    Thanks Sony! You did it again!

    Over the last two years or so I have been looking for the right consumer audio gear for me as a person with a disability. It’s always been difficult for me to find fit and sound quality. I tried all the major brands and even some cheaper brands. I have always loved the Sony sound signature but I’ve never been able to wear them comfortably, but the XM6 line of products has changed everything for me, the headphones, which I have tried every color and now own in Smoky pink are extremely comfortable and lightweight the redesigned headbands and ear cups make a huge difference. Then comes the earbuds and I was shocked. They’re actually the most comfortable earbuds. I’ve worn in a long time. The ergonomic design where it almost is shaped like your ear is amazing. And I love the sound and the shape which makes them easy to get out of the case and insert into my ears. Music has always brought great joy to my life and been a stress reliever and now I’m about to explore country music songwriting, and maybe production and it means everything to me to finally have a consumer audio product line that I can wear and enjoy for years to come like I said in my headphone review I am a Sony fan for life. Keep up the good work and I may also try the rumored high end headphones that are coming out on May 19 thank you Sony for making me very happy

    Sony earbuds for the win

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great earbuds. Set up was easy all I had to do was download the Sony SoundConnect app and connect via Bluetooth. They have a long lasting charge and connect to all of my devices easily. The sound quality is great for all my music and audiobooks. I use the built in ambient sound option and noise canceling option a lot as well which is really nice and relaxing. They are very lightweight and rest very comfortably in my ear. The case is small, modern and sleek looking for easy charging and storage.

    Best investment earbuds - Sony XM-1000XM6

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just got my hands on the Sony WF-XM6s (yay!!!). Honestly they’re a total game-changer !! The new design is so sleek and low-profile. Super small and easy to put in your pocket. Perfect match with my headphone which I use at home. They have different size of buds and actually stay tucked in while I’m hitting a workout. Sound quality: can’t doubt with Sony at all. Noise- canceling: works perfectly in classrooms, groceries store, crowded places. Only one touch to receive the call. Plus, battery life is the beast If you’re looking for the perfect mix of aesthetic and performance, this is your best investment 🥳🎶🎶

    Clear sound

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that they have the different sizers so you can really find your perfect fit. They sound good once you get the app set up (which is not the greatest) and I love that you can change the settings for noise cancelling and hearing the world around you. I wish it was easier to find something to carry the case on a keychain to make them more portable and I wish they were a little sturdier in my ear when working out, but the sound is so much better than the competition so I’m willing to play around with the sizing on that front.

    Noise cancelling ain't all it's cracked up to be

    Ok ish DEFINITELY not worth the price tag. Noise cancelling is mid at best....not sure what all the reviews saying it's the best noise cancelling ever were going on about...works with music on but when silent or podcasts it's doing nothing noise cancelling is coming from ear buds blocking noises nothing much else

    Upgrade with caveats.

    Bought the XM6s after losing my XM4s two weeks ago. TLDR, I was not impressed. Definitely not worth the price compared to the features or lack of. Sound - The sound profile seems to have been improved quite a bit! They are not as bass heavy as the XM4s were and the factory tuning gives off a flat response feel even though it is definitely not. ANC - ANC was the most disappointing aspect of this upgrade for me. I have been using the same foam tips I had for XM4s. The quality of the ANC is far better blocking most if not all outside sound making. Especially when media is playing, it is so easy to get fully immersed in music! That said, if no media is playing the XM6s come with a quite noticeable noise floor. It's like having a white noise machine going. Thing is that white noise goes completely away when media playback is resumed. But it is quite annoying since I have been used to using my XM4s to completely isolate and focus in silence but the ANC noise floor of the XM6s makes it just annoying. Audio passthrough - Worse than the XM4s. The passthrough sound sounds tinny and lacking any depth. It does not sound good enough to even have a normal conversation while wearing them. It just does not sound natural. Microphones - The additional microphones work wonders during phone calls. My XM4s were unusable in most outdoor situations. The XM6s are not amazing as the feedback I got was that my voice sounded muffled. That said the environment was either too windy or had a lot of background noise so the fact they could hear me at all was a miracle considering the quality on the XM4s but still worse than other market leaders. Battery life - Exceptional. Have been using them on my commute and did not manage to discharge them to less than 60%. Considering their battery is brand new its is expected but the life protect feature added in the app is very welcome since I am planning on holding onto to them for years. Design - I had seen a few reviews talk down the new case design calling it bulky but do not feel the same. The shape makes it uncomfortable to carry around but volume wise I feel it's pretty similar to the XM4s. Wireless charging is always welcome. The earbuds themselves feel light enough to forget they are in. Being used to the heavier XM4s these ones feel like they are so easy to fall out even though they sit very nicely. Features and improvements: - It is amazing I can use either the left or the right earbud on their own again. Also individual earbud ANC is a great option. - The multi point connection feature seems to have improved vastly since there are no weird connection hiccups to be found anymore. - Allowing double and triple tap actions on both earbuds is also great allowing me to control almost all main playback functions and volume control from the earbuds alone. Overall, the XM6s are decent and offer good ANC. The sound quality is great and call quality was a vast improvement from the XM4s. Even though a lot of things improved, I did not feel as happy with my purchase as I did when I got the XM4s at the same price.

