Great noise cancellation. Comparable to AirPods Max.
I wouldn’t recommend taking headphones like these to a humid / wet environment. Be mindful that the pressure of headphones can feel uncomfortable after long periods of use. The features this headset makes this a great option for individuals wanting customized listening experience. I’ve tested these with laptops, and my iPhone, these sound great on all different sources of input.
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback, EriGon.

I am absolutely in love with the sound quality and the noise canceling on these headphones. They are incredibly comfortable for long flights and study sessions. Everything about the performance is 5-star quality. However, the price is still quite steep. If you want the best of the best and don't mind the investment, these are perfect.

Honestly these are really good headphones. I did my research and read all the reviews and these always came on top so I had to get a pair. They have really good noise cancellation and sound quality. The only complaint o have is that sometimes the app is finiky and the ear cups are a tad bit small for my large ears but other than that I can easily wear these all day long with minimal discomfort.
Hi JMcAllen, thank you so much for the fantastic review! We feel privileged to hear that the Sony - WH1000XM6 lived up to your research and expectations, especially when it comes to noise cancellation and sound quality. We also really appreciate your honest feedback about the app and ear cup fit. Comfort and usability are just as important as performance, and we'll definitely pass your notes along to our development team. Thank you for choosing Sony, and we hope they continue to be your go-to for immersive listening! Best regards, -Dominick

Absolutely the best headphones I’ve ever had. My only con would be that the headphones are not Apple ecosystem friendly and if you’re using them for the gym go with the black as it will sweat/dirt immediately.
Hi KingKoopa! It brings us great satisfaction to hear you're loving the WH-1000XM6 headphones. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.
We definitely hear you regarding the color and sweat/dirt at the gym, and the integration with the Apple ecosystem. We're always looking for ways to improve based on what our customers tell us.

Amazing headphones. I chose this over the Apple Airpod Pro because these were way comfier as I use this primarily for when I’m on a flight; these Sony headphones can be worn for hours and hours without getting ear fatigue!!
Hi jo808! Thanks for the review! We are very glad to hear that your WH-1000XM6 kept you comfortable throughout those long flights.
These headphones feature our latest Auto NC Optimizer, which automatically adjusts the noise canceling based on your environment and even atmospheric pressure. They also offer Speak-to-Chat technology that pauses your music when you start talking.
We really appreciate you choosing Sony! Warm regards, Estefany

Used these headphones for a couple of trips and the quality of noise blocking the airplane engines is incredible. I’ve had several other name brands in the past and took a leap towards Sony and I’m very pleased that I did.

The ANC is truly amazing. So is the sound quality, the only thing is its missing a bit of low end base. I did expect these to sound like previous sony hesdphones that had really good bass bus these are missing that festure. I'd give it 4.5 star.

I love the rich sound that comes from these headphones. The bass is just perfect. It's clean bass, not that dirty bass. The only thing i dislike is the materials. They feel cheaply made compared to other headphones I've had in the past. I wouldn't pick any other headphones over these.

What can I say… m listening to music a lot more tha. I did in the past 10 years. I’m rediscovering music,!finding new artist, listening for hours and actually look forward to using the everyday. My AirPods are currently collecting dust. My only minor critique is about the material. It’s a print magnet. Ts hard to keeping looking fresh. And a suggestion we need tracking, native tracking when headphone are actually powered down. They are a must thou.
Thank you for sharing your incredible review, Chombotronic!
We are absolutely delighted to hear that your new headphones are inspiring you to listen to music significantly more and that they are helping you rediscover music! It's fantastic to know that they have become a highly anticipated part of your daily routine!
We also genuinely appreciate your feedback regarding the design. We understand that the material can be a fingerprint magnet, making it challenging to keep them looking fresh, and we will certainly pass this aesthetic critique on to our design team for future consideration.
Your suggestion for native tracking when the headphones are powered down is also excellent. This is valuable insight into features that enhance usability and peace of mind, and we will ensure this is shared with the relevant product development teams.
Thank you again for choosing Sony and for sharing how the headphones have transformed your listening experience!

Love these! Had Bose Ultras. For me, these are more canceling. And the silver blends with my Michael McDonald-esque hair. Took a picture of how they fit into the case for reference. :-)
