Pay Less Than Half Price for Sony’s Outstanding WH-1000XM6 Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones
eBay retailer Secondipity, via its "BRANDS20" coupon code, is offering refurbished Sony WH-1000XM6 noise-cancelling wireless headphones for $215.99, more than half off the $460 retail price. IGN highlights this as the lowest price it has seen for the headphones, noting the refurbished units come with a two-year warranty and are reportedly indistinguishable from new according to buyer reviews, making it a notable deal for anyone shopping for premium noise-cancelling headphones.
The WH-1000XM6, released in 2025 as the successor to the 2022 WH-1000XM5, features a more powerful QN3 audio processor and 12 beam-forming microphones for improved sound quality and noise cancellation, along with hinged, foldable earcups for greater comfort and portability. The battery lasts up to 30 hours, with a three-minute USB-C charge providing roughly three hours of playback. While older models like the XM5 or XM4 offer cheaper alternatives, IGN considers the XM6's upgrades worthwhile for buyers who can afford it.
In short

- That's 54% off the $460 retail price, with a 2-year warranty included

Explained simply
Sony’s WH-1000XM6 are wireless over-ear headphones designed to reduce background noise, a feature often used when travelling or working in busy places. They followed Sony’s WH-1000XM5 and include updated sound processing, microphones and a foldable design.
Sony is a major electronics company, and its noise-cancelling headphones compete with other premium models. Refurbished headphones have been used or returned and then checked for resale; their condition and warranty can differ from a new pair, so buyers may want to check the seller’s terms.
