Great sound and comfort
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been really impressed with the XM6. The sound is clear with deep bass and balanced highs, and the noise cancelling works really well in everyday use. They’re lightweight and comfortable enough to wear for hours without pressure. Battery life easily lasts me through the day. Overall, it feels like a big step up from my old pair and worth the price.

Sony has a winner here!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best headphones I've ever owned -- and I've had two Bose noise-cancelling sets previously. The sound is clear and the app is great for adjusting the sound to my ear. The noise cancelling works great, and the easy way to temporarily suspend the noise-cancellation to carry on a conversation is super. Very comfortable as well! The range for the wireless connection is also the best I have ever experienced.

Posted .Hi DuckHook!
It brings us great joy to hear that the WH-1000XM6 are the best headphones you’ve ever owned! We are so glad the clear sound, comfortable fit and strong wireless range are making such a big difference for you.
The WH-1000XM6 includes Speak-to-Chat technology, which senses when you start talking and instantly pauses your music so you can have a conversation without taking them off.
We're genuinely thankful you decided on Sony!

Glad I Splurged on This.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am glad I got these headphones. Excellent sound quality. Comfortable, not too fatiguing on the ears. You can intuitively customize your preferred sound on the app. If you listen to classical music, you can hear a lot of the nuance. If you prefer rock, you can enjoy the bass cranked up. I prefer the Midnight Blue color for a slightly unusual look.

We are also glad the Midnight Blue finish is providing that unique aesthetic touch you were looking for!

Gym / Chores
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones for the gym / chores around the house. Noise cancellation works pretty well, they have cool features like the simultaneous connectivity to two devices and EQ presets. I've dropped them a couple times and they still work fine. They can get kind of smelly if you leave them in the case without wiping them down post work out, but overall they're great headphones.

Posted .Hi Kyril,
It brings us great satisfaction to hear that your WH-1000XM6 headphones are keeping up with your lifestyle, from intense gym sessions to staying productive around the house. We designed them to be as versatile as they are durable, so it’s fantastic to know they’ve handled a few accidental drops and still perform beautifully. The multipoint connection and EQ presets are definitely game-changers for a seamless experience!
Regarding the post-workout freshness, a quick wipe down after a heavy session is a great tip for any athlete to keep those ear pads in top shape.
Thank you for choosing Sony to power your daily soundtrack!

Amazing sound just bulky
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I returned my Apple AirPods Max for these and I don’t regret it, these are comfortable and light on the head and sound great, battery lasts me over a week, a bit bulky on the head. I use these 4x a week at the gym and they are the best headphone I’ve used for that so far

Posted .Hi JiayiQ,
We are beyond pleased to hear that you are enjoying the sound quality and lightweight, comfortable design of your WH-1000XM6. To help you get the most out of your battery life, we recommend turning off the Speak-to-Chat feature or the Service Link function within the Sony Sound Connect app, as these can increase power consumption.

Best Sounding Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound from these headphones is amazing. I was very happy with my Beats Studio 3 headphones, but it was time for an upgrade. My only complaint with these are that they are not rated for water resistance which makes me reluctant to use it at the gym. The battery life is great and the app that you can download really lets you tailor the sound to your liking.

Posted .Hi TommyV,
We are glad you’re enjoying the amazing sound and the customization options of the WH-1000XM6! While these headphones are designed for premium audio and noise cancellation, they are not rated for water or sweat resistance, so we do recommend avoiding use during intense workouts to protect the internal components. For the gym, we suggest checking out our IP-rated earbuds which are specifically built to handle moisture.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Best headphone in the market.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is one of the great purchase. Sound quality is awesome. More importantly, battery life is impressive, 7-8 days without charging even with nice cancellation enabled. Better investment that Apple AirPod max. Hurry get yours and enjoy the sound of Sony.

Simply Excellent
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think these are the best headphones on the market that don't need an amplifier. The noise cancelling is excellent. Battery life is excellent. Sound quality is excellent. One thing these have over the Airpod Max is that you can customize the audio levels. The only knock I have is that they show smears easily.

Sony xm6
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the new headphones.
