Worth every penny.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best headphones ever. The sound quality and noise cancellation make these top tier headphones. The price point is high because the quality is even higher. They’re lightweight, and stay on my head without giving me a headache. Definitely would recommend as gym headphones or workout headphones.

The Best All Around Wireless Headphone
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Best pair of headphones I have ever had. I hate the price tag but others around this price really do not compare. The comfort without sacrificing sound quality. Bigger Framed Glasses do causes irritation after multiple hours (2+)

Posted .Hi Reilly,
Thank you for the feedback. I've adjusted the previous reply to be shorter while still addressing all your points:
We are thrilled you love the WH-1000XM6 headphones! We apologize that wearing them with your larger framed glasses causes irritation after extended use. To address the pressure, try adjusting your glasses' arms to rest higher or lower on the ear padding, or gently stretch the headband over a few books overnight to slightly reduce the clamping force.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,

I give 9/10 for the feature and sound.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comfort-wise, it was a little tight-fitting, but the sound quality is very good. You can change the codec and get better sound quality. Easy to use, and the touch feature is wonderful while working out. You don't have to constantly use your phone to skip songs or increase your music volume.

Owned XM2, XM4, XM5 before buying these.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Literal 5 star review. No hyperbole. I owned the XM2’s then didn’t need a new pair until they died. Those sounded incredible and my experience with them was great. Sticking with the Sony line was worth the cost of admission, so I bought the XM5’s which had just come out. After using them for a few days I returned them. They sounded incredible and much improved over my previous pair, but I hated that they didn’t fold down, plus it seemed the quality of the build was cheaper. I wanted to wait for the release of the XM6’s to see if they improved those concerns in any way, but in the meantime purchased the XM4’s to hold me over. Fast forward about 3 years to now and the XM6’s drop. Purchased them week one and as someone whose owned the XM2, XM4 and XM5 I can confidentally say that these are king of the hill to date. It seems to me if you had anything prior to the XM5, these have noticeable sound improvements and noise cancelling. If you have the XM5 previously, any improvement is not overly obvious to maybe a non-audiophile/obsessive. Maybe the hear through is better a pinch, but the noise cancelling, tuning, and overall sound is not vastly different. However, the build quality seems better and the folding is back. Recommend, that’s for sure, even with the $50 price increase.

We’re delighted that you found the sound quality and noise cancelling of the XM6s to be impressive, especially after owning previous models. Your insights on the build quality and the return of the folding feature are invaluable and we’re pleased that these enhancements have positively impacted your experience.
Thank you for choosing Sony and thank you once again for your recommendation. We hope you continue to enjoy the exceptional sound and features of the XM6s!

Best in quality.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is awesome. The only problem is that you can’t use it for longer period. After an hour your ear starts paining. Easy to carry with a good case cover.

Posted .Hi Mohammad,
We are glad you enjoy the sound quality but apologize that the headphones cause discomfort after an hour. Discomfort is often resolved by adjusting the fit; please try gently repositioning the headband height and earcup angle to ensure the earpads sit lightly around your ears, reducing pressure points for better comfort during long listening sessions.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
