Sony / SPECIFICATION-BASED RESEARCH

WH-1000XM6

Over-ear wireless headphones with active noise cancellation. Sony lists up to 30 hours of battery life with noise cancellation on; actual runtime depends on use.

Who it may suit

Consider these if you want noise-cancelling headphones for a commute or a shared workspace.

Worth checking

Noise-cancellation claims do not establish how well the fit or sound will suit you. Check return conditions and the exact XM6 model.

YOUR NEXT STEP

Start with the manufacturer's current product information. Then compare the final price, delivery, warranty and returns with the retailer you choose.
