Just OK
Tried these out at 3 locations. Not impressed. 30mm drivers are so 90s. We should have moved into 50-54mm drivers which sound much more alive. If you like a generic sound quality - these are for you. If you want true brightness and great lows there are far better products available for the price.

Fabulous headphones
I’ve moved to these headphones from Apple AirPods, so the sound is massively better. Exactly as I expected from Sony. The noise cancellation is also excellent. I would highly recommend. On the expensive side, but worth it.

Better than XM4's except for comfort
Product is better than the XM4s in almost every way other than comfort. They begin to get uncomfortable after wearing it for a couple hours.

The best noise cancelling headphone I've ever had.
Very happy with my purchase. I don't usually buy myself nice things because I'm too frugal but this has got to be one of the nicest things I've ever bought myself. I have been procrastinating buying headphones that are best at noise cancelling, have a deep bass offering, with crisp music sound, & are slick in design. My WH-1000XM6 Wireless headphones gave me all that in one. The touch interface is a pleasant experience too. I fly a lot over long distances across countries & this will definitely make my flying experience a lot better now, better than the previous multiple headphones I've head.

A little overhyped and underwhelming
Sound quality and bass is good and call quality is good however the noise cancelling is not. With music on around 60-75% volume i can still hear mumbles of normal sound level conversation and a crying baby on the opposite side of the bus with ANC on. Even when turning music on to the loudest possible i can still hear everything around me. When i press the noise cancelling button to turn it off there is no difference to what i can hear. So essentially with ANC on or off there is no difference to the noise i can hear around me. Ambient sound however is effective. The headphones itself are mostly comfortable and the colours are nice. However they are massive and bulky on my head and quite honestly look ridiculous. I bought these headphones for the ANC as it is so called the best noise cancelling headphones on the market right now but the best it can do is drown out some conversation. It would be worth getting smaller and nicer looking sony headphones if the noise cancelling on the xm6’s are this disappointing especially for the price. I thought my headphones were faulty at first and they might be after looking at reviews on social media, that’s how bad the noise cancelling is on these.

Unable to turn off
Off button does not work. Tried turning them off with the off button. The manual says to press and hold for 2 seconds. This doesn’t work. Set them up to turn off when the headset is removed and this doesn’t work either. I have to turn them off with the app. Sony have made it extremely difficult to talk to support and their bot has no options to help me, so hear me now: stay away. This is an expensive headset that doesn’t work on a fundamental level.

So easy to use advanced features with great sound
After a lot of research I opted for Sony 1000XM6 and after a week using the headset I’m mighty impressed. The sound quality is fabulous and the accompanying APP gives excellent control and functionality

Fantastic Headphones with a serious flaw
These headphones could easily be a 5/5 star product if you are reviewing based on sound quality however the build quality nearly makes them impossible to recommend, I originally bought the silver version and after wearing them once in an air conditioned room skin oils already started to stain the ear pads for the product. I ended up returning them and getting hte black version and while it is less noticeable on the black model its still happening. I.do not use these headphones for working out just for commuting and office work so sound quality is more important but its still frustrating given the price that this problem is happening.

XM6 - Best ANC headphone
Basically perfection there is no way there are better headphones than this. The only real complaint is the clamping that you initially get but it’s natural and goes away within a week. Everything else about the XM6 is worth the price and even beyond.

Hi xm6loveraboveall, Thank you for choosing Sony! We're truly heartened to learn that the WH-1000XM6 headphones have made such a great impression on you. Your feedback about the initial clamping is appreciated, and we're glad to hear it quickly becomes comfortable. Thank you for sharing your experience and highlighting their exceptional value.

Don't buy these if you plan to use them for work
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.

Almost the best ever!(pinched by spring on hinges)
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.

Thank you for taking the time to share your incredibly detailed feedback on the WH-1000XM6. We sincerely appreciate you sending us a picture of your solution, and we're truly sorry to hear that the design of the ear cup hinges has caused comfort issues. This is not the experience we aim to deliver. We understand your frustration with the changes from previous models, and your insights are invaluable. Our engineering team is always working on improving our products, and we'll be sure to pass your specific comments about the spring-loaded hinges and the need for more room in the ear cups directly to them. We take all feedback seriously as it helps guide future product design. We are so pleased, however, to hear that you consider these to be the "best sounding headphones out there for music." That truly means a lot to us. We collaborated with world-renowned audio engineers to deliver unparalleled sound clarity and precision, ensuring you can feel every detail and beat in your music. Thank you for being such a dedicated Sony customer and for sharing your honest experience. We hope you continue to enjoy the music. Best regards, Gus, Sony North America Customer Support
