The Sony Sound Connect app is essential for getting the most out of your WF-1000XM6. It's where all the customization happens.

The equalizer is probably what most people care about. You get a full 10-band EQ with plenty of adjustment range. There are presets if you don't want to mess with sliders, or you can use the "Find Your Equalizer" feature – it plays different sound profiles and builds a custom EQ based on what sounds best to you. It's actually pretty clever and takes the guesswork out of tuning.

Noise control settings let you fine-tune both ANC and ambient sound across 20 levels each. You can also set up Adaptive Sound Control, which automatically changes your ANC settings based on what you're doing – walking, running, sitting still, or on public transit.

Touch controls are fully customizable through the app. Single tap, double tap, triple tap, long press – you can assign different functions to each gesture on each earbud. If accidental taps are bugging you, you can disable specific gestures entirely.

The app handles all your connection settings too: multipoint for connecting two devices, choosing between sound quality and connection stability, and managing which Bluetooth codec to prioritize.

Practical stuff like checking battery levels (for each earbud and the case separately), downloading firmware updates, and running a fit test are all in there. The fit test is worth doing – it uses your phone's camera and audio measurements to make sure you're getting a proper seal.

The app's available on both iOS and Android. Some features ask you to create a Sony account, but most stuff works without it.
