The ANC buds are still quite new, having been released just over a month ago. By Bethany Allard on March 25, 2026. All products featured are independently selected by Mashable’s editors and writers. If you buy something through links on our site, Mashable may earn an affiliate commission.
The best Sony audio product I’ve ever tried is getting its largest discount during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale. Deal pricing and availability are subject to change post-publication. Learn more about how deals are selected.
Save $31.99: You can get the new Sony WF-1000XM6 earbuds for $298 at Amazon, reduced from $329.99. This deal will save you 10% on the noise-canceling earbuds as of March 25.
As a professional headphones reviewer, I closely watch for audio deals during events like Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, particularly for high-end models. Running from March 25 to 31, this sale tempts with the possibility of holding out for better prices, but Amazon’s current offer is already impressive: a discount on the Sony WF-1000XM6, lowering them to $298.
While the $31.99 cut might seem trivial, consider the context. Released just last month, the updates from XM5 to XM6, while not groundbreaking, improved upon an already solid predecessor. It’s remarkable that such a new product is discounted at all, dropping to below $300 — its lowest price yet.
In my review of the earbuds, I found Sony justifies their premium price by delivering the most well-rounded earbuds available. Their noise cancellation rivals Bose, the typical industry leader; the sound quality is unmatched; and the battery life lasts an impressive eight hours. As a staunch advocate of budget earbuds, I still recognize these as the premier choice.
However, the touch controls require acclimation, given the smaller activation surface. Still, they have fewer flaws than the $299 Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2 earbuds, making them the top contender for quality earbuds.
Should these not convince you, there are other discounted noise-canceling and wireless earbuds available in Amazon’s Big Spring Sale.
