Improvement over the xm5, still has app issues
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound quality and interface, improvement over the build of the xm5 as a physical structure. App interface with the phone is a little bit more laggy than the previous iteration, this might get fixed with software updates, unclear.

Posted .Hi NMoon,
We are immensely pleased to hear that you are enjoying the excellent sound quality and the refined physical build of the new WH-1000XM6!
Regarding the app performance you mentioned, we want to ensure your interface experience is as smooth as your listening. To resolve the lag you're seeing, we recommend clearing the cache within your phone's app settings. If that doesn't do the trick, a fresh start by uninstalling and then reinstalling the Sony | Headphones Connect app often resolves these types of software hiccups. This should help the app's responsiveness match the premium performance of the headphones themselves.
Thank you for making Sony part of your daily listening.
Best regards,
Dominick

Posted .Thank you for sharing your experience and positive feedback on the WH-1000XM6, Mark. We’re glad to hear you’re noticing significant improvements over previous models and making the most of the dual device connectivity throughout your workday.
With the WH-1000XM6, Sony aimed to address a number of user-requested enhancements. Community and early user impressions highlight several notable upgrades:
- Advanced noise cancellation, powered by a next-generation processor reportedly “7x faster,” delivers even more effective blocking of distractions and real-time sound adaptation compared to the already strong performance in the XM5 and XM4.
- Improved comfort and durability with a wider, reinforced headband, as well as a more compact and sturdy travel case, responding directly to feedback about the XM5’s case size and headband flexibility.
- Enhanced call quality with the addition of a twelfth microphone, which is especially valuable for frequent business calls.
- Multipoint (dual device) connectivity has been refined, making it even easier to switch between work laptops and phones—ideal for users who rely on these features to stay productive and connected.
Your feedback confirms that these updates bring daily value and justify the upgrade for XM4 and XM5 users seeking the latest improvements in comfort, sound, and usability.
Thank you again for your detailed review—it’s direct experiences like yours that help inform ongoing development and ensure Sony headphones continue to set the standard for audio performance and convenience.
Thanks for choosing Sony!

Absolutely
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I never thought that the XM4s would ever be outclassed, but these take the cake by a mile. Going back to my XM4s while at the gym is an insane difference in sound quality, clarity and "space". The "space" of the sound for the XM4s is like this: "| |", but for the XM6s its more like this: "| |". Way better. My ONLY complaint is that the pads on the XM6s are a little too thin, but with 3rd party companies working on replacement pads that'll be a non-issue soon. 10/10.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Much better than XM4 and XM5. However, it still feels cheap-ish and the color isn't what I expected. ANC is very decent, audio is great but not the best, though that's personal preference. Great battery life.
