Sony WH-1000XM6 post-Prime Day deal: $378 at Amazon

Prime Day 2026 officially wrapped up early Friday morning, but a few deals survived the post-sale cleanup. The Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones are $378 at Amazon, down from $459.99 — an 18% discount or $81.99 savings. The previous-generation XM5 headphones remain at a record low of $198.

Tech editor Timothy Beck Werth gave the XM6 a 4.5/5 rating and said the noise cancellation is so effective that turning it on instantly puts you in a "bubble of silence."

Sony upgraded the XM6 with its QN3 processor, added 12 microphones just for active noise cancellation (up from eight in the previous model) and six mics for phone calls. You still get 30 hours of playtime with ANC on, and unlike the XM5s, you can listen to music while you charge them.

Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise-Cancelling Headphones — $198 (was $399.99, save $201.99). Sony WH-1000XM6 — $378 (was $459.99, save $81.99).
