Is good but need better design
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Has a excelent sound, noise cancelation i didn't listed the person in my side, the control for volume and changed sound is great. The confort is no good, the ear touch the cloth that come inside, need to be deeper, the ear cups are small and don't cover of the ear.

Posted .Hi Deeel,
We are thrilled to hear you find the sound quality excellent and the Noise Cancellation effective enough that you "didn't listed the person in my side," which is the core performance we strive for, and we are glad the touch controls are working great for you. However, we sincerely apologize that the shallow ear cups are causing discomfort by allowing your ear to touch the internal cloth. We recommend that users experiencing this comfort issue consider looking for thicker, custom-depth replacement ear pads from specialized third-party accessory makers, which often resolves the depth problem while maintaining the impressive ANC performance you enjoy.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Volume control issue
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.More comfortable than the AirPod Max, but less than the Bose equivalent. The volume control swipe is terrible. Wish they had a physical volume control.

Posted .Thank you for your feedback, Jake.
We are glad to hear that you find the wh1000xm6 more comfortable than the AirPods Max! We put a lot of focus on the weight and pressure distribution, so it’s great to know that is paying off for you.
We also appreciate your honest thoughts on the volume control swipe.

Feedback like yours is essential as we continue to refine the user interface for our future models.
Thank you for choosing Sony and for sharing your experience!

Overall excellent
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony headphones always have excellent sound quality, plus ANC. To be fair I miss the design of the XM4s more but this is completely my own bias and may not be applicable to all people.

Amazing Features, Below Average Sonic Performance
|Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones were a massive letdown. The soundstage feels super small and cramped, the mids are super weak, the bass is largely absent, and the treble does not stick out of the texture at all. And adjusting the EQ just makes things worse, like if I increase the treble it sticks out as it should but it sounds thin and strained. Increasing the bass overdrives it by quite a bit and it sounds boomy and like I’m listening underwater. I showed them to a few other of my audiophile friends and we all came to the same conclusion. My AirPods Pro 2 have a larger, more full soundstage. My Arctis Nova Pro Wireless’ (yes it is a very different headset) sound worlds more full and precise. Now, as the title says, the features are awesome. They are super comfortable, the battery is plenty big, the dual connections was super convenient, the swipes are intuitive and easy to use. But they just don’t sound good at all. If these were ~$150 then maybe, but for $450?? No way.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Almost perfect
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far I've been extremely impresses. The sound quality is great, and the noise cancelling tech works better than anything I've seen before. I also love how easy it is to switch b/w devices and all the other customization options you get with the app. The only downsides for me: 1. The volume adjustment increments on the touch pad are way to low. It feels like each swipe is only moving volume up or down 1% and it takes 30-40 swipes to go from 50% to max. Very frustrating, please fix! Or give us the option to adjust. 2. The headphones are very comfortable, but also get very hot since they don't breath at all. I guess this is a consequence of the the noise insulation required.

Posted .Hi Grumpy,
Thank you for the excellent feedback on the WH-1000XM6 headphones! We're thrilled you're impressed with the sound quality and noise canceling. We appreciate you sharing your experience.
We understand your frustration with the volume control. While the current design is for precise adjustments, you can increase or decrease the volume more quickly by swiping and holding your finger on the touch panel. Your feedback about both the volume and the warmth of the earcups will be passed on to our product team for future consideration.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
