Worth the upgrade
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the Sony mx5 before and I loved them. I was hesitant to upgrade to the mx6 because of the price tag but after having them for a week now, I’m glad I did. The noise canceling and quality of sound are on a whole other level compare to previous generations. Definitely worth it

Not what I expected…
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality was alright, not what I was expecting. Overall fit was nice and comfortable to wear, but would press on my head after a long time. Feels cheap, your fingerprints will get everywhere. It’s almost a puzzle to fold it into the case, and the differences between each mode are very noticeable and would probably never use them.

Posted .Hello Ryan,
Thank you for considering Sony products.
We are sincerely sorry for the inconvenience and the disappointment you’ve experienced with your WH-1000XM6 headphones. It is clear that the sound, build feel, and ease of use did not align with your expectations, and we apologize for the frustration this has caused. This is certainly not up to the quality standards we strive for, and we take your concerns very seriously.
We want to assure you that we will forward your feedback regarding the material finish and the folding design to our dedicated Sony team for their thorough review as we continue to work diligently to enhance our products.
In the meantime, we would like to provide some steps that may help improve your experience:
1. Optimizing Sound Quality: If the default sound isn't what you expected, we recommend using the Sony Sound Connect app. We suggest toggling through different Equalizer presets like "Bright" or "Excited," or creating a custom profile to better suit your ears. You can see a walkthrough of these features here: https://youtu.be/7vPJ97Gy6l8?si=yX3Akj88Rbp8sF3w
2. Improving Comfort and Fit: To reduce the pressure on your head during long sessions, we suggest adjusting the headband sliders so they are extended equally on both sides. This ensures the earcups sit flush against your ears and prevents the headband from pulling too tightly against the crown of your head.
3. Maintaining the Finish: Because of the premium matte finish, natural oils can transfer easily. We recommend using a soft, dry microfiber cloth to wipe down the earcups after use to keep them looking new and free of fingerprints.
We’re committed to helping you resolve this issue. If the problem persists, please reach out to our dedicated support team for further assistance and advanced troubleshooting.
You can find all the contact options and helpful resources here: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones

Definetly a Best Buy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancellation on these headphones is really good. On my last flight I couldn't get them connected to my AirFly pro before the trip so I put my Airpod Pro's in and covered my ears with these. I could watch my film and actually hear what was being said over jet noise.

Massive upgrade
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Coming from XM2 which lasted 8 years, these had big shoes to fill. Happy to report the sound quality and ANC is a huge upgrade. The microphone for calls is improved but still not as good as airpods Max. With that said best noise cancelling headphones available.

Don’t hesitate. Buy today!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I thought the X5s sounded good but these have taken it a step beyond. The sounds quality is phenomenal but where they have made substantial improvement is in the noise cancellation. Just an amazing set of headphones.

Posted .Hi CromagJohnson,
We are pleased to learn that your upgrade to the WH-1000XM6 has made such a significant difference in your travels! The XM4 was a fan favorite for years, so hearing that you find this new generation much better at silencing airplane engines is a fantastic testament to our engineering progress.

Great NC
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are my first over the ear NC headphones. I must say great start for me. The NC is phenomenal. I used it to take naps in a noisy hospital visit and the battery life was more then enough i got easily 8 hrs worth with some battery left. The top bar i feel can be a bit more comfy but i do have a pin head so maybe that was it. Besides that im always finding an excuse to wear them. If you want quality sound? Its there, but tbh there are better solutions for that. This one just checks off everything very well with NC bieng spectacular.

Posted .Hi GonzaloS,
We are ecstatic to learn that your WH-1000XM6 headphones are making such a positive difference during your time on the road!
We know that a trucking environment presents unique challenges, which is why we’ve equipped the XM6 with our most powerful hardware yet: the HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3.

We are thrilled that the "great" audio quality is helping you enjoy your favorite tracks and stay focused on the miles ahead.
Thank you for trusting Sony to be your reliable companion on every journey.
