-
Noise cancellation
It cuts low engine and traffic noise strongly but lets more voices through. The WF-1000XM6 blocks more mid- and high-frequency noise.
-
Lighter buds and case
The buds and case are lighter than the WF-1000XM6's, and the case is smaller. Reviewers found the fit with the foam tips secure and comfortable.
-
Bass-heavy sound
The default tuning boosts bass, while vocals stay clear. The app's EQ and Clear Bass setting can turn the bass down.
