Sony’s best noise-canceling earbuds are nearly $100 off today only

Sony's WF-1000XM6 noise-canceling earbuds are on sale today exclusively at B&H Photo, discounted by $92 to a price of $238. This marks a significant reduction from the original price of $329.99. The XM6 earbuds represent a substantial upgrade over their predecessor, the WF-1000XM5, and are currently among the top noise-canceling wireless earbuds available.

Reviewers have praised their ability to effectively block out surrounding conversations, a feature that sets them apart from other earbuds in the market. Sony has also enhanced the bone-conduction sensor and incorporated AI-powered microphones to ensure clear voice communication during calls, even in noisy settings. Beyond superior noise cancellation, the XM6 earbuds boast an impressive sound profile characterized by clean, balanced audio and substantial bass, reflecting Sony's commitment to excellence within the WF-1000XM series.

For users seeking a personalized listening experience, Sony's Sound Connect app provides an array of customization options, allowing users to fine-tune the level of ambient noise they hear and tailor touch controls to their preferences. Additionally, the XM6 earbuds support Sony's LDAC codec, which enables the transmission of higher-quality audio from compatible Android devices.

A new feature in the latest iteration is a listening mode designed to make music sound more akin to background audio in a café, enabling users to enjoy their favorite tunes without being overly immersed in their listening experience.
