Sony’s noise-canceling WH-1000XM6 are discounted to their Prime Day low

With back-to-school season in full swing, it feels like we’re stumbling on great deals for students every day. From Kindles to MacBooks, many of our favorite gadgets are currently receiving a discount — including Sony’s latest noise-canceling headphones, the WH-1000XM6. Right now, you can pick them up at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target for around $428 ($20 off), which is a modest discount but also the best one we’ve seen outside of Amazon’s four-day Prime Day event in July.

The XM6 are some of the best noise-canceling headphones available. With upgraded drivers and a new chip, they deliver even better sound than the last-gen XM5, more powerful active noise cancellation, and clearer voice calls. You can also now (finally) charge the headphones while listening to them, though you’ll need to use two cables — one USB-C and a 3.5mm — since Sony still doesn’t support audio over USB-C. Sony has also resurrected the travel-friendly foldable design last seen on the XM4, while widening the headband to reduce pressure.

What’s more, Sony has included all the features we loved in previous models. The transparency mode sounds as natural as ever, and the battery life lasts an impressive 30 hours on a single charge with ANC enabled. You also get conveniences like multipoint Bluetooth support, making it easy for multitaskers to switch between devices.
