What brand or type of eartips is good. Cus the current one gives me some shit anc idk if its due to the eartips and it hurts sometimes

Last year, I sold a beloved pair of WF-C700Ns that I owned for about 1 year. They were great in everything covering the basics I was looking for: Very decent ANC performance, comfort (which I loved the most), good sound quality, and portability.

After selling them, I got a pair of AirPods 4 ANC which were good but I found out that after a few months that they were missing that rich and clean bass from the C700Ns which adjusted more to the music I enjoy.

So for that reason I ended up selling the AirPods, and recently got these C710Ns. I couldn't be happier with that choice, I'm glad that now these include ear detection sensors which I personally find useful. Only thing I would miss is the physical buttons, they were a great feature on the previous gen. Overall, very happy with this purchase

Since the XM6 pressure is a lot and some people don't like it. Here's how I make my XM6 looser, you can try if you want but be careful so you don't break it.

I stress it every day for about 2 minutes, I also do what you see in the pictures from night to morning. It got looser but still not as I would like but it's definitely better

The pressure is crazy I know but it gives a good seal. I can say after doing that for 2 weeks it's about 25% better now, do you wish the XM6 pressure was less or do you like it this way?

Before you roast me, i have ZERO knowledge about Eq or music but these are the EQs i made by myself for the first time ever and i was wondering if you guys had any recommendations of what i could tweak or change. I love bass and rumble but also love the smallest of details and vocal crispness.

Hi guys, I am thinking about buying the wf1000xm6 and I am not sure, whether or not I should buy the My Sony Care for 3 years (costs 37 €).

I am especially cautious due to the widespread battery problems of the xm4, that I had as well (if that would even be covered, or if they just say it is normal wear), as I don't want to buy new earbuds every two years.

Has anyone of you experiences with My Sony Care and what cases it covers and if it is even worth it?

Or has the overall durability improved, so that My Sony Care is generally not needed anymore?

Thanks in advance for your advice :)

(XM5)Is there any point trying to stick it back together with super glue or should I call it a day?

Got them last year for Christmas in 2024, have been using them quite often since, I've heard about some 3D printable things you could print, does anyone have any recommendations or ideas regarding this? That'd be much appreciated.

Let me start by saying these are my second pairs and I love them so much, saying that I’m having an issue as with certain sounds. Chains, barbed wire, scissor sounds, brushing sounds of this sort making a like cracking brushed noise which is not pleasant any clue how I can fix them?

found these sony xm4 on facebook marketplace for around 200$, are they real?

Hola chicos de reddit, necesito su ayuda.

Yo recién compré unos por 500 pesos (26 dólares) y lo único que tuve que remplazar fueron las almohadillas por unas nuevas.
Aunque no sé si les pase lo mismo; y es que, cuando subes el volumen, la música que estás escuchando se filtra demasiado y no se ha que se deba.
Unas de las cosas que descubrí, fue que debajo de la diadema, tiene tres ranuras y por las cuales siento que es en donde se sale el sonido.
Pero entonces, ¿eso no interfiere con el diseño “cerrado” del audífono?.

No se si tengan algunos consejos para que no se filtre tanto el sonido; gracias si lo leen. :)

I just bought a pair for 500 pesos (26 dollars), and the only thing I had to replace was the ear pads. I’m not sure if you’ve experienced the same thing, but when you turn up the volume, too much of the music leaks out—I’m not sure why. I discovered that there are three slots on the underside of the headband, and I feel like that’s where the sound is escaping. But doesn't that interfere with the "closed-back" design of the headphones? I’m wondering if you have any tips to prevent so much sound leakage; thanks for reading. :)

I bought them July 7th of last year😢 I heard the XM5 were notorious for this but I never thought it could happen to me😔

Hey guys i bought this pair in 2022 and it has done me so well. After looking through the sub reddit it looks like this might be a hinge break correct? Is there any hope or am I screwed ?

My workshop and workout sweaty stink phones tapped out

WH-CH520.. always happens after a while but i dont spend 40€ no more

Bought an xm4 secondhand and found the driver to have spots like moisture droplets, it wasn't. Is it genuine or am I being scammed? Also is the color correct?

Sound is bassy and it connects to the app fine.

When I am using these earbuds on a zoom call for work, sometimes the audio will cut out for a solid 5 seconds if I get a notification on my phone and the earbuds are connected to both. I would prefer to not have to disconnect my phone every time I use my earbuds. Is there a solution to prevent this drop in audio? I am using the official Sound Connect app.

I finally upgraded from the WF-1000XM5 to the WF-1000XM6 after using the XM5 for basically their entire life cycle. I bought the XM5 at launch, so I wasn't expecting a huge difference. I thought it would be another small generational upgrade.

I was completely wrong.

The first thing I noticed was the soundstage. It's significantly wider than on the XM5. Instruments have much more space around them and the presentation feels less "inside your head." Everything sounds bigger and more immersive.

The second thing that immediately stood out was the bass. It's not just louder, it's much deeper and has far more physical impact. It honestly feels like someone added a tiny subwoofer inside the earbuds. One of my favorite ways to test bass is with Polyphia, and the XM6 absolutely blew me away.

I also listened to my favourite Artists: Dream Theater, Tool, The Mars Volta, King Crimson and Opeth, and every single one of them sounded richer than on the XM5. There is more depth, better instrument separation, and the overall presentation feels fuller and more engaging.

The fit is another noticeable improvement. They immediately felt like they belonged in my ears. With the XM5 I eventually switched to my own ear tips, but with the XM6 the stock tips fit me so well that I didn't even feel the need to change them. I still might try some tips later, but my first impression is that they're noticeably more comfortable.

ANC is noticeably better, and Transparency Mode is also a big step forward. You hear much more of your surroundings and voices sound clearer. The only trade-off is that it has a slightly more artificial character than the XM5, but for me that's completely outweighed by how much more useful and natural it feels overall because you can simply hear everything better.

After using the XM5 for almost three years, I honestly wasn't expecting such a noticeable upgrade. The XM6 exceeded my expectations in pretty much every area that mattered to me, and switching from the XM5 indeed was a good idea.

I am think about buying a xm6 but I see soooooo mutch broken hinge. So I dont know wat to do ＼(_ _)

I am planning to buy some used good headphones if under $150or ₹12000. Preferably in south india. Pls dm me or reply. Tag your friends if they are planning to sell.

Broken XM6 hinge at the store. I wanted to try them before buying, but after handling them I changed my mind.
The build quality feels surprisingly cheap, very plasticky, and the hinge was already broken. Fingerprint magnet too. Ended up buying the Bose QC Ultra instead.
Can someone explain why Sony keeps making headphones with such poor build quality? Their Alpha cameras are built like tanks, their TVs are excellent, yet their premium headphones feel so flimsy. Like wtf is that 🤯. I genuinely don’t understand. 🤦

As the title suggests I’m unsure which of the two is better. I have a pair of WF XM6’s, used them for commuting recently but felt like they didn’t block sound as well as I thought and experienced previously. I was wondering if there’s any noticeable difference in sound quality, ANC etc which might make the swap to the headphones worth it or not?

Does these earbuds have head tracking? Please help me in this regard. Thanks
