Sony’s WH-1000XM6 headphones are $130 off today only

If you missed out on Prime Day's headphones deals, Sony's latest flagship WH-1000XM6 noise-canceling headphones are now available for $328 at checkout on B&H Photo, a $130 discount from their original price. These headphones are currently the best prices seen for this model, even cheaper than what major retailers like Amazon and Best Buy offer, including during seasonal sales.

Sony's WH-1000XM6 headphones boast several improvements over their predecessors. The new chip delivers the most powerful active noise cancellation in the series, and the new drivers produce clearer vocals and richer bass. They are ideal for work and daily life outside the office, thanks to enhanced call quality and multipoint Bluetooth, allowing you to stay connected to two devices simultaneously.

The headphones also feature a foldable design, similar to the XM4, making them easier to pack for travel or commuting. Additionally, their wider headband and easily removable earcups contribute to increased comfort during extended listening sessions. The earcups can also be removed for cleaning or replacement.

Battery life remains impressive at up to 30 hours with active noise cancellation enabled, and a new convenience is that you can now charge the headphones while listening, as long as you use a 3.5mm audio cable alongside a USB-C charging cable.
