Sony loves a good discount during sales periods, and this year's Amazon Big Deal Days, AKA Prime Day 2, is no different.
The brand's flagship wireless headphones, the Sony WH-1000XM6, are fabulous all-rounders, and now that they've dropped from their usual retail price of £399 to just £319 at Amazon, we can imagine that you're tempted to dive in and grab a pair.
It's not a bad idea, but just hold fire for a second. The XM6s' Award-winning predecessors, the WH-1000XM5, are also heavily discounted, dropping from £380 to just £192 at Amazon, a mega saving of £188.
Looks like you've got a tough decision to make....
Best Prime Day Sony wireless headphones deals
Right then, two pairs of flagship Sony over-ear wireless headphones, but which pair should you pick this Amazon Prime Day?
For sheer value, we'd direct you towards the WH-1000XM5. They're not Sony's newest cans anymore, but the XM5 remain a sensational option for anyone seeking great sound, high-performance features, and a comfortable, premium-feeling design.
Plus, you're getting all that Sony quality for one of the lowest prices we've yet seen on the former flagships.
30 hours of battery with ANC on? Check. DSEE upscaling for cleaning up lower-quality files? Check. Support for Sony's 360 Reality Audio and higher-res LDAC codec? Check. A five-star review and a few What Hi-Fi? Awards for their trouble? Also check.
The WH-1000XM6 are, essentially, a case of 'more of the same but better'. All of the same features as above are transferred across to the new flagbearers, including 30 hours of battery, DSEE and 360 Reality Audio, now bolstered by even better noise cancelling and the ability to fold away into a ball.
They take the XM5s' sound to a new level, too, offering a step above the XM5 in terms of detail, dynamics and openness. Both pairs are a joy to listen to, but if you want the best wireless sound that Sony has to offer, it's the WH-1000XM6 every day of the week.
A tricky decision to make, but neither pair will leave you feeling short-changed. Check out the XM5 and XM6 on Amazon and save yourself a packet.
