Sony’s best noise-canceling headphones are now available for just £298.
Amazon has slashed the Sony WH-1000XM6 from its RRP of £399, a 25% reduction that brings it back to the £298 price it reached last Black Friday and corresponds to the lowest price they achieved last year.

With noise cancellation that rivals Bose and 30 hours of battery life, the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones are reduced to £298 on Amazon, a saving of £101.
For most of the past year they’ve been between £330 and £399, only hitting that low last Black Friday and again in July, so today’s price puts Sony’s flagship noise canceling device within reach for £101 less than its normal price.
The money goes furthest into noise cancellation, because when our TV and audio editor tested the Sony WH-1000XM6, he found that Sony had finally caught up with Bose, and the headphones held a personal bubble even in a cafe full of clattering plates.
Above this silence sits the sound, which he described as the real star of the show. Sony’s audience-friendly tuning adds weight to every part of a song, so both stadium rock and the latest pop hits sound great on the same pair.
Anyone with specific tastes can customize it further using the equalizer in the Sound Connect app, and with 30 hours of battery life even with noise canceling turned on, a round-trip transatlantic flight can fit in on a single charge.

When the battery eventually runs low, quick charging will quickly recharge it. This is ideal for anyone who only remembers to plug in their headphones after an hour or so before they have to head out the door.
Traveling with them is also easier this time around, as the WH-1000XM6 folds back into a compact body, addressing the one issue that made the previous model less portable than previous models.
All of this explains why we picked the WH-1000XM6 as Sony’s best ANC over-ears in our list of the best noise-canceling headphones 2026, and at £298 they’re the easiest to recommend all year.
Frequent flyers, daily commuters and genre-hopping music fans will get the most out of the Sony WH-1000XM6, and at £298 in Amazon’s early Black Friday sale, this is the time to snap it up.
