The Sony WF-1000XM6 became my exclusive daily drivers after just a few days because the ANC is excellent and the overall experience feels more modern and feature-rich. I love the balanced tuning, the punchy bass without harsh highs, and the insane EQ/app customization that lets me dial them in exactly how I want.
Pros
+Excellent active noise cancellation in real-world outdoor noise
+Most comfortable Sony earbuds I’ve tried so far
+Strong battery life (about 7–10 hours depending on usage)
+Deep customization: many ambient levels, voice pass-through, and more EQ control
Cons
-Foam tips can be less hygienic and show wax/dirt easily
-Foam expansion can cause pressure fatigue over time (especially if you sleep with them in)
-Higher price compared to Bose when Bose is on sale
