The deal
For a short time, B&H Photo is selling Sony's WF-1000XM6 earbuds in black for $238. That is $92 less than the usual price. Other stores do not have a discount on this model right now. The sale price is also lower than the older WF-1000XM5, which is the last generation.
Key numbers
- Sale price: $238 at B&H Photo
- Discount: $92 off (about 28% off the $330 list price)
- Other retailers: no discount on the XM6 right now
What the earbuds do
Noise-canceling earbuds block out outside sounds, like people talking or traffic, so you can focus on your music. The reviewer said the XM6 blocks other people's talking better than any earbuds he has tested. Sony added microphones that use AI to keep your voice clear on calls, even in noisy places. The Sony Sound Connect app lets you change how much outside sound you hear and set up the touch controls.
Why it matters
If you want high-end earbuds, this is a good time to buy. The XM6 is a clear upgrade over the last version, and this sale makes it cheaper than the older model. The deal may not last long, so shoppers who want it should act soon.
