Black Friday 2025 is officially delivering the goods, and Sony’s top noise canceling headphones are the stars of the show. The Sony WH-1000XM6 have dropped to $398 ($62 off), marking their lowest price ever. That’s a rare deal for Sony’s newest flagship model.
Sony WH-1000XM6
Good sound quality • Top of the line app • Excellent ANC
MSRP: $449.99
The next iteration of the best Sony headphones
The Sony WH-1000XM6 is every bit a worthy successor to Sony's other ANC headphones as you'd hope. They sound very good, have excellent ANC, and are equipped to handle demanding users. However, the lack of cutting-edge connection options might be an issue as the years go by.

All 1 →This beats the Prime Day discount earlier this year and sets a new price floor for the XM6. But the real value play might be the previous-gen WH-1000XM5, now on sale for $248 ($152 off)—their most aggressive discount yet.
