I’ve been lucky enough to spend the last two weeks testing the Sony WF-1000XM6 earbuds — the brand’s flagship earbuds — and they’ve earned a coveted spot in my earbuds rotation. They do everything I could possibly need. As an advocate for over-ear earphones, it takes a lot for a pair of earbuds to win me over, but the XM6s have done it with ease.
They have an improved design with 11% width reduction from the previous model for ultimate comfort (although the case design feels a little odd). The 8-hour battery life with ANC turned on also means I can use them all day long without worrying about running out of juice.
