Q: Does it have mute (microphone) button?

You can mute or unmute the microphone by double-pressing the noise-canceling (NC) button on the headphones. This functionality is particularly useful during calls or virtual meetings, allowing you to quickly control your microphone without needing to interact with your connected device. To activate the headphones' microphone, launch the Sony Sound Connect app and go to the device settings. Under the system section, locate the option labeled "Enable the headphones microphone" and switch it to "on." Once the microphone is enabled, you can conveniently turn it on or off by quickly pressing the NC/AMB (Noise Canceling/Ambient Sound Mode) button twice.

A: Hi smallheadlady, thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience. We understand that finding the perfect fit for headphones, especially for those with smaller head sizes can sometimes be a challenge. The WH-1000XM6 and our WH-1000XM series in general, are designed with an adjustable headband to accommodate a wide range of adult head sizes. However, there isn't a specific 'small head' or children's version of these particular headphones. We highly recommend trying on at an authorized Sony retailer if possible. This will allow you to personally assess the fit and comfort for your head size and ensure it provides the secure feeling needed for the best experience. Please be assured that we value your feedback and will take it into consideration for future product releases. Thanks for considering Sony products! Best regards, Stephanie
Q: Can I connect to a non Bluetooth device through the usb-c port?
A: Hello! Thank you for your inquiry. The WH-1000XM6 headphones can only be connected to non-Bluetooth devices via the 3.5mm headphone jack, as the USB-C cable is exclusively for charging purposes. We appreciate your interest in Sony products! Best, Gus
Q: Does it have the physical buttons for volume up and down?
A: Hi SleepyMalo408, thank you for your inquiry! The WH-1000XM6 do not feature traditional physical buttons for volume control. The headphones features two dedicated physical buttons: one for powering ON/OFF and another for toggling between noise canceling and ambient sound modes. Additionally, it incorporates a touch sensor control panel on the right earcup, enabling to adjust the volume with simple swipe gestures for a more intuitive experience.

I recently upgraded from my Sony MDR-1000X headphones, which I’ve owned since 2016, to the new Sony WH-1000XM6, and the difference is night and day. The sound quality of the XM6 is incredible. Everything from music to audiobooks sounds so much clearer and more balanced, with crisp highs and punchy lows that the MDR-1000X just couldn’t match. The spatial audio feature is a game-changer; it makes watching TV shows feel like I’m in a movie theater, with sound that wraps around me in a way the older model never could. I didn’t realize what I was missing until now. The Adaptive Noise Cancellation (ANAC) is another huge improvement. With more microphones and a faster processor, the XM6 blocks out noise like never before, it’s like having my quiet bubble. The battery life is also amazing, offering up to 30 hours with ANC on, which is perfect for long trips. I used to worry about charging my MDR-1000X, but with the XM6, that’s no longer an issue. The design is sleeker and more comfortable, and the hard-shell case is much better for traveling. There are also cool new features like Bluetooth LE Audio and a 10-band equalizer, which let me customize my listening experience even more. Overall, the WH-1000XM6 is a fantastic upgrade. Sony has outdone themselves, and I’m thrilled with my purchase!

I had the previous generation Sony WH-1000XM5s, and the XM6s have only improved on those already amazing headphones. These news ones have a larger headband, meaning that they distribute the weight better on your head, resulting in a more comfortable experience. Additionally, the padding on the ear cuffs was made a bit thicker, and for me, that surprisingly personally made a big difference in my experience. The sound quality also gets a sizable upgrade. Sony redesigned the drivers and vocals sound clearer, individual instruments in songs sound more crisp, and you the bass sounds more natural and less muddy than the previous generation. The noise cancelation is also shockingly better. Lastly, the carrying case is a small but much welcomed upgrade. Smaller and more convenient, the case now uses a strong magnetic clasp to stay shut opposed to a zipper. It means in 5 seconds, you can go to taking the carrying case out of your bag and have them on your head turned on. Overall, these headphones are well worth it if you’re looking for the best of the best on the market in terms of sound quality, comfort, and portability. Would easily recommend to anyone looking for a new pair of quality and premium headphones.
