We did not get any new WF-1000XM6 or WH-1000XM6 models this year, but there are some good deals to be had this year during Black Friday sales for the current models. with some over 50% off.

This review has gone through various versions, hopefully this is the last one. Sony's entry earbuds were announced at the end of August. I was going to pre-order but retail availability was mid September, so I decided to wait. When I saw a retailer stocking them, I snapped up a black pair which arrived on September 5th. I have been using the earbuds almost every day since then, so almost 3 months.
Apart from the general review, I will also be comparing the WF-C510 to the WF-C500, WF-C700N, and WF-1000XM4. All of my listening comparisons were performed with the EQ off. The comparisons will be obviously subjective, and other users will have different opinions.
News is slow, but we have another new wireless headset code from Sony, the YY2986. A new model just appeared on an Indonesian certification site. Unlike the previous new model, YY2984, we have some additional information with this certification. We know the headset will feature noise cancellation and that is made in Vietnam.
Just my luck, as I was writing up a post that Android 14 update would most likely drop very soon, the update drops. Ah great timing.
For anyone following recent news events in the US, you will undoubtedly know that tariffs and price increases are coming in 2025. The new incoming administration wants to add 60% tariffs on all goods coming from China and 10% from other countries. This is a pretty drastic hike and could increase the price of Sony's upcoming products in 2025.
