    The purpose of the purchase was to have headphones that could block out my surroundings and allow me to create an appropriate environment for studying, without the distraction of nearby conversations. These headphones do exactly that. I am still getting used to the level of silence they produce, but I believe they do fulfill their purpose.

    I delayed buying a pair of over the ear headphones. I researched, I hemmed and hawed. I went in and tested. But, am I glad I got these. They sound great, the app makes customization relatively easy. Do yourselves the favor for a great audio experience and pick these up if you are in the market.

    I bought these headphones and the battery life is amazing. Used it for 5 days without needing to charge. The noise cancel seems to be the same as the xm5 didn't notice much of a difference. The headphones can rotate so the cuffs are pointing in which is better than the xm5 because there were times when it would accidentally start tapping and playing a song or whatever. I like how they still give the option to use a jack if wired is your thing or you can't charge it but want to still use them. The issue's I've had seem to be more from the manufacturing. I had to return it after a week because the headphones had a consistent crackling sound and when I checked online I saw this was a common issue. The second pair i got I hear white noise occasionally which I was told are the microphones adjusting for noise cancelling. My second set also had issues with the different NC levels with the left side letting in more noise than the right. I've heard it's due to possible dust and debris which Is weird because I've only had this second pair for a week and kept it in the case. Might have to return this one too as I can't seem to fix the NC leaking on the left ear.

      Hi MustaphaC,
      Thanks so much for reaching out and sharing your experience with the WH-1000XM6 headphones.
      We appreciate you sharing your thoughts on the new features. It's great to hear you're enjoying the improved swivel design and the flexible connectivity options. We're also glad the battery life is living up to your expectations!

      However, we're really sorry to hear you've had so many issues. That's definitely not the experience we want for our customers.
      For the white noise and noise-canceling issues, here are a few things we can try.

      1. Restart your headphones.
      2. Reset the headphones to factory settings. You can find the steps here: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2984/v1/en/contents/TP1001863305.html
      3. Update the firmware: Make sure your headphones are running the latest firmware version through the Sony | Sound Connect app.

      If none of those steps work and you're still having trouble, we strongly recommend you to contact our support team for assistance at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones

      Thanks for considering Sony products and for your thoughtful input.
      Sincerely,
      Estefany Sony_US

    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.

      Thank you for the fantastic review, BryanC!

      We are so stoked to hear that your first month with the WH-1000XM6 has been such a win! It’s awesome that the noise cancellation is hitting the mark for you, but hearing that you're still over 50% battery after a month of use is the real "mic drop" moment. We worked hard to make sure these were comfortable enough to wear all day without the dreaded "headphone headache," so it's great to know the fit and style are working for you.

    I've tried all types of headphones, and these are the best when combining sound, comfort, and noise cancellation. The LDAC codec lets you listen to HD quality music with almost any Android phone. If you have an iPhone, there is a small adapter you can buy on Amazon from Questyle.

      Hi DarylD,

      It’s rewarding to hear that after testing various models, you have found our latest flagship headphones to be the ultimate benchmark for audio, comfort, and silence!

      To achieve this level of performance, we integrated the all-new HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3, which operates seven times faster than its predecessor to optimize 12 individual microphones in real-time. This processing power ensures that our industry-leading noise cancellation adapts instantly to your environment, while the carbon fiber composite 30mm drivers deliver the studio-quality precision that audiophiles expect. We are also glad you mentioned the LDAC support; by allowing for a transmission rate of 990 kbps, we ensure that High-Resolution Audio is preserved wirelessly, giving you the richest possible soundscape regardless of your device.

      Thank you for choosing Sony and for sharing your helpful setup tips with the community!

    I must admit the Sony headphones have incredible sound performance. It has increased my headphone usage, and has made the experience much more enjoyable. The fit across the head is comfortable and when bending over the headphones actually stay in place that is a big plus. Also when exercising and during vigorous workouts there is little to no movement of the headphones. Lastly most definitely not least the comfort of the ear cushions are phenomenal. I would recommend to others and purchase again if necessary.
