The Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones are all the rage right now. A moderately upgraded design with adaptive noise cancellation and proprietary audio technologies have earned them the title of best sound-first headphones here at Mashable. Furthermore, they perform efficiently with all Android and iOS/macOS devices.
However, if you’re solely an Apple user, Sony’s all-new flagship cans aren’t the only noise cancellers to consider. The AirPods Max remain a top choice based on their impeccable integration with Apple products, not to mention their solid noise reduction, striking spatial audio, and ultramodern look.
These are two of the best noise-cancelling headphones money can buy. But which is the smarter investment? When Mashable’s former tech editor compared the previous-gen Sony XM5 headphones to the AirPods Max, she gave Apple the edge. But when it comes to the AirPods Max vs. Sony XM6 headphones, Sony has pulled ahead.
We have a preference, but this is a true win-win situation.
