The Sony WF-1000XM6 comes with four sizes of ear tips right in the box: SS (extra-small), S (small), M (medium), and L (large). They ship with medium already installed.

The tips are made from this hybrid material that's kind of a mix between silicone and memory foam. It's designed to compress and mold to your ear canal for a good seal, which matters a lot for both comfort and how well the noise cancellation works.

Finding your size: Sony recommends starting with the larger tips and working down. Your goal is finding tips that seal your ear canal snugly but don't create pressure or discomfort. Also—and this trips people up—your left and right ears might need different sizes. That's totally normal.

There's actually a fit test in the app. Open Sony Sound Connect, find the "Optimal Earbud Tips" function, and it'll play some tones while measuring how much sound leaks out. You'll get a pass/fail for each ear. Pretty handy.

If none of the included tips work for you, don't give up on the earbuds. Third-party tips can make a huge difference:

• Comply makes memory foam tips that are way more comfortable for a lot of people
• Spinfit has silicone options with flexible cores
• AZLA SednaEarfit is another popular premium choice

Just make sure whatever tips you buy fit in the charging case. Some thicker foam tips won't close properly, which is annoying.

A lot of people who initially disliked the XM6's fit ended up loving them after swapping tips. Worth budgeting an extra fifteen bucks or so if the stock tips don't click for you.
