      We are thrilled to hear that you’re loving your new WF-1000XM6 earbuds! It’s awesome to know that the Active Noise Cancellation is hitting those high standards for you. We’ve put a lot of work into our noise-canceling technology to ensure our customers can truly "cancel" the world out and focus on their music or calls.

      Hearing that they hold their own against the top competition is a huge compliment to our engineering team.

      Hi ChristianM,

      It brings us great satisfaction to hear that you are enjoying the premium sound quality of your new WF-1000XM6. We aim to deliver an unmatched audio experience, though we hear your feedback regarding the touch sensitivity and hands-free controls.

      Finding that perfect balance with the touch sensors can take a moment, but you can actually customize your sensor settings and adjust "Ambient Sound Control" via the Sony Sound Connect app to better suit your flow. Regarding your experience with iPhone compatibility, we are constantly refining our firmware to ensure our tech plays nicely across all ecosystems.

      We truly appreciate this honest feedback as it helps us fine-tune the future of sound.

      Thank you for making Sony part of your daily listening routine.

      Thank you for sharing your honest feedback, Jpal25.

      We are sorry to hear that the WF-1000XM6 didn't quite hit the "great" mark for you, especially regarding the fit and noise cancellation. We strive to provide a premium experience that justifies the investment, and we regret that these didn't stand out compared to other options you've considered.

      Finding the perfect seal is often the key to unlocking the full potential of the noise cancellation and sound quality, so we recommend trying the different ear tip sizes included in the box. Your feedback on the battery life and value is very important to us as we continue to refine our technology. Thank you for giving Sony a try.

      Hi ProTalker,

      We are delighted to hear that you find the sound quality of your WF-1000XM6 to be absolutely terrific!

      We always strive to deliver an unmatched audio experience, so it is great to know the sound signature is hitting the mark for you. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the fit. Since getting a secure seal is so important for both comfort and maximizing our advanced noise cancellation, we highly recommend trying a slight twisting motion when inserting them, or even experimenting with mixing different ear tip sizes for each ear, as ears are rarely identical!

      Thank you for choosing Sony to be your companion for premium, everyday listening!

We put a tremendous amount of work into pushing the boundaries of audio engineering, so knowing that the acoustic performance stands out so significantly to you is fantastic.

    Sound is great, everything else is not great. The ear tips are uncomfortable and don't seem to have a size that seals well without hurting or being loose. From what others say online, buying 3rd part tips are a gamble and don't seal well. The Sony app for these are also terrible. There is little to no control customization, as well as active noise cancelling turning on and off at random with loud pop sounds that hurt.

      Hi Alex,

      We are very sorry to hear that you're having a frustrating experience with your WF-1000XM6 earbuds. For the comfort and seal issues, we recommend using the "Determines Optimal Earbud Tips" tool within the Sony | Sound Connect app, which measures air-tightness to help you find the best fit among the included sizes. Regarding the popping sounds and ANC behavior, please ensure "Adaptive Sound Control" is turned off in the app, as this feature automatically switches settings based on your movement and can sometimes cause audible transitions. If the issue persists, a factory initialization through the app may help resolve these software behaviors.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Hi ELIAMR,

      We are very glad to hear that you are finding your new WF-1000XM6 earbuds to be a great experience!

      We appreciate you sharing your thoughts regarding the noise canceling performance; your feedback is valuable to us. Since active noise cancellation can be heavily influenced by the seal of the ear tips, you might find that experimenting with the different sizes included in the box helps to create an even more secure fit, which can further optimize the isolation and sound quality for your personal listening experience.

      We really appreciate you being part of the Sony family.

    These sound ok, but not really any better than a $30 pair of Tozo ones from Amazon. No matter what size earpiece I use they just dont seem snug, but they're not uncomfortable and they do stay in place. I use them a lot for conference calls and have been told the call quality is amazing, so there is that. I'm not convinced they're worth the high cost and I probably wouldn't buy them again.

      Hi DSwin,

      We are sorry to hear that the audio and fit haven’t fully met your expectations, though we are glad to hear the microphone quality is performing well for your calls. To ensure you are getting the premium experience Sony is known for, we recommend using the "Determines Optimal Earbud Tips" feature in the Sony | Sound Connect app to ensure an airtight seal, customizing your audio profile via the Equalizer settings, and verifying that your firmware is fully updated. For specific troubleshooting steps regarding sound quality and fit, please refer to the Help Guide: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2985/v1/en/contents/F063_Troubleshooting.html.
