Sony WF-1000XM6 Review

Im going to start by saying that I think Sony has done a great job of improving their latest products.

I really like the Sony ULT Field 5, I think the Sony Tower 9 is a great sounding box speaker that a lot of people sleep on and I really like Sony’s new TV’s and soundbars… and I was pleasantly surprised by the linkbuds clip. But when it comes to the Sony WF-1000XM6’s… I can’t get excited about these especially when their case is larger than the Sony WF-1000XM5’s.

So for the last 2 years, I feel that Bose has been very stagnate with actually innovating their products, and instead they have just been putting out minor upgrades which honestly could have been software updates, or they just add AI, and they slap a new name on them. And instead of making the hardware changes that are needed… they’ve just been putting out new color ways for all of their products. Now dont get me wrong, I think the Bose Smart Soundbar is a great mid sized sound bar for anyone to consider… I really like the Bose QC Headphones cause they are super comfy. And the Bose QC Ultra Earbuds 2 are super comfortable in ear earbuds, but these are still missing some very crucial hardware updates.
