Sony Headphones Repair Guides

Do your Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones experience a buzzing sound when Active Noise Cancelation (ANC) is turned on? Can you hear a whooshing sound, often in one earcup, even in a quiet room? If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, the speaker mic/side (MS) port will need to be replaced.

Do your Sony XM6 wireless headphones (model number: WH-1000XM6) refuse to power on or charge when connected to a power source? Do they require frequent charging or experience sudden shutdowns? If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s time to replace the battery.

A worn-out headband assembly or earpad cushion on your Sony WH-1000XM6 can quietly take the comfort out of an otherwise premium listening experience.

If you experience any of these issues, it is time to replace the headband assembly or earpad cushions on your Sony WH-1000XM6 wireless Bluetooth headphones.
