Sony’s best noise-cancelling headphones can now be yours for just £298.
Amazon has trimmed the Sony WH-1000XM6 from their £399 RRP, a 25% cut that takes them right back to the £298 they hit last Black Friday and matches the lowest price they have reached in the past year.
Sony WH-1000XM6 are back to last Black Friday’s price
With noise cancelling that rivals Bose and 30 hours of battery, the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones are down to £298 at Amazon, saving £101.
For most of the past year they have sat between £330 and £399, dipping this low only around last Black Friday and again in July, so today’s price puts flagship Sony noise cancelling within reach for £101 less than full price.
The noise cancelling is where that money goes furthest, because when our TV and audio editor tested the Sony WH-1000XM6, he found Sony had finally caught up with Bose, with the headphones holding a personal bubble even in a café full of clattering plates.
Sitting on top of that quiet is the sound he called the real star of the show. Sony’s crowd-pleasing tuning gives weight to every part of a song, so stadium rock and the latest pop hits both sound great on the same pair.
Anyone with a particular taste can shape it further through the equaliser in the Sound Connect app, and with 30 hours of battery even with noise cancelling switched on, a transatlantic flight there and back fits on a single charge.
When the battery does finally run low, fast charging gets it topped up quickly, which suits anyone who only remembers to plug their headphones in an hour or so before they need to head out of the door.
Travelling with them is easier this time too, since the WH-1000XM6 fold down into a compact case again, fixing the one thing that made the previous model less portable than the pairs that came before it.
All of it explains why, in our best noise cancelling headphones 2026 list, we picked the WH-1000XM6 as the best Sony ANC over-ears, and at £298 they are the easiest they have been to recommend all year.
Frequent flyers, daily commuters and music fans who hop between genres will get the most from the Sony WH-1000XM6, and at £298 in Amazon’s early Black Friday sale, this is the moment to make them yours.
