Less than a month after making their debut, the WH-1000XM6<\/strong> are on sale at Amazon in black<\/a>, blue<\/a>, and platinum<\/a> with a $30 gift card for $448. It\u2019s not a straight cash discount, sure, but if you were already debating picking up Sony\u2019s latest pair of noise-canceling headphones, it makes the $50 price hike over the last-gen XM5<\/a> easier to stomach.<\/p>\n

If you were to ignore the steep price hike, the new XM6 are a welcome improvement over the XM5 in every way. They\u2019re outfitted with Sony\u2019s latest noise-cancellation chip, which allows them to do a better job at drowning out the ambient noise you might encounter on the street, at your local coffee shop, or on your next cross-country flight. Their transparency mode is as natural-sounding as ever, too, and thanks to a new set of drivers, they deliver clearer vocals and the same dynamic, rich sound for which the XM series is known.<\/p>\n

Design-wise, they also represent an excellent return to form, albeit with a few minor tweaks for added comfort and convenience. They sport a wider headband that\u2019s designed to alleviate pressure during longer listening sessions, along with a redesigned power button that\u2019s easier to distinguish from the onboard ANC button. More importantly, however, they once again collapse with the aid of a joint in each arm, allowing them to take up less room in the included carrying case. As someone who frequently travels with the XM5 \u2014 the only pair in the XM series that can\u2019t<\/em> fold down \u2014 I can say the change is greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n
