I have a couple of flights ahead of me and in all honesty, I think I would have a hard time getting through them if it weren't for my Sony WH-1000XM6 noise canceling headphones.
We've all been there. You queue for your flight. You sit down, you put on your seatbelt. And then you hear it. An almighty cry. Maybe even two or three. This will be a long journey.
But that doesn't have to be the case. Look, I was lucky enough to fly several times last year, and when using the Sony WH-1000XM6, I could barely hear anything around me. That's because these cans harness the power of twelve microphones (four more than the Sony WH-1000XM5) to deliver top-notch active noise cancellation.
And there's good news if you're considering purchasing these headphones. The Sony WH-1000XM6 are available for a joint record price of $398 (was $459.99) on Amazon US and just £329 (was £399) on Amazon UK. This is a phenomenal agreement in both territories.
In my Sony WH-1000XM6 review, I described these headphones as “the best of XM4 and XM5 in a new pair of cans.” That's because Sony's flagship headphones deliver all the elegance and swagger of the XM5, but also return to the foldable design of the XM4, ensuring they're stylish but also practical.
But there is more. In terms of sound quality, it's very hard to beat the XM6, especially at this discounted price. They offer a more refined sound signature than their predecessors, with a more balanced approach and wider soundstage. You still get palpable bass and expressive highs here, but the mids are also wonderfully rich, and when you use Sony's higher-resolution LDAC codec, you can experience complexities you may have never heard before.
The currently available discount applies to each of the XM6's color combinations, including black, midnight blue, platinum silver, and the newly added sand pink. So if you want to get the best headphones at a discounted price, be sure to grab the Sony WH-1000XM6 today.
