The XM6 are a solid upgrade over their predecessor and easily amongst the best noise-canceling wireless earbuds on the market. In his review, John Higgins noted that they do a better job of tuning out other people’s conversations than any other earbuds he’s tested. Sony has also improved the bone-conduction sensor and added AI-powered microphones that help keep your voice clear during calls, even in noisy environments.The XM6 earbuds also deliver clean, balanced sound with impressive bass, raising the bar of what we expect with Sony’s WF-1000XM series. If you prefer to customize your listening experience, Sony’s Sound Connect app offers plenty of customization options, including the ability to adjust how much surrounding noise you hear without removing the earbuds. You can also personalize the touch controls.The XM6 earbuds support Sony’s LDAC codec, which delivers higher-quality audio from compatible Android devices, too. New in the latest set is a listening mode that makes music sound more like background audio playing in a cafe, allowing you to listen to your favorite music without getting too distracted from whatever you’re doing.

Using my PS Vita for media beyond gaming came naturally, mostly because of the amazing homebrew community. I tried Swiftfin to stream content from my Jellyfin server, but one aspect was still missing: music.

CoreWeave’s debt is becoming the whole AI industry’s problem

Self-hosting doesn’t actually save you money, and the people who promise it does are setting beginners up to quit

I run a Proxmox server with mirrored enterprise drives, a retired RTX 3080, and more containers than I’d like to admit, and I’d recommend self-hosting to almost anyone who’s curious. What I wouldn’t do is promise them it’ll save money, but a lot of home lab enthusiasts lead with that....
