I will forever be impressed by Sony’s commitment to its obscure naming scheme. Other big brands in tech—especially the audio space—opt for flashing product names aimed to catch your attention. Apple has the AirPods Max. Samsung has the Galaxy Buds. But Sony? These are the WH-1000XM6. These sound more like a SKU number than anything else. You’d more so expect to see this printed on the barcode stuck on the side of the box, rather than printed across the top of the box itself.
Anyway, Amazon happens to have the Sony WH-1000XM6 on sale for 13% off at the moment. These noise-cancelling headphones are usually sold for $460, so this discount ends up shaving off a total of $62. That leaves the price you must pay at only $398 for a limited time.
Co-developed in collaboration with world-renowned mastering audio engineers, the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones can deliver sound like no other. Vocals and instruments come out balanced and pure while the bass comes through booming.
Unparalleled Noise Cancellation
Active noise cancellation is the main feature that separates a premium pair of headphones from other run-of-the-mill options—and Sony really has this function figured out. The Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones are quipped with an HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3 which is seven times faster than the chip found on the previous iteration—the WH-1000XM5. This means the 12 onboard microphones are better equipped at detecting and removing external noises in real time. A once chatty office will sound like a library. The loud whir of the plane you’re on will be reduced to no more than a gentle purr.
The noise reduction tech also does wonders for call quality. The all-new intelligent system can identify and isolate your voice from other sounds from your environments including wind to ensure folks on the other end of the call are able to hear you and only you, crystal clear.
Sony has designed the headphones for all-day comfort. The wide and asymmetrical band sits on your head pressure-free. And you really can wear these all day as the battery can keep you listening for up to 30 hours on a single charge.
The Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones come in five different colors. You have a choice of either black, platinum silver, midnight blue, sandstone, or sand pink. All options are currently marked down with that same 13% discount, so you can pick whichever you happen to find the most stylish and know you’re still getting the best deal.
