Sony WH1000XM6/B Best Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones, Black Bundle with Deco Essentials Headphones Ear Pads Replacement Headset Ear Cushions and Deco Gear Unofficial Master Guide

Great so far sounds great can't wait to try on airplane but it seem like the noise canceling might be good

After rave reviews, purchased the new Sony 1000XM6 - definitely a high end product in materials and quality. The case is sturdy and very portable, which I appreciate for airplane travel. The app is easy to use and functions and settings are a breeze to set up. Sound is fabulous, various EQ settings allow adjustment to personal and music tastes. Music sounds open, clear, with detailed mids and highs that are never sibilant, bass is powerful and not muddy. The headphones sit very comfortably and clamping forces are just right. ANC is simply jaw dropping! Gesture controls on the right cup are intuitive and easy, but I wish the annoying confirmation ding for volume and track selection could be switched off completely and not end at - 2, that's my only gripe, really

Great!The finish picks up fingerprints extremely easily. Once the EQ is customized, they sound good, but at this price point I would expect the connectivity issues across devices and with the app, as well as the fingerprint problem, not to exist. I think Sony should have spent more time on development and testing before releasing these headphones.

This is my first time trying out the headphone side of things with Sony. I've tried the xm4 earbuds, that were ok but call quality sucked. I jumped ship and bought Bose quietcomfort earbuds when they released. I loved the Bose earbuds but they had the same issue. Terrible call quality too. I heard a lot about the xm5 headphones, right as I was about to finally purchase the xm5s the Xm6s ended up releasing so I gave them a try. I love these headphones! Great ANC and call quality finally! The sound profile is pretty good but I can't say it's the best I've heard. I can say it's very solid and well rounded though. I wish the headphones didn't smudge so easily tho. I have the black ones. All in all I don't have any complaints or regrets!

I'm including a pic so you can see how I fixed the comfort issues I was having because of the spring-loaded hinges on the ear cups. I'm really disappointed that Sony decided to reinvent instead of keep free-floating hinges on the ear cups like every other headphone out there in existence!! Other than that glaring mishap these are the best sounding headphones out there for music... which makes it truly a shame.... hopefully with the XM7 they can return to free floating hinges and give us just a little more room to breathe in the earcups, perhaps take a lesson from Bose or Bowers bc they do it very very well.

Gemini said While the sound quality on the Sony WH-1000XM6 is undeniably impressive and the noise cancellation remains top-tier, the actual user experience is marred by inexcusable technical flaws. The flagship multipoint connection feature is fundamentally broken and feels incredibly unstable during daily use. It constantly suffers from what I can only describe as connection corruption; if I am listening to audio on my computer and briefly use my phone for even a second, the sound from my computer vanishes entirely. Even more frustrating is that standard troubleshooting steps like toggling Bluetooth or manually reconnecting via the PC do absolutely nothing to restore the stream. The only way to get the headphones to function properly again is to perform a full hardware restart of the device. Having to power cycle my headphones multiple times a day just to handle basic task-switching is a massive disruption to my workflow and simply unacceptable for a premium product. For a pair of headphones at this price point, I expected a seamless transition between devices, but instead, I'm left with a glitchy experience that feels more like a beta test than a finished consumer product. Sony needs to address these stability issues immediately, as the excellent audio doesn't make up for the constant frustration of a failing connection.

I'm big fan of Sony products. After upgrading from my 7-year-old WH-1000XM3, I immediately noticed comfort issues with the new WH-1000XM6. The ear pads feel warmer with less ventilation, and my ears heat up far quicker than they ever did with the XM3. The fit is also too snug — the clamping force is strong enough that I get a headache after about 15 minutes. Maybe it's because I have larger ears or wear glasses, but this was never an issue with the XM3. The sound and ANC are phenomenal, but the overall comfort is a big step down for me, especially at this price point. I really wanted to keep the XM6, but after two weeks of regular use, the clamping force still hadn't eased up. Honestly, I wish could just repair my XM3s. They work fine, just the headband is taped up using duct tape becuase the plastic parts have cracked and sliding adjustments for the earcups no longer stay in place. One day, I hope Sony releases a model that returns to the comfort of the XM3/XM4s, and with a decent mic that doesn't make you sound like you're talking through a walkie-talkie.

Sony released an update several months ago that broke the ability to use these headphones in meetings. Any other audio that plays stops any audio/mic usage in a zoom/teams/whatsapp meeting until you reconnect them. It's been months with only no-info HR style responses. Several months without fixing a critical bug, wouldn't buy from Sony again, unfortunately they bricked my headset with this update after my return window.

I bought the sonyxm6s about 3 months ago and after a couple of weeks after I bought them I started to notice that the noise cancellation was getting worse. When I did some research, mostly it was about human brain adapting to it. So I was like ok, but it's been two weeks that when I turn them off and then on there is no difference, I hear everyone clearly and there is no difference when they are off or on. I had high expectations from these headphone. There is also creaking noise coming from the top part of the head band, which is very annoying to someone like me that walks a lot from having headphone on. I know that the sound quality is great but paying 450 for them to last about 1 month is absolutely ridiculous.

Most uncomfortable Headphones I have ever owned. Noise canceling is amazing but so uncomfortable I can't even wear anymore and will have to sell and take a huge loss. Specifically, it is the right ear cup. Left feels great but no matter what I do, the right side bothers me.
