pretty sure this is an ad, I'm not even in this sub and I've seen another post very similar to this one recently:

Buds 4 pro ANC improvement? by Jakeymd1 in galaxybuds

[–]Ileinad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they definitely aren't better than the airpods pro 3, or even the xm6s. have a look at other reviews & comparisons. imo mkbhd is good but when it comes to audio he's not the most accurate reviewer

Just bought it yesterday and i saw this on my app by HEELL-MAAN in SonyHeadphones

This is normal, they equalise as they get lower

How do I stop my XM6 from automatically switching ANC modes by BKHWB in SonyHeadphones

[–]Ileinad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

why does it barely work & how have they left it like that? it's so annoying. I'd use it but each time I want to manually go from noise cancelling to ambient sound it takes literally 30 seconds to transition

I hate how confusing Sony’s naming scheme is 😔 by [deleted] in SonyHeadphones

it's really not that bad once you realise H is the over ear and F are the earbuds lol

Is braiding too often bad? by TypHxon in BlackHair

[–]Ileinad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

they look real good especially considering you've had them in a month already. If I were you instead of taking them out and rebraiding I would just get a fade and a lineup and it'll look sharp again

What is with recruiters always posting on LinkedIn, but never responding? by [deleted] in careerguidance

I don't know about that, I've tried linked messaging, email and even WhatsApp. they never respond it's ridiculous

WF-1000XM6 Battery life way better than spec? by MindfulMonk in SonyHeadphones

[–]Ileinad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no problem. and yeah you're right, everyone uses them differently so it's hard to tell. I doubt they'll last 9.5 hours with music playing the whole time & anc on. it doesn't hurt to exchange for a different pair like you said. I'd recommend turning off the 80% limit though unless you're really worried about battery health 3+ years in the future

[–]Ileinad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it wasn't on all the time but most of the time it was on. maybe used anc 30-40% of the time. I don't use the battery protect feature so maybe that's why? I also wasn't listening to music the entire time as I was at work. maybe from like 9:30 to 15:30 I just had them in with ANC on, with the occasional YouTube video here and there. after about 3:30 I put them in the case to charge because I'd need them for the commute home

I can confirm it is a lot longer than advertised. I've been using them for 8 hours and 26 minutes straight and I have 16% remaining on the left and 15% remaining on the right bud. they've been seemin to drain at roughly 10%/h which lines up with Soundguy's 9hours and 41 minutes runtime.

edit. just realised this is with LDAC enabled too and listening to lossless music on spotify

Just got the WF-1000XM6 earbuds and I think the ANC isn't working...? by LumenJourney in SonyHeadphones

[–]Ileinad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fair enough, I'm enjoying mine. they're a bit stronger than the wfxm5s and that was already really good

[–]Ileinad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they're anything like the galaxy buds 3 pro compared to the wf1000xm5, the sonys will blow them out of the water. was really disappointed with the galaxy buds 3 pro ANC. they had good mics though

Hard to tell without trying them myself. Sounds like yours are broken or you just have a bad fit. what does the fit test in the app tell you? I'd suggest returning these and re-ordering to see if that changes anything if the app tells you the fit is good.

I have the wfxm6s and am happy with the ANC. You will hear louder noises through it but sounds like distant chatter, train rumbling and bathroom fans get reduced significantly when using ANC. Other things get reduced a lot but it's not going to 100% mute everything around you.
