My Favorite Sony Headphones Are $60 Off Again
One of the best headphone deals right now is for my favorite headphones: Sony's 1000X series has been around since 2016, with each new model improving on the previous iteration, the latest being the Sony WH-1000XM6, released in 2025. These are the best over-ear headphones I tested in 2025 (or ever, really). Right now, you can get the WH-1000XM6 headphones for $398 (originally $459.99), their second-lowest price ever, according to price-tracking tools.