    Clear and amazing sound

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Sony WF-1000XM6 Wireless Noise Cancelling earbuds and the sound quality is honestly amazing, very clear audio, the bass is not that deep and the noise cancelling works extremely well. Music and calls both sound premium and they definitely feel high end overall. My only downside is the fit and comfort, even using the smallest earbuds tips they still fall out of my ears pretty easily and start feeling uncomfortable after awhile. I have small ear canals, so they may just not be the best shape for everyone.

    Hi CinthyaD, We're glad you're enjoying the premium sound and noise cancelling! To help with the fit, please try using the "Airtightness Test" in the Sony Headphones Connect app and use a "twist-to-lock" motion when inserting them. For more fitting tips, please visit: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00262839. Thanks for choosing Sony. Best regards, Eliab

    I would definitely recommend these definitely are

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really great earphones, especially if you are looking for something to listen to while you study the noise cancelation on those come super handy. The only downside side of this is that it does tent to slip when you sweat as you work out so readjusting is necessary. I’d definitely give these a try though the clarity is insane.

    Thank you for the fantastic review, JesusM! We’re thrilled to hear that the "insane" clarity and noise cancellation are helping you stay focused while you study. It’s awesome to know they’ve become a key part of your routine! We appreciate the feedback regarding the fit during workouts. To help with the slipping, we recommend trying the different ear tip sizes included in the box to find the most secure seal for active use. Thank you for choosing Sony!

    Great connectivity and battery life

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like these headphones. I need a new repair to replace my AirPods that kept losing connection and these work way better. I have them connected to my phone and laptop at the same time so I can skip between calls on my cell and laptop without having to disconnect from one and connect to the other. Sound quality and microphone are both great and had no issues. I have been using them for over a month and the battery life is awesome. I use them all day on one charge. Solid material and they don’t feel flimsy. The fit is decent but not as comfortable as others. But overall the over pluses outweigh the fit as it is only a minor issue.

    ANC what?

    So disappointed in these earbuds. The noise canceling is almost nonexistent. I was concerned trying them out at home when I could hear my family in other rooms of the house and have a conversation with ANC on. Now that I’ve been on a plane with them, I have to return them. I was toggling the ANC on and off and had a hard time telling which was which! I’ve tried different tips, checked the fit with the app, and nothing is helping. I used to have Bose QuietComfort II and, despite their quirks, I’d take them over these any day (sadly, left the on another flight). I did give these three stars because the sound quality in a quiet environment is very good. But the poor ANC is going to make me return them.
    1 reply from Sony North America Customer Support team - 1 month ago
    Hi Traveler13, Thank you for providing such detailed feedback. We are concerned to hear that the noise canceling performance has been underwhelming, particularly during your recent flight. We want you to experience the full isolation these earbuds are designed to deliver, and we would like to help resolve this. To address the performance issues you're describing, we recommend the following steps: 1- Check for Updates: Please verify that your earbuds are running the latest firmware through the Sony | Sound Connect app. We consistently release software improvements that specifically refine the noise-canceling processing and environmental adaptation. 2- Initialize the Headset: Since you have already confirmed a proper fit with the earbud tips, there may be a software glitch affecting the ANC toggle. We recommend Initializing the headset to restore factory settings, which can often clear up processing errors. You can follow the guide here: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2985/v1/en/contents/F065_Initializing_the_headset_to_restore_factory_settings.html We want to ensure your pair is functioning exactly as it should. If the ANC remains difficult to distinguish from the "Off" setting after the reset, please contact our technical support team directly so we can provide further assistance: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones Thank you for considering Sony!

    Public safety

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed the feature of being able to hear the outside world while wearing these headphones. I wore them on my morning commute on the bus, and being able to hear what's going on around you is a must for safety reasons I like the app that allows you set the equalizer depending on the music you are listening to. It includes different size earbud sizers. Although I didn't use them. I found the earbuds comfortable just as they arrived. I didn't worry about them falling out of my ears. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great listening experience. Sounds better than Air pods.

    Premium earbuds with excellent noise cancelling, r

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Sony WF-1000XM6 earbuds for a few weeks now, and they’ve honestly exceeded my expectations. The noise cancelling is outstanding. it blocks out background noise really effectively. The sound quality is where these earbuds really shine. The audio is crisp, balanced, and rich, with deep bass. They’re also very comfortable to wear for long periods. I was worried about ear fatigue, but the fit is secure without being too tight. Battery life is solid. I can go through most of the day without needing to recharge, and the case gives multiple extra charges.
