them insanely uncomfortable even after months of daily use. That's definitely not the experience we want you to have.
We recommend you take a moment to review the official Sony Help Guide on how to properly wear the headset. Sometimes a very slight, specific adjustment can completely relieve pressure points.
Please check out this link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2984/v1/en/contents/TP1001861255.html
We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed feedback about the comfort and ergonomics of the headphones. Receiving specific input like this is incredibly valuable to us.
Thanks for considering Sony products. We apologize for your experience.
Sincerely,
Estefany

The best noise cancellation
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had beats and Bose, these beat both of them. True noise cancellation. A little pricy but worth it in my opinion. Easy setup and use with app.

Thanks for that fantastic 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear that you feel the WH-1000XM6 headphones surpass other brands you've used.
