    Amazing transparency mode and noise cancelling. I've been using the Airpods Max for years because of the said features and I'm glad to made the switch with the XM6. Much, much better and more comfortable than the Airpods Max. And the carrying case is a huge plus.

    I bought this for my mom for her birthday because I LOVE my XM5's and wanted to get her the latest model, and she loves it. She wears it every day and the ANC is the best I've ever experienced. If you have the XM5 then maybe it's not worth the upgrade but it's a significant upgrade if you have the XM4s.

      Hi Bstavig,

      We are beyond pleased to hear that your new WH-1000XM6 headphones are the best you’ve ever owned! Hearing a "10/10" rating for both sound and comfort is the ultimate reward for our design team, who worked tirelessly to refine this latest generation.

      To achieve that level of comfort, we reintroduced a foldable design and utilized a wider headband to distribute pressure more evenly during long listening sessions. The exceptional sound quality you're enjoying is powered by our new HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3—which is seven times faster than previous versions! We are really glad that the evolution of our flagship headphones has made such a positive impact on your music.

      Thank you for choosing Sony.

    Sony knocked it out of the park with the XM6, issues i had with the Xm5 aren't present, the Folding for Travel is cool but i don't use it. Battery Life is Excellent, Sound is even better and Sony's new Cinema Feature in the app for listening is amazing for Movies!

    Extremely comfortable with glasses and extra earring piercings. Noise is canceled pretty well. My only issue is every time I cough, sneeze or any other sudden sound around me the ambient sound shifts automatically turning noise canceling feature off. I have manually turn noise canceling back on. It would be nice to be set the ambient sound control to stay on noise canceling no matter what sound is happening around me.

      Thank you so much for your detailed feedback, TammyM! We’re thrilled that you find the WH-1000XM6 headphones comfortable, especially with glasses and piercings, and that the noise canceling performance meets your expectations.

      Regarding your experience with noise canceling automatically switching off when you cough, sneeze, or there’s a sudden loud noise: this is an intended function of the adaptive sound controls, which are designed to optimize your listening experience and situational awareness by temporarily adjusting settings in response to certain environmental triggers.

      We recognize that this auto-switching can sometimes be disruptive for users who prefer uninterrupted noise canceling. While it’s not currently possible to fully disable these auto-adjustments and keep NC mode continuously on, we encourage you to update both your headphones and the Sony | Sound Connect app to the latest version, as newer firmware may offer improved control or adjustments over these features. You can also review the adaptive sound and noise canceling options in the app settings—disabling features like Adaptive Sound Control or Speak-to-Chat may help minimize these unwanted changes.

      We appreciate your suggestion for a persistent noise canceling mode—feedback like yours is valuable in guiding future updates and feature improvements. We will be sure to share your experience with our development team.
      Thank you for choosing Sony!

    Superb sound. My M3's lasted me 8 years with daily use, im hoping to get the same wear and tear out of this pair. My only issue is that the ear cups are smaller than the previous M-generation? and I dont like it, I have quite small ears. But I think the bigger ear cups are roomy and looser for all day use. Granted, these stay better on my head when im upside down in the gym. But other than that, they're barely too small. Ill keep them for the sound, but comfort has sadly sadly gone down for me.

      Thank you for sharing your detailed and honest feedback, Lily!

      We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the superb sound quality of your new WH-1000XM6 headphones! It’s also fantastic to know that your previous M3s lasted an impressive 8 years of daily use; that durability is exactly what we strive for, and we hope you get the same longevity from this pair.

      We truly appreciate you detailing your experience with the ear cup size. We understand that changes to comfort, especially for all-day use, are critical, and we regret that the smaller size compared to the M-generation has slightly reduced your comfort level, despite the improved stability during activities like at the gym. We value this specific feedback immensely and will pass it directly to our design team, as maximizing both comfort and stability is a constant goal.

      We are pleased you’ve decided to keep them for the excellent sound, and we thank you for bringing the comfort issue to our attention.

      Hi Apple,

      We are thrilled to hear that the new foldable design of the WH-1000XM6 is making a positive difference in your experience!

By combining that enhanced portability with the premium, high-resolution audio performance you’ve come to expect from our flagship series, we aim to provide the best of both worlds. We are glad that the signature sound you love is now even easier to take with you wherever you go.

      Thank you for trusting Sony to deliver your premium audio experience!
