Sony’s WH-1000XM6 provides superior noise cancellation while delivering studio-quality sound for all your favorite tracks. These aren’t the most affordable at $460, but if the high price tag has been holding you back from grabbing a pair, Amazon currently has a deal that makes picking them up a lot easier.
The retailer is now offering the WH-1000XM6 headphones for just $398, after a nice 13% discount. The offer applies to Black, Midnight Blue, Platinum Silver, and Sand Pink models. Sandstone is also down to $398 and comes with a $30 Amazon gift card that can be used towards other purchases. These deals, however, are likely to wrap up soon, so we suggest placing your orders as soon as you can.
Comfortable to wear for extended periods
The pair is comfortable to wear. It features a wider, asymmetrical headband covered in premium synthetic leather that ensures a pressure-free fit, so you can have it on for extended periods without any noticeable discomfort. Carrying it around is quite convenient, since it folds into a compact shape and also comes with a magnetic case that houses it securely.
Of course, sound quality is where the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones really shine. Sony has developed these in collaboration with world-renowned mastering audio engineers. There’s a specially designed driver with a lightweight carbon fiber dome to deliver clear vocals with well-balanced music. The result? Bold, crisp sound with plenty of detail across all your favorite songs, podcasts, and more.
The HD noise-cancelling processor in these headphones is another major upgrade, since it’s seven times faster than the one used in the previous generation. The system works with 12 microphones that detect external noise in your environment and counter it with opposite sound waves. This lets you stream without any background distractions getting in your way. It’s ideal for when you want to get some work done in crowded spaces, plus during long commutes.
Another listening mode is Auto Ambient Sound. This one balances music and external sounds, making it easy to stay aware of what’s happening around without taking the headphones off. You can switch between modes, manage music, and tweak volume by quick tap/swipe gestures on the headphones. Need more control and precision? Use the Sony Sound Connect app on your smartphone to customize noise cancellation levels, adjust ambient sound, personalize EQ settings, etc.
Battery-wise, you’re looking at up to 30 hours of listening on a single charge. These also recharge fairly quickly, as a quick three-minute top-up can get you around three more hours of playback – great for busy days where you don’t want to plug them in for longer!
The current 13% discount lets you enjoy all this and more for $398. All colors are discounted, but the offer won’t last long. Grab a pair quickly before the price shoots back up.
