My "3rd" Generation of Sony WF Earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the MX4 for 2 years and, according to the Sony Sound Connect app, I racked up 1446 hrs 51 mins of listening before one the batteries started to fail. By that time, the MX5 had been released, which I also had for about 2 years racking up 2411 hrs 16 mins of listening. I'm hoping the MX6s last just as long as the MX5s. The only real pet peeve I have with these are lack of EOM ear tips. Sony used to sell them, but stopped for whatever reason. The Chinese knockoff ones on Amazon or whatever just aren't the same. Also, I love keeping my earbud charging case in a holder with a latch to keep it closed, so far I can't find any that don't have a delivery window of Mid-April.

Posted .Hi Superdave,
It’s incredible that you’ve logged over 3,800 hours across three generations of Sony earbuds! We are confident the new Battery Care features on your WF-1000XM6 will help these last just as long. For the tips, the XM6 is fully compatible with official Sony EP-NI1010 replacements to ensure you get that genuine fit you prefer.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,

Audition Sony’s New XM6 Earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall best earbuds I have ever owned. Unmatched clarity, detail, with noticeable low end, and a “live” recording sounds like your there in the audience.

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!

Mediocre fit ruins full package
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Could not get a good seal in one ear. Because of this ANC was not that good. Interestingly the sound was pretty good.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Thank you for your feedback, Goretex!
We’re glad you enjoyed the sound quality, but we’re sorry to hear about the fit issues affecting your noise cancellation. Achieving a tight seal is essential for the ANC to perform at its best.
We recommend trying the different sizes of ear tips included in the box—it’s actually quite common to need a different size for each ear! You can also use the "Determining Optimal Earbud Tips" test within the Sony | Sound Connect app to find your perfect fit.
Thank you 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!

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
