If you’re looking for a great pair of noise-canceling headphones, Sony’s WH-1000XM6 are amongst the best available and are now down to $368 ($92 off) at Amazon in black or gray. While their high price usually makes them harder for us to suggest over the last-gen model, which is often on sale for around $278.99, today’s deal makes the XM5 much easier to recommend. Just note the deal is expected to end around 10:50PM ET.

Sony’s flagship headphones build upon their predecessor with a new chip that powers the company’s most powerful active noise cancellation yet, making them even better at blocking out background sounds like traffic on busy streets. They boast new drivers, delivering detailed, bass-rich sound with adjustable EQ. Voice call performance is improved as well, so you sound clearer on calls.
In terms of design, they’re once again foldable like the XM4, making them easier to toss into a backpack or carry-on. Sony also widened the headband with removable ear cups, so they feel more comfortable during long listening sessions. Battery life is rated at up to 30 hours with ANC on, and you can even charge them while listening, though you’ll need both a 3.5mm cable to listen to music and a second USB-C for charging.
