best earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best ear buds when it comes to music quality, am a bit disappointed with the ear tips made out of foam as they don't block out some noise even when noise cancelling is on. But overall its a no-brainer to get these. battery life is amazing over 6 hours

Posted .Hi ROGER,
We’re thrilled you're enjoying the music quality and battery life of your WF-1000XM6! To improve noise cancellation, we recommend squeezing the foam tips before insertion and holding them in place for a few seconds to let them expand for an airtight seal. You can also use the "Determines Optimal Earbud Tips" tool in the Sony | Sound Connect app to find your perfect fit: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2985/v1/en/contents/F005_Replacing_the_earbud_tips.html
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Best Earbuds on the Market.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been waiting for some time to replace my Jabra earbuds. I anxiously waited for the announcement of the WF1000XM6 earbuds from Sony. I've been using them for a week and they haven't disappointed. My only gripe is the fit at times, but you won't find a better performing true wireless earbud like these.

Posted .Hi Atown,
We are thrilled to hear that the WF-1000XM6 was worth the wait and that the performance hasn't disappointed! For the best fit, we recommend trying the different sizes of noise isolation earbud tips included in the box to ensure a secure and comfortable seal.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

In ear vs over the ear
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The fit took a lot of attention. The quality is good but the noise cancelling is not to the level of over the ear headphones.

Posted .Hi Rocky282!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It is truly wonderful to know that you are enjoying the quality of your WF-1000XM6 earbuds.
While earbuds offer a more compact fit, we understand that the physical seal of over ear headphones provides a different level of isolation.
Thanks for choosing Sony and sharing your thoughts!

We are glad to hear that the upgrade to the WF-1000XM6 is already making a noticeable difference in your daily listening!
It’s great that the advancements in noise cancellation and sound quality are standing out, especially since we focused on refining the drivers and internal processing for this generation. We’re also happy you’re finding the expanded 10-band EQ in the Sony Sound Connect app useful—it's designed to give you much more granular control over your audio than previous models.
Thank you for staying with the Sony family and for sharing your experience with the new step up!
