    The headphones are pretty good, the sound quality is good since these are my first pair of headphones, although connecting with the Sony app will disconnect even though you're connected and sometimes the ambient mode won't work and you have to disconnect & reconnect, but overall just don't buy these for full price, wait till they're on sale.

      Hi Zack,

      We are happy to hear that the sound quality is good for your first pair of high-end headphones, but we sincerely apologize for the frustrating connectivity issues you are experiencing with the Sony app and the inconsistent Ambient Sound Mode. Since the app connection is unstable and Ambient Mode requires frequent re-connection, please ensure both the headphones and the Sony Headphone Connect app are updated to the latest versions, and then try performing an initialization (factory reset) on the headphones, as this often resolves communication bugs and restores full functionality.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

    Great headset. Not worth the price.

    Great headset with a caveat. The noise cancelling is 100% set to the environment. Wearing for an extended period on a plane, for example, you will notice fluctuations in the noise cancelling frequency and it is quite unpleasant. Nothing you can do in the settings even when you specifically disable that toggle. Seems I’m in the minority here, though. Battery life is EXCELLENT. Its also nice to be able to connect to 2 devices at once. But these are not nearly worth the price.

      Hi str8b8ed,

      We're glad to hear you're enjoying the excellent battery life and multipoint connection on your WH-1000XM6 headphones. We apologize for the frustration with the noise-canceling fluctuations on the plane. This behavior is most often caused by the Adaptive Sound Control feature, which we recommend disabling in the Sony | Headphones Connect app to maintain a consistent noise-canceling level. If the issue persists, please ensure you have the latest firmware installed.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Hi GonzaloS,

      We are ecstatic to learn that your WH-1000XM6 headphones are making such a positive difference during your time on the road!

      We know that a trucking environment presents unique challenges, which is why we’ve equipped the XM6 with our most powerful hardware yet: the HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3. Combined with a total of 12 microphones, this system is designed to identify and cancel out the low-frequency roar of a truck engine with incredible speed and precision. We are thrilled that the "great" audio quality is helping you enjoy your favorite tracks and stay focused on the miles ahead.

      Thank you for trusting Sony to be your reliable companion on every journey.

      Hi LisaS,

      We’re sorry to hear the audio sounds muffled! To improve clarity, we recommend using the Sony | Sound Connect app to set your Bluetooth Connection Quality to "Prioritize Sound Quality" and enabling DSEE Extreme to restore high-end detail. You can also use the Equalizer presets, like "Bright," to sharpen the vocals and reduce any heaviness in the bass.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.
