Customer Ratings & Reviews

In a market flooded with all kinds of earbuds, Sony stands with a small number of others on top of the hill. The new Sony WF-1000XM6 are my new favorite daily drivers. Comfort, sound and quality exceeded all my expectations. I absolutely love them. Inside the eco friendly packaging you get the buds, case, charging cable, 3 extra sets of different size ear plugs and literature basically saying scan the QR code to download the Sound Connect app. As I already have the app for other headsets, pairing was a breeze. Just take out 1 bud while case is open and my phone asked if I wanted to pair instantly. Sound quality is great to amazing. Everything I listened to on my playlists, videos streamed and podcasts sounded perfectly and to my own preferences. In the app itself, you can use multiple presets for the EQ or you can create your own custom choices. The minor issue I mentioned in the title comes from the noise cancellation - pass thru option. What happens is that no matter what I do (I prefer turning on noise cancellation), after I take off the buds, place it down on my desk or even place back into the case, the buds keep turning off noise cancellation and activates pass thru every single time. I have yet to find out if I'm in the wrong here or I just keep missing an option to stop it but it gets annoying when I want to listen to my music and I keep hearing my co-workers gossip instead. Call quality is excellent as well. No issues making and receiving calls and the quality is on par with about all other high end buds. Battery life is great for a normal workday. Sony claims 8 hours on a charge and 16 more from a fully charged case. Also charging the buds for 5 minutes buys you 1hr of playback. So far the claims have held up pretty well. Another thing I should mention is comfort. The body is slightly bigger than I am used to with previous buds, but I got used to it within 5 minutes. Once on, you really can't tell they're in your ears and feel weightless. They do stick out a little, but I have not had any complains of discomfort at all. For the audiophiles, the only codecs I have the option of using are SBC and AAC. No aptX, LDAC etc. I have replaced my Samsung Buds and Sony WF-C710N with these and have never been happier. If you are wanting the best of the best, give a look at the new 1000MX6. You can't go wrong.
