Uncomfortable but I loved the controls
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The touch controls on this headset are incredible! Sadly I had to return because the clamp force is too tight for all day wear and my ears touched the inside of the headphones making them uncomfortable for all day wear
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Thank you for your feedback, Clay.
We’re glad you enjoyed the touch controls on the WH-1000XM6, but we are truly sorry to hear the fit and clamp force weren't right for you. We design our headsets for comfort, so we appreciate you letting us know where they missed the mark for all-day wear.
Thank you for choosing Sony!

Love these!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these especially compared to the Bose ultra. The only thing I wish could be done is connecting more than two devices at the same time, as you need to disconnect one to be able to auto switch between more devices.
