Q: Are they suitable for use during motorcycle rides with a helmet? Should they help reduce wind noise?
A: undefined
Q: Can they be use with an android ?
A: Yes and they work well
A: Hi Mitch, The Sony WF-1000XM6 earbuds are designed for both industry-leading noise cancellation and high-quality music playback from any Bluetooth-connected source. While the active noise cancellation (ANC) is designed to significantly reduce ambient sound for a near-silent experience, please keep in mind that no earbuds can block out 100% of all external noise entirely, especially without audio playing. Thanks for choosing Sony. Best regards, Eliab
Q: Can you use only one at a time? I generally only use 1 bud depending on the situation. Thanks!
A: Hi Jason7, Yes, you can use either the left or right earbud independently. When using only one earbud, the audio will automatically switch to monaural so you don't miss any part of your music. Thanks for choosing Sony. Best regards, Eliab
Q: How long is the battery life and can it handle heavy duty noice example power tool or train noise.
A: Thank you for contacting Sony, Ray. The WF-1000XM6 offers a total battery life of up to 24 hours (8 hours on the earbuds and an additional 16 hours with the case). As for noise, our advanced noise-canceling is designed to excel at blocking out consistent, heavy-duty sounds like train engines and constant machinery. While it will significantly dampen power tool noise for a better listening experience, please remember they aren't rated as safety ear protection for high-decibel construction work!

Q: How good are these for outdoor sports such as mountain biking?
A: Thank you for contacting Sony, Pretribrapper. The WF-1000XM6 are a great companion for mountain biking thanks to their IPX4 water-resistance rating, which handles sweat and unexpected splashes with ease. We appreciate your interest in Sony products.
