On May 15, Sony released its newest flagship headphones, the noise-cancelling WH-1000XM6 headphones. The new headphones have improved noise cancellation and sound, but there’s a catch — they cost $449.99. That’s about $50 more than the previous version, and hardly a surprise in the tariff era. Still, that’s a big ask for music lovers.
As I noted in my full review, “other flagship headphones from brands like Bose, Dyson, Sonos, and Apple have all come in at $449 and above. If you’re a music lover who wants the best possible sound, that’s the new price of admission, folks.”
Mashable has been testing the new wireless headphones over the past couple weeks, and you can read our full review of the new cans (spoiler alert: they sound fantastic). But if you’re ready to pass go, drop $450, and collect your new headphones, you can already purchase them at Sony, Amazon, Best Buy, and other retailers.
Sony’s flagship headphones always rank among the very best noise-cancelling headphones, and the XM6 are no exception. In this post, we’ll cover what’s new, what’s not, and other need-to-know details on the latest Sony noise cancellers.
