      Hello Smoak,

      Thank you for considering Sony products.

      We sincerely apologize for the discomfort you're experiencing with the WH-1000XM6 headphones. While we're glad to hear you appreciate the audio quality, we understand that comfort is equally important, and your feedback is taken very seriously.

      To help improve your experience, please ensure the headphones are worn correctly, as proper positioning can significantly enhance comfort and reduce heat buildup. You can find detailed guidance on how to wear the unit for optimal comfort here: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2984/v1/en/contents/TP1001861255.html

      Rest assured, we will forward your comments to our dedicated Sony team for thorough review as we continuously strive to enhance our products. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

      Hi JDell,
      Thanks for the review. We really appreciate you sharing your honest thoughts on the WH-1000XM6. We're sorry to hear they haven't impressed you yet, especially since you were looking for more ways to change the sound.

      We have some tools inside the Sony | Sound Connect app that might help you get things just right:

      -Custom EQ Slots: In the app, you can find "Custom" settings. This lets you move the sliders yourself to change the bass or treble exactly how you want.

      -Clear Bass: You can use this specific slider to make the bass stronger or lighter without making the music sound fuzzy.

      We hope this helps!

      Thanks for considering Sony. We’re always looking for ways to improve, so we truly value feedback like this.

      Warm regards,
      Estefany Sony_US

      Hi Magnumopus,

      We understand the feeling of missing a sale, but we're happy to hear you're not regretting the time you've had with them! Thanks for choosing Sony!

    The Sony XM6 headphones have great ANC and I was very impressed by the sound quality once I tuned it to my liking via the Sony app. However, I had to return the XM6 because wearing them for any extended period of time was actually hurting my ears no matter how I adjusted the fitting. They have very thin padding and the ear cups are so shallow that my ears were pressing against the ANC mics in the headphones. If I pay more than $400 for a product I prefer that it doesn't inflict pain when I use it. I decided to replace the XM6 with the Bose QC Ultra which do not quite match the XM6 when it comes to sound quality but I can wear them without any discomfort which is a great plus!

      Hi Chris,

      Thank you for your detailed feedback on the WH-1000XM6 headphones. I'm glad you enjoyed the sound quality and ANC, but I'm very sorry to hear that the physical design caused you discomfort. Your experience is important to us, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

      We understand that comfort is a critical factor, especially for extended listening sessions, and it's disappointing to hear that the fit was not suitable for you. We are always working to improve our product designs, and we take all feedback, especially on comfort and ergonomics, very seriously.

      While we're sad to see you return the XM6s, we're happy to hear you found a pair of headphones that you can wear comfortably.

      Thanks for considering Sony products.

      Best regards,
      Eliab Sony_US

    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?

      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.

    The sound in these headphones are great. However, the mic, isn’t great. I have been on calls with people from my iPhone and I have had complaints about not hearing me at all and when I have connected it to my computer, people complained that I sound far away. Also it seems to cut off while on the phone it would switch over to the iPhone speaker on its own, without me doing anything. And I don’t what it is about those headphones, but they drain my iPhone battery so bad! I only listen to music on it mainly and by noon it’s already down to 65% after starting the morning around 9:30am at 100%. So despite the new mic system, I can’t recommend these.

      Hi Nick,

      Thanks for the review and the detailed explanation on the issues. We are very sorry to hear about the inconveniences encountered, and we will be more than glad to help you out.

      For both computer and phone issues, a simple but effective step is to perform a reset or initialization of the headphones. This can resolve various connection and performance glitches by returning the headphones to their factory settings and clearing all pairing information. You can find more information and the steps on how to complete the troubleshooting steps on the following link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2984/v1/en/contents/TP1001856788.html

      We hope this helps. In case the problem persists, we highly recommend reaching to our Technical Support team at: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones. They will be able to assist further.

      Welcome to the latest generation! The WH-1000XM3 was a classic, but we are so glad you’re enjoying the upgrade to the XM6. 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!
