A ZDNET comparison reviews Sony’s WF-1000XM6 and Apple’s AirPods Pro 3: both offer 8-hour battery life and Bluetooth 5.3, but Sony leads in audio quality, EQ customization, and hi‑res support (LDAC/LC3), making it ideal for audiophiles and non‑Apple users, while AirPods Pro 3 stand out with stronger ANC, more comfortable stem controls, deep Apple ecosystem features (Automatic Switching, Adaptive Audio), and health tools (heart rate, hearing aid mode) with an IP57 rating; the writer ultimately favors AirPods Pro 3 for comfort and Apple integration.
