    Bought these for my college student. Nice headphones with decent sound and noise cancelling. I also have 2 pairs of Bose QuietComfort. I don’t think the So us are substantially better to justify the higher cost.

    The Best for Trebles/ANC, But Bass Enjoyers Beware

    |

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    While the XM6s have technically superior active noise cancelling and definition on higher frequencies like trebles and mids, they lack the excellent, impactful bass of previous generations like the XM3 and XM4. Equalization efforts do not fix this. If bass is important to you, I would recommend checking out the previous generations instead (but avoiding the XM5s as their bass is also muddy and weak). If high frequency clarity or noise cancelling are most important to you instead, then the XM6s do perform better, but at a much steeper price tag.

      Hi AudioJack, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding the WH-1000XM6 headphones. We sincerely apologize for any disappointment you’ve experienced with the bass performance compared to previous models. We appreciate your insights, as they help us improve our products and better serve our customers.

      In addition to adjusting the equalizer settings, we recommend checking the fit of your headphones, as a snug fit can enhance bass perception. Additionally, ensuring that the headphones are fully charged can positively affect performance, as battery levels can influence sound quality.

      Thank you for considering Sony products and for your thoughtful input.

    The stock eq setting it ships with is awful. However, the eq itself is quite comprehensive and you can dial the sound to your taste pretty quickly. DEFINITELY EXPERIMENT WITH EQ because my first impression when I used it for the first time wasn't very good. Then I spent some time tweaking the eq settings and am now very happy with it!

      Hi Bestbuyer,

      We are sorry to hear that the noise cancellation did not meet your expectations. To ensure you are getting the best performance, we recommend using the Sony | Headphones Connect app to run the "Adaptive Sound Control" and "Noise Canceling Optimizer," which tailors the silence to your specific environment and fit. Please also ensure the ear pads are creating a firm seal around your ears for maximum isolation.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.
