Multiple hardware failures, on a premium product.
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these headphones for less than a year ago after having the previous generation for years. Since then I've experienced nothing but continual hardware issues. The a faux leather pads immediately stained just from normal body oil and I have had to replace then with 3rd party pads since. Since then the telescoping band had a mechanical failure and now the left side doesn't stay in place. I called Sony support and was informed that the warranty doesn't cover hardware issues only issues with the speaker battery software etc. I am a mechanical product designer and understand how and why this failed and the engineering decisions that were made should not have been made. I would highly recommend against purchasing these headphones especially if you have a larger head. if you continually extend the stems fully you will dislodge the backstop and the stem will fail. It's really sad to see from a company that has made so many good products with incredible hardware engineering, release a product that has so many reliability oversights in the name of design. This is the last pair of Sonny headphones that I'm going to buy, and I would advise others to do the same. The fact that these failures made it through product approval, and that Sony's business practices don't cover hardware failures under warranty is mind boggling to me.

Posted .Hi Levi,
We are incredibly sorry to hear about the mechanical failures you've experienced with your WH-1000XM6 headphones, especially given your history with our previous generations. As a product designer, your detailed feedback regarding the structural integrity of the telescoping band and the wear on the ear pads is highly valuable, and we are passing these insights directly along to our engineering and quality assurance teams.
We also want to apologize for any frustration regarding our standard warranty policy, which targets defects in materials and manufacturing workmanship under ordinary use but generally excludes physical or structural damage.
Thanks for considering Sony products.
Best regards,
Eliab

Great for music not so much for calls.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its great for music, not a great microphone for calls. The other person on the other end can't here you that well you have to keep repeating yourself and sound distortes or muffled. I think it could be bluetooth connection interference since i live in an apartment.

Posted .Hello DanaP,
Thank you for considering Sony products.
We regret to learn about the challenges you are experiencing with the microphone quality of your WH1000XM6 during calls, particularly with sound distortion and the need to repeat yourself. We understand how disruptive this can be, especially in environments with potential Bluetooth interference such as apartments.

Additionally, installing the latest Firmware Version 3.0.0 can improve device performance and call functionality. Detailed update instructions are available here: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wh-1000xm6/software/00355433.
Should the issue persist, we encourage you to contact our dedicated support team for advanced troubleshooting. Contact details and resources can be found at: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones.

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
