Sony's WF-1000XM6 noise-canceling earbuds are available for $238 at B&H Photo, a $92 discount from the $329.99 list price. The retailer is offering the deal on the black model today only, marking an all-time low for the device. This pricing makes the latest generation cheaper than the previous WF-1000XM5 model, which is currently not discounted at other retailers.
The WF-1000XM6 represents a significant upgrade over its predecessor, with performance that places it among the top wireless earbuds for noise cancellation. John Higgins, writing a review of the product, noted that the XM6 does a better job of tuning out other people's conversations than any other earbuds he has tested. Sony has improved the bone-conduction sensor and added AI-powered microphones to these features. These additions help keep the wearer's voice clear during calls, even in noisy environments.
Audio quality in the XM6 is described as clean and balanced, with impressive bass that raises expectations for the WF-1000XM series. The earbuds support Sony's LDAC codec, which delivers higher-quality audio from compatible Android devices. For users who prefer to customize their listening experience, the Sound Connect app provides various options. This includes adjusting how much surrounding noise is heard without removing the earbuds and personalizing touch controls.
A new listening mode in the latest set makes music sound more like background audio playing in a cafe. This feature allows users to listen to their favorite music without becoming too distracted from other activities. B&H Photo is currently the only retailer offering this specific discount on the WF-1000XM6.
