Satisfactory, not outstanding.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as a dedicated listening device for my new television as a curtesy to my neighbors with whom I share thin walls. Personally I prefer the sound from Apple air pods but they had a connecting problem with my tv. Also, the pressure from the Sony headphones is uncomfortable after about an hour of wearing the device. It is therefore, for me, a minimally satisfactory solution for my needs. Others, I am sure, will have more positive things to say about these headphones.

Posted .Hi Displayname,
We’re sorry to hear that the fit and sound profile aren’t meeting your expectations. For the comfort issue, we recommend adjusting the headband slider to ensure the earcups are centered over your ears, which can help redistribute the clamping pressure. Regarding the audio, you can use the "Equalizer" settings in the Sony | Headphones Connect app to customize the sound to better match the profile you prefer.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab

Sounds amazing, however, the microphone wont work
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are good headphones in terms of sound quality and noise cancelation. That said, I've had several issues with the microphone not working even after doing a factory reset and firmware updates. I'll be taking them back in hopes of getting them resolved. For the money, I'd take a chance on something else.

Distortion over bluetooth
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So, these headphones do have phenomenal noise canceling, but i have experienced some distortion over bluetooth. Otherwise they sound great over a wired connection. I dont know if its android, equalizer settings, or just a software issue, but its really kept me from fully enjoying these headphones.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi Chris,
Thanks for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear you're experiencing distortion with your new WH1000XM6 headphones. That's definitely not the listening experience we want you to have—especially since you've noted that they sound great with a wired connection.
Since you're hearing distortion specifically over Bluetooth, here are a few things to check that might help: In the Sony | Sound Connect app, go to Settings and look for a setting called Bluetooth Connection Quality. If it's set to "Prioritize Sound Quality (LDAC)," try switching it to Prioritize Stable Connection. You can reset the Headphones and Disable DSEE Extreme as well!
If the issue persists, feel free to reach out to our Sony Support team at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones
We hope this helps get your issue resolved.
Thanks for choosing Sony!
Sincerely,
Jenn | Sony North America.
