      Hello Pabz,

      Thank you for choosing Sony products.

      We apologize for any discomfort caused by the tight fit of your WH-1000XM6 headphones and appreciate the importance of a personalized sound experience. To help resolve these issues, please follow the steps below:

      Adjusting the Fit: The headband is designed to create a secure seal for optimal noise cancellation. However, you can gently extend the sliders on both sides to achieve a more comfortable fit. Additionally, wearing the headphones slightly further forward or backward on the crown of your head may help reduce pressure.

      For detailed instructions on adjusting the fit, please visit: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2984/v1/en/contents/TP1001861255.html

      Equalizer Feedback: We value your feedback on the equalizer settings. We recommend watching this helpful video to explore the equalizer feature and learn how to fine-tune it for enhanced sound quality: https://youtu.be/AEeLJM4tZyM

      If you need further assistance or would like more information about your unit, please do not hesitate to contact our support team: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones

    Buy WH-1000XM5, WH-1000XM6 is terrible

    I wish I stayed with my WH-1000XM5 replacement. My WH-1000XM5 started to make a high pitch noise. I had the option to replace it with a new WH-1000XM5 or pay the difference and upgrade to WH-1000XM6. I upgraded. The sound in WH-1000XM6 is terrible compared to WH-1000XM5. Also, the microphone is terrible, sounds like a toy mic. Plus, the headphone continually shuts down without me doing anything. Could I have a defective headphone?

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Hi OccasionalBuyer,

      We are sorry to hear that your experience with the WH-1000XM6 has not met your expectations, especially after moving from the XM5. The issues you described—poor sound quality, a "toy-like" microphone, and random shutdowns—are certainly not typical of this model, which features an upgraded QN3 processor and 12-microphone system for improved clarity. We recommend disabling the "Automatic Power Off" setting in the Sony Sound Connect app to address the shutdowns and performing a factory reset (holding the power and noise-canceling buttons for 10 seconds) to resolve potential software glitches affecting the audio; however, if the issues persist, it is very likely you have a defective unit and we encourage you to utilize your warranty for a replacement. Thanks for choosing Sony.

    Decent ANC headphones too tight on my head

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

    Sound quality is decent. Not too heavy on the bass which is nice but a bit tinny with higher treble at least in my opinion. Unfortunately to much clamping force on my head so I’ll be retuning them.

      Hi Mocchan,
      Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts with us on the WH-1000XM6 headphones. We're really sorry about the clamping force being uncomfortable. We genuinely want every listening session to be a good one. Sometimes gently stretching the headband a little or adjusting the earcups angle can help loosen things up for a better fit.

      As for the sound, one thing that might help is the Sony | Sound Connect app, there’s a simple built-in EQ, so you can fine-tune the bass and treble to match what sounds best to you.

      Thanks for considering Sony and for your valuable feedback, it really helps us improve.
      Sincerely,
      Estefany Sony_US

You’ll definitely notice the jump in noise-canceling precision and the improved voice pickup for calls. It’s a huge step forward and we’re thrilled it’s living up to the legacy for you!
