Louder than the last gen
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the last gen and they were pretty good. I bought these since they came out recently and they sound louder than the old ones.

Extraordinary sonic experience
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded from the Song xm5 earbuds. I also own a pair of Apple AirPod pros 3. Least to say, the new Sony WF XM6’s blow the airpod pros 3 out of the water sound quality wise. The richness and depth the xm6’s manage to capture in most of the songs in my playilist is simply unmatched. I also think the xm6’s earbuds, although a bit “bulbier” thanks to the redesign, are lighter and comfier than the previous xm5s (and boast a slightly wider soundstage by comparison). Overall, it’s a purchase I’m glad I made and would again (and will probably be looking to hawk off my airpods pro 3 soon..)

Posted .Hi Mpc186,
We are beyond pleased to hear that the WF-1000XM6 has blown you away with its richness and depth! It is incredibly rewarding to know that our latest redesign is delivering the "unmatched" sound quality and expanded soundstage you were looking for. We are also glad to hear that, despite the new shape, you are finding them even lighter and more comfortable for long listening sessions than the previous generation.
Thank you for making the switch and choosing Sony!

It's Ok
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good sound but I bought these for a reason. I have 2 phones if am playing Pandora on my personal phone and someone call me on my work phones these earbuds would not allow me to answer the work phone while listening to Pandora on my personal phone so I returned them and purchase the Sony WF-1000XM5 earbuds

Posted .Hi Cshep,
Thanks for the feedback. We’re really glad you enjoyed the sound quality, but we are so sorry that the Multipoint connection didn't work the way you needed it to for your two phones.
We’re sorry that this led to a return, but we are happy to hear you stayed with Sony by picking up the XM5s. We hope they're working out much better for you!
We value your input. Thanks for choosing Sony.
Warm regards,
Estefany
Best ANC
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ANC is so far one of the best I have tried. For reference, I have used AirPods Pro 3 and 2, I also have over the head Bose Ultra Quiet Comfort. But I think the Sony's are still better. Only problem I noticed is the fitment, I kinda have to jam it really good in my ears to get a good seal.

Posted .Hello Harrys,

We're excited to hear that the ANC performance of the WF-1000XM6 earbuds ranks among the best you’ve experienced, even alongside other top brands. We appreciate your honest feedback about the fitment and apologize for any discomfort it may cause. To help improve the seal and comfort, we recommend checking this guide for tips on achieving the best fit: https://helpguide.sony.net/ht/2100/v1/en/contents/010_Checking_the_Package_Contents_2100.html.

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!

Posted .Hi Atchapa,
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!

Posted .Hi GabrielM,
Muchas gracias por tus comentarios. Es fantástico saber que estás disfrutando de la excelente calidad de sonido que ofrecen los WF-1000XM6.
Con respecto a la comodidad, lamentamos que las almohadillas no te resulten del todo agradables. Al estar fabricadas con un material de espuma diseñado para sellar el ruido exterior, la sensación puede ser distinta a la de modelos anteriores. Te sugerimos probar los diferentes tamaños que vienen en la caja para asegurar el ajuste más natural posible. Tomamos nota de tu observación para seguir perfeccionando la ergonomía de nuestros diseños.
Gracias por elegir Sony!
