Sony WH-1000XM6 — October Prime Day Deal

Sony’s WH-1000XM6 are on sale for $430 during October Prime Day — $20 off and a record low for this model. If you’re looking to save more, the previous-gen WH-1000XM5 is also discounted to $298.

Why consider the XM6?

• New QN3 audio chip and redesigned drivers for richer detail and clearer vocals.
• Improved active noise cancellation with four extra microphones — especially better at blocking voices.
• Optional 360 Spatial Sound and other sound processing (360 Reality Audio, DSEE Extreme upscaling).
• Battery: up to 30 hours with ANC on, up to 40 hours with ANC off.

Quick comparison

WH-1000XM6 (newer): better sound, improved ANC, spatial audio features. WH-1000XM5 (2022): still excellent sound and ANC at a lower price if you want value.
