Great upgrade, but needs more ear tip sizes
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like these earbuds overall. The noise canceling is a noticeable step up from my last pair, and the phone call quality is much better too—people can actually hear me clearly now. However, I kept my rating at 4 stars because of the comfort; they still kind of hurt my ears after wearing them for a bit. There really needs to be a wider variety of sizes to choose from for the earbud portion that goes into your ear to get a proper fit. If they fit perfectly, these would easily be a 5/5.

We’re thrilled to hear that the noise cancellation and call quality on your WF-1000XM6 are a noticeable step up for you—clear communication and silence are exactly what we aimed for with this model.
We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding comfort. Achieving the perfect fit is essential for long listening sessions, and we'll certainly share your suggestion for a wider variety of tip sizes with our design team. In the meantime, we recommend trying each of the included sizes to see if a mix-and-match approach provides a more comfortable seal for your specific ear shape.

Best noise-cancelling and very good sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really lke these headphones. I've owned quite few from various manufacturers over the years, and the new Sony XM6 sounds very good and are best at noise-cancelling. I got them primarily to block out loud conversations and background noise at the gym and they work great. Also, they continue to work well at a fairly long distance from my phone (eg, between the 1st floor kitchen and upstairs bedroom.

Great Buds.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These earbuds sound great and are some of my favorite pair of earbuds I’ve ever owned. Having the ability to create custom sound profiles is a great feature. ANC works exceptionally well on these. They drown out 99% of all outside noise when I have these on. My only concern initially was the ear tips. They take some time to get useful and can be a bit painful if you have smaller ears like myself. Over time though I felt like they fit better and don’t feel the same discomfort.

Posted .Hi Phoneguy,
It’s rewarding to hear that the WF-1000XM6 has earned a spot as one of your favorite pairs of earbuds ever! We are especially glad that you are taking full advantage of the custom sound profiles and experiencing the "99%" noise reduction provided by our latest ANC technology. Regarding the initial fit, we appreciate your patience; our noise-isolating foam tips are designed to mold to the unique shape of your ear canal over time to ensure that perfect seal, and it is great to know they have become much more comfortable for you.
Thank you for being a part of the Sony family.

Good for daily carry
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good. Sound quality is pretty good and the case is small for what it is. Me personally I get annoyed if the earbuds can’t fit in the coin pocket on my jeans. This checks all of my boxes and manages to just barely edge out the sennheiser momentum ear buds

New design, more balanced sound
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I waited to upgrade from the Mark 4. I had reservations about it at first because I didn’t feel the difference until I really took them out for a stroll. The fit is great. The noise cancelling is excellent. I use an iPhone which I know limits its feature set. I just never liked the sound of AirPods. I do hope for more features to be available in future firmware updates. I still think they were worth the purchase.
