Community Reviews
Sony's refurbished WF 1000XM6 earbuds are drawing praise for near new condition and strong sound, with several reports that the units arrive cleaned, reset, and hard to distinguish from new. The biggest draw is improved noise cancelling and a more secure fit than the XM5, along with battery charge limit support and sound that needs little or no EQ. The main tradeoffs are the larger earbud and case size, a short 90 day warranty, and no Sony manufacturer coverage on refurbished units. Replacement tips may be needed for fit or comfort, making this a solid value if the warranty limits do not matter.
Common Questions (5)
Sony does not provide manufacturer warranty coverage for these refurbished units, and support can flag them as recycled/refurbished with no warranty coverage. A 2-year Allstate/SquareTrade warranty is available on some eBay listings from Secondipity, which is why some buyers wait for that version.
Yes, replacement tips can be ordered, and many users swap the stock foam tips for silicone or Comply tips to improve comfort, cleanliness, or fit. Foam tips can seal better for ANC, while silicone tips may feel better and are easier to clean.
The XM6 is a newer model and this refurb price is about half off MSRP, but the XM5 is still a solid cheaper option if you do not need the latest design or slightly better ANC. If your current buds work fine, some buyers would skip the upgrade; if you need replacement earbuds now, the XM6 refurb is considered a strong value.
The XM6 has a larger earbud and case than the XM5, but the new design can fit more securely and stay put better during movement. ANC is reported as improved over the XM5, though tip choice still matters a lot for seal and noise blocking.
The refurb units can arrive cleaned, with replaced pads/tips, and often look brand new with no obvious signs of use. A factory reset is still a good idea before pairing, especially if the previous owner's device tracking is still linked.

The sound. Holly smoke... The sound. Without EQ, these buds hit just right. The bass is just enough for me.
The fit is also excellent. The XM4 didn't fit right, the XM5s is okay but a bit loose and requires regular adjustments. These just drop in and stay there. Went for an hour walk, no adjustment, rock solid!!!
