XM6 really good for me
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgrade from the XM4, it’s been great so far, comfortable enough, and sounds great. Only some minor issues. It’s not as comfort as my Bose quietcomfort ultra. It would also be nice to be able to adjust the ambient sound level. Connect to multiple devices works well, but I am still looking for the options not to start music when connected to my iPhone. That’s kind of annoying. Nothing is perfect but it’s very very nice.

Excellent sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall great sound quality i love that they brought back the folding mechanism. I have had some issues with my first headset that was making clicking noise from what im guessing was a broken speaker. My exchanged pair is working great so far. The battery in it lasts me all through the work week as well usually.

Best value, Top tier quality, Unique features
|Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is top notch. Noise cancelling and ambient sound (transparency mode) has improved significantly from the previous model. They're very comfortable, travel case is unique with the magnetic locking mechanism, and the customizable EQ is awesome! Lastly, they work great as a Playstation headset but an external mic would be required.

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.

Solid Upgrade from XM5
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I 100% recommend this even if you have the XM5. Huge upgrade on the noise cancellation on the plane. Clamping force is a bit stronger with this one which is really nice, doesn't slip off when I am working out. First day or so my ear was a bit uncomfortable which had me worried but once it "broke in" its been smooth sailing and very comfortable.

Posted .Hi Salman,
That's absolutely fantastic to hear! We're thrilled you're loving your new WH-1000XM6. It's great to know you're experiencing that huge upgrade in noise cancellation, especially on the plane – that's precisely what we aim for with our industry-leading technology. And we're glad the slightly stronger clamping force is benefiting your workouts by keeping them secure. It's also good to hear that initial discomfort resolved itself, leading to smooth sailing and very comfortable wear.

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.

Slightly overrated but overall great
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good after you customize eq to your liking but I must say it’s a little underwhelming anc wise like it’s good don’t get it twisted but not as insane as some people make it seem AirPods Max definitely beats it by quite a bit not being able to customize the anc like in past models also brings it down also the fit while comfortable some times can be crooked because of the way the hinges bend making it look crooked and off centered on your head sometimes which looks dumb if you catch it in the mirror but otherwise it’s good
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi CobiD,
We’re glad the custom EQ is hitting the spot for you! The WH-1000XM6 uses an Auto NC Optimizer with our QN3 processor to adjust noise cancellation in real-time, though we understand the preference for more manual control like in previous models. If the new hinge design feels a bit off-center, a quick adjustment of the headband sliders usually helps secure a more balanced fit.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
