The best headphones I’ve ever tested just got even cheaper for Black Friday

The Black Friday deals have already wowed me this year, but this new offer I’ve found has simply blown my mind. Yes, although they were already on sale before, the best headphones I’ve ever tested just got discounted again! That means that you can get the Sony WH-1000XM6 for £299.99 at Amazon (was £399), which is £50 cheaper than I’ve ever seen them for before.

In the US? Fear not. Although the original deal hasn’t been sweetened (yet), you can still get the Sony WH-1000XM6 for $398 at Amazon (was $459.99). That’s a tidy saving of more than $60!

I’m wearing these headphones while typing this article, and in all honesty, I’ve barely taken them off for the last six months. They supply intoxicatingly deep bass, deliciously rich mids, and tightly controlled treble, meaning your favorite tracks will sound better than they ever have before. And with world-class active noise cancelling, you’ll also be able to shut yourself off entirely from the outside world.

You can read about the deals in full below – and of course, you can check out our Black Friday deals hub for the best offers on everything, from Nintendo Switch 2 consoles through to smart watches.

In my Sony WH-1000XM6 review, I hailed the cans for their revamped sound signature, which was crafted alongside top-tier mastering engineers, and delivers immersive, dynamic, and carefully balanced audio.

I also loved their noise-crushing capabilities, with the XM6’s ANC directly rivalling the new Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones Gen 2 in that department. You get 30 hours of battery life, silky smooth touch controls actually worth using, and a ton of features to uncover in the Sound Connect companion app. The XM6 are also the prettiest headphones Sony has released, in my view, but unlike the Sony WH-1000XM5, they actually fold too!

Ultimately, this deal is going to be exceptionally hard to beat, especially in the UK. As our Audio Editor, Becky Scarrott put it, you’re getting “an extra £50 off the absolute best”. So, if you or a loved one wants to take their music listening experiences to new heights, make sure you grab the discounted Sony WH-1000XM6 while they’re still this cheap!
